Frozen is nice. One day I'll do it. Just haven't yet. I enjoy Dravit Gray, though, for its many colors in different lights. All three of these, are Dravit.

I'll check mine tonight but I think you can flip the slide over like an "over easy egg" keeping the large tab in the same slot. Then rotate that entire black lens barrel 180 degrees.

Looks sharp, especially with the tire dressing. BTW, I meant pay an extra $4-5k for an individual grey. To each there own…

Yeah they only fit one way. Installed mine today.
Which orientation is better, One or Two? (I started with One then changed to Two).

The passenger side is the one I couldn't figure out. I did mine like option 2. But probably need to change it. How's your passenger door configured?

The same, i.e M facing outwards.
Only issue I have with option 2 is when the door is partly open (as in the 1st pic), the M logo does not fully show. However it looks better with door fully open.

How's it feel compared to stock?

Does anyone lower the car for performance? Seems like most do for cosmetics, which looks great.

Put on the IND Carbon Fiber Antenna cover.

I got a sunroof car so at lease I can get some CF up there!

Excuse the dirty car. It’s getting hand washed Friday.

More pics to come in sunlight soon!

How do you drive at night in the rain with poor to no street lighting? Genuine question. I have faced this a couple of times this winter with my X5 (only 35%) where rain on roads has made it difficult for me to see road markings out the driver side window in aforementioned conditions. I have to rely on my imagination more than my vision until my headlights throw onto the markings and I can see them out the front.

The worst problem with these are being completely blind in near pitch dark conditions where the cameras are all wet and useless for 360 degree views.

This is making me consider doing 40-55% on my M4.

Luckily the laser headlights do a great job lighting up the road. I went with 15% xpel ceramic on the sides and 55% xpel ceramic on the windshield. I've been told ceramic is easier to see out of compared to non-ceramic.

I tried to capture the differences between views in one picture

Trying to figure the best default settings for local & interstate driving. Have the Z4 in Sport for local with Adaptive for interstate.

Want to be sure 8th gear is used on interstate, average speed in the 85mph range.

I saw your car yesterday morning at Limitless Motorworks (my shop too). David told me that you were next up to get the KW's. Very nice, and the kiddie seats in the back are a nice touch too. I have to admit I was tempted to sit in your bucket seats as I haven't had the opportunity yet, but remained a gentleman and left them unsullied. We also agree on gas stations, Patricia is the best. Happy motoring, and see you around the hood.

You should be able to flip them over. It's upside down.

This is correct. There is a "Top" and it's also tabbed to only fit into the lens one way.

I tried messing with this the other morning too and experienced the same. Of course prior to you posting I never would have noticed this as I don't open the passenger often enough when it is dark out. Now, I'm just annoyed about this and of course I'll always notice it.
