Where did you get the puddle lights? How was the install?

Your photo actually points out another very nice, functional element of the G80/82 that becomes apparent only once you start using these vehicles. . . the door cupholders are actually excellent. The are slanted back and actually support a large Diet Coke cup (from MacDonalds).

I installed OEM ones from iND a day or two ago. Not super cheap from them (I think $180 from memory?), but came quickly and install was super easy

I had the thin carbon ones on my F87 and I'm really hoping they make them for the G8x as well. They were almost invisible but made a big difference.

Nice idea! Can you post pics of how you mounted them? Also which model of the universal product did you use?

Sorry for the delay. iND. also purchased an additional set of lens with a few additional logos. Made it rather expensive. I believe there are other after market brands, not sure who, but did see some at some point. Much cheaper but can't talk about quality cause I just don't know. The ones I purchased are great. Install is super easy. All you need is a flat head to pry out what's already in there. Disconnect the wire and plug new ones in. Takes a few minutes with the iND set to figure out how to replace the lens from the standard BMW logo that comes installed.

Cup holder is next level! Never knew what I was missing. It's slanted toward you and super deep.

The F8X started this trend in M cars and now they've improved upon it.

M Mats, M key holder, M valve caps and the most (according to my SO) ridiculous of upgrades, M petrol cap cover....

But hey I know it's there!

To add soon
Carbon seat backs (my own treat as I chose not to get the bucket seats)
M sill guards
Winter wheels ((Sept time in prep)
Maybe the wheel as think or is a tad thick / slippy...

Well I got it last night so that's a start. I want to thank the forum as I have been reading it for a month or two. I was in the camp of hate the nose then slowly warmed to it.
I also live in Southern California where dealers are insane....except the one I bought mine from last night.
It's a long story but I got what I mostly wanted for 1k under MSRP and exactly what I wanted for a 2020 CLA45 AMG that I was not in love with. It's been awhile since I had a BMW ( I did have a 2020 Supra which sort of counts) but have been with Porsche the past 8 years and still have my GT3 and an older air-cooled. I have a whole 67 miles under my belt, this streak of not being able to drive a car before purchase is getting ridiculous but so far I really like it. Mods will be coming!

Enjoy! I loved my 911 but the M really doesn't make me miss it. The M is a great combo of sport, power, luxury and practicality. Enjoy!
