Always better to wash inside than in the sun.

Has channels underneath so the water just flows out the garage door opening.

Installed black roundels from IND. Had them on my F80 and loved them so I had to get them for the F97. Perfect OEM+ look.

I ordered myself some of the New Carbon Shifters that we see in the G80/G82 M3/M4.
Can't wait till they arrive............👌🏼

I also had the X3M Competition in at Suspension Secrets to have their full suspension & geometry set up, the car now feels so much more planted, tighter & responsive on the road👍🏼

fangel111 · 03-11-2021, 12:08 PM

A little bit of G11 in F97 ))

This one - https://aliexpress.ru/item/400072013...archweb201603_

Works with Pitaka case. Not perfect but good.

Thanks! It all started after installing climate from G30 with metal buttons. Then I bought in our local ebay handbrake button and iDrive from G11, disassemble them and mine and replace metal buttons. It's not very difficult.
Next stage is door buttons )

A quick wash and photos. Still with winters ...

Did the same. The ride quality/noise with MSS springs and Michelin tires is night and day over stock.

Can I ask what they actually changed? I.e. increased camber, more/less rear/front toe, etc?

I'd also be curious to see how your tire wear patterns change with the new alignment settings (or were they able to do more than just alignment changes)?

I know that after I got my car back from my MSS spring install with about a 1 1/8" drop all around, they car felt amazing. However, the alignment specs were way off so I would have destroyed the tires in pretty short order. Lots of extra front toe out and additional negative camber. But the car felt much more stable and the steering feedback was better.

Installation required a combination of stock screws, drilling for additional screws and some glue. I wanted a perfect "seal" and guarantee that it wouldn't fall off during the winter months in NY. You may be able to simply use the stocks screws already there, but I would recommend some glue as well.
