Great setup Alderu
Where did yo go for the exhaust ? I'm thing about a big Quad exhaust too but haven't find a brand like Remus for example who have it for the M40i.

Did you look into EPS in the Netherlands ?

Thanks Neighbor !
Sam

PS: I'm also thinking about leaving the tips stock but visit PWC in the UK (Make it a road trip)
There are some guy's on this forum that are very happy with the service and sounds improvement.

Marmugmotleocay · 02-20-2020, 05:40 PM

Mine was a less then 5 mph bump at a light on the rear bumper and it was $1900. The bumper was replaced.

Paint only at a non BMW shop....800-1200.

My award winning paint guy would do it for 300-500.

fricfracfrank · 02-23-2020, 06:18 PM

Washed. And an hour before the wash this happened so I HAD to correct it.

Wow looks like you did an outstanding job on that paint transfer. Any more serious damage to your paint? Really looks great from your pic.

Thanks. And Yes there was a bit more damage than just the paint transfer. It had a good amount of scratches below the paint transfer. Luckily I was able to get almost all defects out with a DA polisher some compound & polish.

Great job! What materials did you use to correct?

Oldguysrule · 02-23-2020, 09:14 PM

Nice job on the paint Frank. My favorite color!! Just took ownership of a 2018 in that shade. Texas car with 13K miles on it. Cleaned up nice after the trip up here on the transport rig. The white snow and bright sun really make the Phytonic Blue pop.

GGEVOX · 02-24-2020, 09:36 AM

Nice another Wi.

Love the blue so much.

Thanks. Harbor freight DA polisher; not the best entry level DA but for the price and frequency I'd be using it, it was a no brainer for time being.
Foam cutting pad & foam finishing pad. Meguire's compound & polish.

Thanks & congratulations. When cleaned it really is a great color. Love those wheels! Unfortunately NYC roads made the choice for me to go with 19's.

Got the ceramic coat installed!

corn18 · 02-24-2020, 05:17 PM

I bought an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch for the travel trailer my wife won't let me buy (yet). I might try to get her drunk this weekend and then go trailer shopping.

I installed the new clips replacement Autotecknic carbon fiber mirrors and their carbon fiber vent covers. Im also looking at buying their Red start button. Has anybody replaced theirs? I'm looking for some helpful tips. My M235i was easy this looks a little more involved.

Meet Moe. I picked him up at the PCD yesterday. The delivery experience was worth the wait.

J.Tilley · 02-25-2020, 04:43 PM

Just installed some Thule mounts and Aeroblades with a Thule Pulse carrier. Not gonna lie, it's a terrible way to spend $1k lol but it will definitely come in handy for the cross-country move that's coming up.

I don't know why but I love how our X3s look with a cargo carrier on top. Even with just the Aeroblades alone on top I loved the look of mine.

Oldguysrule · 02-25-2020, 06:32 PM

I agree - looks badazz with that carrier on there. Photon torpedo?

I replaced my start button. Took 60 seconds - literally. Easiest mod you can do.
