Why BMW does not offer a molded in mud flap is rediculous. GT500 Mustang type needed.

BMW needs to step up.
Search for Tommy L garage mud flaps. People seem to be happy with them.

BMW needs to step up the program and quit worrying about "interior fragrance" and get real.


p.s. -- Some rub on 12mm fronts with PZERO's while other owners do not. Not adding up.
I agree. Molded mud flaps from BMW would be a perfect addition. The current offerings literally look like some old man's mud flaps on his Delta 88.

I will wait until this type of OEM part is available for the G80/82. Molded in like a 50k Ford.

Do I see spacers or my eyes are playing games with me? LOL
No lip. Currently car has mss adjustable suspension, spacers, my shops midpipe that we well, downpipes, bm3, ind sidemarkers and black badges, 20% tint. I have been looking at lips etc and wheels next. Looking to see how close the car will get to 700whp first

I have been thinking of making my own carbon fiber mudflaps but I know Tommy L garage on youtube makes them. Tell him I sent you. He will hook you up.

I bypassed that, but I know the car I ordered took forever to get to port, then it sat there for a while. Don't know if the backlog at port is still going on, hopefully they're working through it and it won't be too long.

Are you on MSS version 2 spring? How do they ride?
I hear they ride a little stiff. What size spacers are you running? Are you on Pzero or Mich.

20% tints look, Sick man!

Very classy and sexy build so far. You should post your exhaust clip.

I have rode on both with 3 variants:

MSS the original
MSS the original with "hack" to drop it total about 35mm
MSS the 2.0

the 2.0 is softer and more compliant than the original and def the hack which was super super low.

The Original (I only have a pic on my PB car)



The Hack



The 2.0

You should follow this thread, it took me about 3.5 weeks to get on a ship.

question for everyone. are the rear red reflectors noticeable on this color? I keep going back and forth with ordering the IND color matched rear reflectors, but i feel like this color pretty much will match the stock reflectors so it may be pointless?

Either leave the stock reflectors, or get the black honeycomb ones to break up the color in the back.

Well after doing much research, watching every video on YouTube and reading this thread I am changing my M3 Competition XDrive order from Dravit Grey to Aventurine Red, will now go with silverstone interior as will never be dirty lol, Also probably change to black calipers as I don’t think the red look right with this colour, also getting the ext Carbon pack. In Australia and now the wait begins to about January or February with an October build.

Glad I could be of assistance Nice build.

And that's why this forum rocks, because you can make super informed decisions before you purchase.

BTW, I have the Silverstone interior, and don't let anyone fool you, it's a pain to keep clean...especially in the summertime with legs and arms exposed. The armrests (the door and the middle one) and the seat get quickly soiled from direct contact with arms and legs. And sometimes your clothes will attract some foreign substance, and then when you sit in the seat, it will transfer that substance to your leather. And there's a few places where the leather ends and there's actually a clothlike material on the edges and corners, in the seams, and this light cloth attracts dirt even faster. So you have to keep this clean too, because it's quite noticeable when it's not.

So keep a leather cleaner in your car at all times and be ready to put in work...else you're silverstone interior will be a dull grey in no time.

For anyone with the Silverstone interior and a convertible, I'm sure it's a never-ending battle - pollen, dirt, dust, sweat, etc. And for those with the Ivory interior ...it looks stunning, but my goodness, keeping it looking pristine HAS to be an epic battle, especially in the spring and summer.
