Nice!!

I personally really like the one with the silver trim. While I was at the dealership, I saw it in the new X5 and I really love the look of it.

How much would this cost? Also I want to pay for it to be professionally installed as I dont really want to tinker around with the parts myself

So that silver trim piece is the stock version.

I took my wheel and replaced with the autotechnick Alcántara / carbon fiber . I also swapped out the paddles .

I bought my wheel used . You should check out g30 steering wheel swap thread that @sor put together last year. Very helpful.

I installed the wheel myself. Nothing special required as long as you source the same air bag as you have now (99 % sure it is three stage airbag)

Very nice build!
The only thing I would change are rims - would put 20” instead 19. They are far too small for this car. Either way might be a winter set at most to me.
Interior looks stunning :-)
I opted for cove fineline wood as well.

After having it for a little over a week, I am complete IN LOVE with this car! This was my second car ever in life (The 2015 Cadillac CTS being the first)

I only have 2 complaints about this car though they are very minor things:

1. I have the window switch pushed to the left (driver side). When Im in Reverse, only the passenger side mirror tilts downward. the Driver mirror never moves automatically. I find this a bit annoying because I like to park perfectly when Im driving into the city.

2. The Apple carplay isnt fullscreen. I tried disabling the split screen but after reading through this forum I found out that its the aspect ratio that causes this problem. Its not a major problem but it would look so perfect if it used the entire width of the screen.

Does anybody know if there is a fix for these 2 issues?

Other than that, Im obsessed with the car. I dont think I will be leaving BMW anytime soon
