Would you mind taking a few more shots further away? How do you like them? Really considering this!!

How much further back? I have these, but the farther away you get the less you will see them because they blend in.

They are great, subtle but effective at avoiding rocks hitting your fender and door.

If you need a set and are located in USA let me know I can hook you up

How difficult to install? (assuming I have opposable thumbs and some higher function, but I'm not doing anything more difficult that lego technic).
Thanks,

Super easy. it took me less than 5 minutes to install.
I would recommend wrapping them with PPF. (Very easy to wrap as well)

Hey commander, how do you like it without the burbles? I was contemplating doing the same, but wasn't sure if i'd miss them a bit.

They are from Automotive Passion but I can provide you a set, send me an PM!

From Europe they take a while to ship so I am moving them here in USA to cut down on transit time. I ship 2-3 day priority.

I love it without the burbles; in all honesty I absolutely hate the burbles to begin with. It was also the number one item my wife hated too which just reaffirms I made the right decision marrying her lol.

Haha. My wife hates burbles. Even the kids are getting embarrassed now. They are annoying.

Although I might keep them on in sport+ just for the odd occasion I don't drive in sport+ as i find it too boosty / laggy.

I'll be disabling them with BM3, just waiting for the bolt capture to be fitted...

I also find Sport+ to be excessive response and my tuner has been dialing it back through the progression of my custom, Ecutek tune. With BM3 your tuner will be able to do the same. I elected to go with the MaxPsi crank hub which is going in right now. I'm unsure how I feel about the bolt capture...I hope it is a true solution.

I'm in the UK so I'm going with the Litchfield bolt capture rather than VTT (not that there is much to a capture). Litchfield warranty that if I have a hub slip with their capture fitted they'll deduct the full cost of the capture and fitting from the cost of their own hub solution fitment.

No one seems to have heard of a spun hub with a capture fitted, yet..

For sure! My girl hasn't learned fully to drive manual so she hasn't driven mine yet but she got to drive a DCT M2C during M Town and she was hooked on the car.

My wife had driven the ///M3 and ///M4 previously at Thermal BMW Performance Center and wasn't hooked...fast forward to driving the ///M2C and it's become an addiction for her. The good thing is she wasn't really a car person before...and the bad thing is I'm also slowly losing the M2C lol.
