Quick iPhone shot of the H&R springs/spacers, IND painted side markers and LCI gloss black grill.

Just installed a used Turner exhaust I bought from a forum member and I'll be installing the Turner tune asap.

Most likely an OEM type of diffuser and 21" gunmetal wheels. After the tune, I don't think I want to gamble and get more bolt ons that'll void my warranty.

here's mine..one was a few days ago - didnt have the IND painted reflectors yet and the black side grill and door handles

[tec333]

i gotta lower it... will get the kw v3's soon...stock height rn with 12mm spacers

after that going to wait a while for exhaust and intake and maybe downpipe and tune...but probably months away from that. Maybe get some matte bronze wheels first

Very nice! Great plans. Keep me updated. Where are you located?

[tec333]

I'm in Diamond Bar/Walnut area...yeah definitely keep u posted. Kinda cool coz we started same time...would like to see ur car finished as well.

Feels weird too that I've driven ur car haha.

I think I'm gonna stick with 20's on wheels but we shall see.

here's a crappy pic but it shows the single slot black grill with the M stripes that I got from one of the members here...i didn't like it at first but i think its coz i still had the yellow reflector that was throwing me off haha.

i might eventually do the dual slot grill, but im thinking i want the carbon front and side grills...but the gloss black front/side grills will do for now.

Also a shot of the rear diffuser, its stock shape but CF. Just need that black M5 logo, exhaust and maybe a CF trunk spoiler and the back is done (oh maybe get black license plate too).

btw How is that exhaust u put in?

Man you're moving fast! Yeah I live in Chino Hills. If you go with the gloss grill, I ordered the LCI grill from getbmwparts

You running 12mm on front and back in those pictures?

[tec333]

Yes 12 all around

today I put in an alexa dot in the car for my music and home automation.

I will probably still hit the button opening and closing the garage...but when I get a text reminder that I left it open when my phone leaves the geo fence...then I can close the garage over voice command

I can also turn the AC and lights on in the house before I get home

That's so hi-tech! How much did that cost to set up?

[tec333]

The Echo Dot is $100 but I think it was only offered for sale by Amazon to people who have and bought the Echo ($179). The Belkin WeMo maker is $80...

(I see people jacking up the price of the Echo Dot to about $180 on ebay, so maybe you dont have to buy the bigger echo.)

[ratedpg909]

RW carbon diffuser installed

[ratedpg909]

RW carbon lip slapped on too

[tec333]
