Car is up on stands whilst I respray the brake calipers, so took the chance to give it an interim oil change & fitted the BMS alloy filter housing which has the benefit of a heat sink machined into it.

Please post pics of your calipers when you're done! I'm considering this myself, I just haven't chosen a color

Left is the osram, the one on the right is the OEM bulb.

First time tracking at Streets of Willow - first time on camber plates with MUCH more camber and 275/295s - to say there is more grip would be an understatement:

Got it (mostly) prepped for winter with the new snow shoes. Thankfully the old wheels from my M235 worked out just fine with a little help from some spacers.
