Thank you! Yes I am definitely happy with it. One of the things I wanted for my 14 but never pulled the trigger. Very glad I did with this one. The sound especially with ASD disabled is perfect IMHO

Glad I went paint match on the side vents this time around. Kinda regretting not getting the center gloss black but like the overall look. I may take them apart and spray the matte center to gloss myself. Tint tomorrow!!

Which method did you choose for the Radar HW install?

Sunroof Tap
Mirror Tap
Add-a-Fuse

I am debating on the best method for me. I will need to hardwire a detector as well as a dash cam. The dash cam has an annoying box in-line that I dont think will fit up in the upper console area.

None of the above lol. I tapped into the hot and ground wire for the power outlet between the cup holders. It was the most convenient once I removed the console cover. I had originally bought a fuse tap but didn't want to run back to the glove box and made the most sense to use the power outlet since it was right there. (I did a thread on this if you run a search) On my 14 M5 I tapped into the sunroof but wasn't using the smart cord like I did with this one.

Lol Thank you!

Spacers delivered today installing them tomorrow morning. Went with 10mm all around but may increase to 12 in rear depending on if I get the desired result but from what I've seen 10 should be perfect with the 601s.

New hat today as well only fitted ///M hat I have found.....also need to replenish the beer fridge before starting tomorrow lol

I got them from IND distribution but they are not black the chrome portion is painted Singapore gray. They have paint match and black as well but would recommend just wrapping them yourself or having it done of you want black it's much less expensive. That is what I did on my AW 14 M5. The local shop was going to wrap my handle chrome and side vents for $100

I can't do the paint match it looks to much like the car that has an option for fog lights and you didn't check the box or that blank interior piece where a switch is supposed to be lol. I like how the clear matches the headlights as well.

Will do I'll take some pics of install as well as after

[Mbdurham17]

Exactly what I was looking for

This will be a dumb question; what do the spacers do? Push the wheels out? Is it cosmetic only? Beautiful car; I have the exact build with the IND side markers (which I love) and the updated exhaust. Mine is black
