Fitted my front lip today. Real easy to do. I ordered BMW style under tray screws as I didn’t like the screws/washers that were supplied. Also used genuine 3M tape. Only five holes drilled into the original bumper. All in the black plastic areas and can’t be seen when the lip is removed. Fit and finish is excellent I can’t see the difference between BMW black plastic and the lip.

I replaced the forged carbon mirror caps with standard weave caps today. Got to say with one of each on I do prefer the look of the forged caps.
They were a bit controversial on here when I first installed them and I’ve had a few comments from people that thought they were just dirty or scratched caps, so I thought I’d change them for a while. They now match the rest of the carbon on the car.

I'm in the minority as well and like forged. Are you selling your forged caps?

Yes I would consider selling them but postage costs to the U.S from the U.K is a joke and would be far to expensive to make it worthwhile.

I just did a search on eBay for BMW under tray screws. There are loads on there. This is what I used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133521520...mis&media=COPY

Swapped out the AliExpress anniversary badges for OEM as they weren’t as expensive as I expected them to be at £45 each. The fit and finish is obviously superior but got to say the Ali ones are hard to tell they aren’t genuine when not next to the real deal.
While at the parts counter I treated myself to a carbon steering wheel trim to match the interior of the car. Quality is beautiful. Will fit soon once I have found a set of G80 paddles at a decent price.

Finally did the wheel trim today. So glad I went with OEM. The fitment was spot on and was easy to swap over. The amount of wires and plugs in that wheel though is unbelievable. That was the hardest part about the swap, getting all the electrics to go back in the right places.
Paddles are G80 copies from AliExpress. Perfect fitment and OEM feel. Carbon is flawless and matches the OEM carbon on the dash.

Shifter was very very simple to do. I-drive was pretty tricky getting the ribbon cable to connect back in and then re engage the locking clip. There’s very little room for maneuver and the clip is extremely fragile.

I fitted the optional carbon trim to my crystal shifter today. Weave matches OEM. Subtle but it’s the little touches.

It’s been a long time coming but I’ve finally got illuminated seat badges
Thanks to a friend that isn’t on this forum who helped and most of all njw1967 (AKA Neil) who worked out which pins were what from the rear footwell lights, thanks to him, I now have seat badges that illuminate on unlock and then stay on and go out 5-6 minutes after shut down when the car is locked. (KL15power). I’m absolutely more than happy with the result. Very simple to do. I made a plug and play mini loom with factory style plugs that plug into the rear footwell lighting under each front seat. So no cutting or splicing of original cables and completely reversible and pretty much undetectable that I’ve added the headrest badges to the system (apart from them actually illuminating and staying on). Neil will be offering for sale these ready made splitter looms soon. So check out his ‘quest for illuminated seat badges’ thread very soon. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...ed+Seat+badges
