Installed AFE intake.
Short test drive to ensure no issues. Immediately noticed markedly improved throttle response, increased turbo spool & nice intake noises. Will check what improvements the P3 gauge shows on the weekend but pleasantly surprised with results so far.

Congrats! BM3 is good stuff! Personally, I turned the burbles completely off. I run a stock exhaust and catless DP and the car sounds awesome the way it is imo.

Finally made the dream come true and got some 763M's in the finish I wanted. Stripped the original semi-gloss black and had them refinished in Prismatic EVO Grey. Picking them up tomorrow for ceramic coating. Should be installed this Friday. Can't wait!

I feel fortunate to have picked up a M235i with fairly low miles (31k). Sent a quick message to BMW USA regarding the options list and learned that the car has a limited slip differential. The VIN decoder websites did not show this. Grateful for the car and happy that I can learn to drift someday. First commute drive today. Hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Cheers!

Here's a side by side, but there are many more pix to come.
On the left is the stock semi-gloss black, BMW calls it Matte, but it's not always matte, depends on the wheel you get (and they are all different). On the right is the same wheel refinished, same lighting, same color temp, just a bit of a different angle. Last edited by VisualEcho; 05-28-2021 at 06:11 PM.. |

The work isn't perfect, but 1.) I have yet to find a powder coater that does perfect work, and 2.) it's as good or better than the factory finish, and I know for certain more durable. |

Nice! I was just about to order a swatch of the EVO Grey because I wanted something similar to the Orbit Grey Matte you see on the 666M's, but your great photos convinced me that it's the right color choice.
