I have mine ceramic pro coated as well. They are phenomenally better. By no means can you get out of putting in a little elbow grease. Now, having said that, I do get away with spraying them down with my “foam-it” sprayer (Purchased from auto fanatic) and his brake dust formula; meaning touch-less. After Aggressive breaking or several miles, you still have to agitate the dust with. You do not have to scrub.

The actual paint of the car is way better! You can easily do a touch-less wash with a decent foam cannon and wash mix to maintain its cleanliness.

Got my San Marino painted reflectors in… now just need my car.

Hey all,
So far just detail, looking to see how the mod community will evolve for now.

Installed the floating center caps and black M tire pressure caps. I didn’t want to do tints at first but I need to get my windows tinted asap

FITM3NT · 08-21-2021, 09:21 PM

Got the car back from the detailer yesterday. Here are some pictures from the detailer.

My M4 is in 111 status, and likely won't arrive until October/November, but I already got a clutch stop for it. I was able to drive a G82 when they first came out, and I absolutely loved it. However, the clutch travel seemed a bit absurd. Hoping the clutch stop fixes that.

Do your center caps sit flush with the wheel face, or do they stick out a little bit?

The floating center caps will stick out slightly and won't sit flush with the wheel like the standard ones, at least they sure don't with my X3, and from the looks of the ones sitting in the box waiting for my M3 to arrive it will be the same. If they sat flush with the wheel I don't think they'd be able to "float".

You should return it, it messes up the rev match feature of the car and can lead to more issues than it solves. Check out the thread for it and read what others have said.

It was only 10 bucks, but I'll check out the thread you're talking about. Thanks for the heads up

becoming more and more annoyed with the small fuel tank in G8X cars.... gas station trips are now a weekly chore!

per google... 17.8L/100km = 13.2 US MPG

I always go right around half a tank. You should see how frequent that is.

Lol. I was trying to think of any logic at all for spending the money on a fancy gas cap.

Were the BMW stripes supposed to be off-center to the right like that? Or is that an optical illusion picked up by the camera... wheel looks sick though!

I got it done @ 1 oclock position

What is that metal plate on the floor? Seems cool (if potentially slippery when wet)

I installed the stop and have no issues with the rev matching. I used all of the included 'washers'.
