MLee4984: 2014 Citrin Black F10 M5

Flying Ace · 03-01-2018, 04:19 PM

looking good! BTW, those tires look okay to me. It just shows that the car (or the tires at least) has been driven pretty hard and the tires went through a heat cycle. Nothing to write home about. Tread level wise, looks like you got another 1/32nds or so left.

I recently also coded the PSI pressure and temp on my car too, it's an awesome feature. I wonder why BMW never defaulted it this way. Have you check its accuracy?

Great update!! Nice job... car is looking great!

Flying Ace · 03-01-2018, 04:36 PM

Also, do you have a write up for the FRM DIY?

It just literally pop off cover and take off Torx screws. If I can do it, anyone can!

thanks. I meant, do you have the DIY to do the full rear fog mod? I'm aware you have to punch some pin on the FRM, but I don't know the full process.

I presume there's something written about it in the F10 area of bimmerpost? Thank in advance.

I bought this unit used on M5post.
You just replace it with this unit, that's it. Our cars are pre-wired for rear fogs. No splicing, nothing needed, just plug and plaly.

oh got it. I heard around 2014, BMW got rid of the FRM in all cars. That's why I was confused your original post said you did something to the FRM and hence why I asked the question. Anyways, I can't find the part that fits a F06...weird...it says it fits the M6 just not the GC.

You're good.
I think the 6 series should also be pre wired. The confusion is the switch is good for many cars including 6 series, M6 coupes and convertibles and confusingly all Gran coupes we're left off the list (M6, 650, 640).

Nelson@BimmerTech · 03-03-2018, 02:27 PM

Nice work! I have the exact color combo. M6 GC Citrin black with Amaro brown!

Flying Ace · 03-04-2018, 11:43 AM

Is this car what you replaced your old X5 with?

Hey man, I'll buy your X5's all season mats. Lol, thought I'd have a better shot reaching you here. Lol. Can you box it up and ship?

Herofmine · 03-04-2018, 01:54 PM

@mlee4984
Hey man i have 345 M wheels with winter tires. If you want.

If you looking to sell your mufflers in the near future shoot me a pm.

IND-Distribution · 03-05-2018, 09:36 AM

That combination is downright STUNNING. Kudos for all the DIY work as well. I can't wait to see it with the KW HAS kit installed!

Ickdeep · 03-05-2018, 03:30 PM

Awesome build!

I'm debating getting that coding app for my F10 too.

Nice! At first I didn't like it, kept calling it Poop Brown but when it's all cleaned up, it's more of an adult color which I'm growing to love.

Hey, if you take care of shipping and packing, I don't mind.

I'm sticking with the 19s for now, cheaper tires and softer ride.

**EDIT** Sorry, I read 343, send some pix of the 345.

Just storing the Ducky for a buddy of mine. I have access to use it any time but I haven't used it at all. Scared to wreck it since it's not mine.

Thanks! I'll probably contact you guys to get the color matched reflector kits soon.

Do it, it's cheaper than asking someone to code for you.
