Looks great. That is a must do on DCT in my opinion.

I'm not sure how long the ceramic coating will last, probably years I would guess. Depends how aggressively you wash your wheels. If you use the rubbing compound like I did that is permanent. Any light rubbing compound will gloss out a matte or satin finish. Ceramic just adds a little more to the wet look but not a whole lot.

How much was this hood and where did you source it from?

I ordered it directly from a BMW parts dealer, It was 6500$ including shipping and the two plastic vents + gas struts but before tax.
Not bad considering in the US IND is selling it for $8K

Maynard · 02-06-2021, 11:06 AM

Does it come prepainted to match, or do you need to do that yourself?

Installed the CF grille today, a bit of a pain (with skin 'shavings' to evidence) to unclip with a hand through the grille rather than drop the bumper off, but please with the finished look. Now complements the CF side grilles and rear diffuser and tips

Ended up doing a DIY on how to retrofit an apple MagSafe charger for our cars

Dipped my toe into Bimmercode and Bimmerlink.

ASD OFF
Burbles off (BL)
Easy exit seats
Disclaimers off

Will play around some more at a later date.

It comes with primer as you can see in the pictures I posted on page 157 🙂
I then painted it and got it covered with PPF

Hi! What coding parameters (I'm assuming expert mode?) did you change for the easy exit seats functionality?

Very interested in these, as I noticed my first barrel gouge from this design issue last time I washed the car. Would definitely like to have this sorted or something similar before upgrading to some more expensive 763Ms and gouging those as well.

Probably going to gamble on this one, the OEM style I got from AA concepts was absolute trash and has to be pretty heavily modified to work. Was advertised as fitting OG M2 and M2C so I should've prob known better.

Yeah the lip comes with holes already pre-drilled but it doesn't line up with the OEM holes. Basically you have to drill them in. The fitment is perfect. I was worried at first because I don't purchase stuff like that from Ebay, but I took a chance. It came really secured as well.

Got my CS lip today, significantly better quality than I expected. 10x better than the AA Concepts one I got. Very pleased with it.

Thanks for the post!
