Though they aren't a bargain priced item, I do love how the BlendMount kit tucks the camera up and away... not to mention that you don't see the bottom side adhesive from the standard BlackVue mount from the outside.

Did you direct wire into the mirror? Or run down to the fuse box?

Thanks!

I ran it down as I had to run the wire for the rear cam anyways. This way I can integrate a backup/separate power source for the cam in desired down the road.

I ended up buying the BlendMount dash cam mount specifically for the F97/G01 (BBV-2918). The one from the old F80 worked and even better with the added extension piece that I bought, but since I recently picked up a F39, the F80 mount is going in there as it's also more for the F39. Recycling at its best....plus, the mounts are over $140 each 🤦🏻*♂️.

Here are some comparative pics.

Love your build Will. CF Grille, Skirts, and Mirrors look great. I ordered the skirt and grille but would love to know where specifically you got the mirror caps. I checked ebay and there are soo many! Cheers.

It was really easy as the side skirts are made to match the contours of the factory side skirts.

I didn’t need to lift the car to do this, though that meant on I did need to lay on the ground to ensure the alignment and mounting. I specifically used 3M VHB tape and a couple screws. You probably can getaway with just 3M VHB tape, but have a couple screws at the front and rear isn’t a bad thing. For the front, just measure and look where prior to mounting the side skirts to take in consideration the puddle lights

Sorry, a bit hasty question from my side. I can find the HR spacers, but as the extended bolts will be non BMW I struggle to find the correct length, so if you had a reference to what you got (or even where you purchased it from) I would be grateful!

No problem.

I forgot the full specs off hand, but off the top of my head they are M14x1.25 lug bolts with a 17mm head. In regards to length, rule of thumb is to take your stock length and add the thickness of the spacer to get your overall length needed. I forgot the exact length of my H&R ones, but I can try to look it up tomorrow.
