Thank you! One of these days I’ll get an actual photo shoot done. But I agree, it keeps on giving. Always different. 😆

That's awesome, looking forward to seeing them on your car!

Right there with you! I’ll be sure to post an update. One (of limited) reasons I’m excited for the winter 😅.

Any kind of deterrent, right? Any thing that may make them second guess their malicious intentions is a plus.

Both of those are GOAT interiors with Dravit.

I personally, today, would probably do KO since you tend to see Dravit/Fiona more often just to be a bit different.

I’d also love to see how Ivory looks with carbon buckets. Have never seen that one on a DG either.

I went for Fiona and think it looks amazing. KO would also be great, depends how bright you want to go! Fiona is a bit more subtle but still gives the cabin some great colour

A Google search only turns up two types of BMW wheel locks. The gen 1 spline, which I had: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/5...EEL-STUD-LOCKS

And the gen 2 spline, which in addition to appearing to have (pictures aren't great) the same vulnerability as mine, only have five possible combinations, vs. the 20 combinations for gen 1: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/6...--SPLINE-STYLE

So it would be trivial for organized thieves to just carry all 5 keys on them.

If you're talking about the ones with the spinning ring that prevents grabbing from the outside (not sure if the gen2 ones are this way), well there's a tool for removing those that is WAY easier, faster, and quieter than what I did: https://agatools.com/products/aga-wlrt

Gave her a bath the other day. I've had the car a little more than a year now and I still love the color!

Not quite yet. I drove it 130 miles today. It was fairly pleasant.

There's not much else to be done to your car I'd imagine! I'm considering more modifications in a couple of years but satisfied it's exactly what I want RN. Had the 1st service with BMW at 3,200 miles and don't expect to have more than 6K for the next...she doesn't get out a lot either.

The value is a little bit of a deterrent, as well. The car doesn't feel special, when there have been zero trade in offers over $70k. Nothing like a $40k kick in the pills, after 2 years of ownership.
