Pointless photos and random places

What a view.

KL07RPH · 04-26-2021, 03:49 PM

Told myself enough was enough, so attempted to polish the swirls off the stupidly fragile B pillars. 2nd pic is after my first pass; total of 3 passes and a layer of Optimum Gloss Coat (which is awesome btw) should hold me over for now...

On the way to the top of Mount Lemmon.

I've only been up there one time in all the years I have lived in AZ. It was nice…I should get back over there sometime.

I live about 2 hours from Tucson. I got to drive over 300 miles round trip including the climb. I'm under 100 away from 1200... The drive was awesome, you should totally go back.

I finally got around to doing some visual mods and am super happy with the updated look of my carbon black M40i.
For me this is the perfect amount of cerium gray on carbon black, and I love how well the mirror covers and spoiler compliment each other

- 3D Designs front lip spoiler
- AutoTecknic M-Inspired Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
- IND Painted Side Vent (black)

How did the mirror covers fit? I've been eyeing these.

They are very easy to install if you have the proper pry tools. I started from the outside bottom edge working the tool in, and once the first clip pops it comes right off. You can use the new caps as a guide for where the clips are underneath.

The only problem I had was a super annoying whistle on the driver side initially, but its gone after re-installing with a bit more care to get all the clips seated correctly. If it returns I might put some thick tape or something on the inside edge to snug it up the seal but so far so good.

Pacifica, CA. Excuse the fact that it needs a wash & detail.

Anmolbains23 · 04-27-2021, 07:32 PM

@rem40i looks good man! Hopefully get to see that thing this weekend

Saw another M40i in the wild and immediately became jealous of their W edition license plate frame.

Snapped a quick photo the other day.

After a full detail and finally the weather is cooperating ...

Anmolbains23 · 05-01-2021, 06:44 PM

GT3 sandwich to go? 😂

dEvilJin · 05-02-2021, 07:45 PM

Decided to go for a drive in the new shoes! Little dusty up there, but she still looks good...

MidnightRiderM · 05-03-2021, 09:44 AM

Night cruising.

fdpxfunix · 05-06-2021, 11:55 AM

Random Business Park (near West Drayton / Heathrow England) just after picking her up last week (Fri 30th April).

Quite a difference to my 2010 18d X1!
