Did you install the KW HAS yourself? I'm ordering them soon and may install myself if it's not too much of a pain.

No I did not install myself; way too much work for me. The first shop that I took the car to installed the springs incorrectly and also had the rear slammed as low as the car would go; it looked terrible. I took my car to a very professional shop who corrected the original install and corrected the height.

Yes I agree, the bronze looks great on grey and darker colored cars. I had an M8 (photo attached) with the wheels powder coated bronze. While black does look good I prefer bronze for a more custom look. Bronze would look nice on your blue car.

I don't want a loaner. Because if i ask for a loaner, that might encourage them to take their time. There's a lot of "kids" that work at that service dept from what i hear. And i know they see these cars all day everyday but the less time they have the car in their hands the less that can go wrong. I don't want to make a thread about, "so i took my car to get the break in oil change and this is what happened......." lol

Some dealers wont have the right crew on Saturday but its all about location.

Oh I drove the shit out of both my G80's from day one... but warmed up the oil first and went up and down the the rpm range with no lugging or fixed speeds (for the most part). Broke it in like a motorcycle stretch those seals.

I exceeded the 5500rpm limit a couple of times already. By mistake. I can't time the gearing just right yet as my C7Z has extremely long gears and it's easier for me to remember what RPM i would be at whatever MPH at whatever gear.

This car is a lease so frankly i don't care what happens to this car at 40-50k+ because i won't have it at that mileage. But i just don't want issues during my 3 year stint with it. So i do want to abide by the "rules" so to speak.

However i will beat the ever living piss out of this car though. Make sure I BREAK IT IN properly. You know....for the next owner

Just a cover with 3m adhesive. Noticing the XM signal is more vulnerable to drop under bridges and areas with lots of trees. I listen to XM especially during Christmas holidays with my so and am considering removing it if it becomes anymore of a nuisance. Still love the look and gps has not had any issues to date. Keeping it on for now. I will give updates on my experience with it as time goes. Hope that helps!

Looking awesome! How much is the drop and any consideration of camber kit?

I like the way the carbon stands out, against Dravit Gray. Installed these, today.

Drove in heavy snow for the first time (from town to home, ~15 miles). Temps a few degrees below freezing, so it was slipperier than usual. Tires/car took conditions in stride.

[luckylingy]

... then, because I don't have to go anywhere for a few days, I washed it.

Really like the look of carbon against Dravit Grey -- just the right amount of accent, if you aim to keep things subtle!

If you want to try you can order PN 65205A59AB7. It's aramid which is still a weave like carbon but it is considered "electromagnetically permeable". Which is probably why it won't affect XM or other signals. That is the part number for the one in the top photo I showed.

My M3C is waiting on a boat to cross Atlantic.

However, ordered few items for her today.

Uniden R7, Blend mount with mirror tap, and all weather floor mats!

What have you done with your M3/M4 today?

Finally got my radar detector hardwired👍🏼

Try the launch control, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

Went into the M2 presets and made a few changes, now the car will do launch control just by hitting the M2 button and flooring the throttle with the brake depressed.

Result: You're not ready for how violent this car launches. I told myself, self, it can't be much better than brake boosting is, because that's essentially what you're doing. Bullshit. I let this fakkn rip, and holy shit, xDrive. All 4 tires broke loose, and this thing turned into a missile. So, so violent. Easily the hardest launch I've ever partaken it.
