Looks great! I have to do one as well. I did my KW HAS after you, I may as well do this now

The mperformance center diffuser is the perfect compliment to the center rkp lip. Symmetrical front and rear. You should definitely pull the trigger. Hurry though as oem mperformance cf parts are slowly becoming NLA. The oem cf interior trim kit is already NLA.

Haha! There you go man. I think it fills that gap back there very nicely. I found BMWPartsPros.com has the best price. Ask for Brittany. She posts on our forum too.

What is the white covering you have pressure sprayed onto your car,I'm guessing it's some kind of stronger than normal shampoo with polish formula.
Thanks.

Hey bud, I use chemical guys honey dew car wash. I first rinse my car with my power washer, foam it and let it sit for 5 mine, power wash again to rinse, then foam the car again. I then use two bucket method with the same stuff. Wash mit in clean bucket with honey dew and a rinse bucket. Then go over the car with the wash kit rinsing in the water only bucket. I know it's over kill but just the way I do it. I don't drive the car much so don't need to wash too often.

On mine after I carnauba waxed it, which takes a bit more effort than normal wax, there's an old chauffeurs trick of just using water to wash the vehicle as car wash liquid takes the wax off.

I wax like every few washes. I also forgot, I use V07 from chemical guys also as a drying aid which is a sealer. My paint is in very good shape using this method. Next season she goes to my retailer for paint correction and ceramic coating the entire car.

That's very thorough and I guess the ceramic coating is a transparent film that's similar but much tougher than a wax coat.

Yes, its like a thin layer of glass over the entire car. I also have clear PPF film all over my car. My wheels now are all ceramic coated.

M5Rick · 10-23-2018, 06:50 AM

PPF is some kind of transparent plastic body covering to protect from stone chips etc?

Here are a couple pics to show the difference between the 9 front and 10.5 rear. My PS4S's get here next week so ill post pics once installed.

Replaced batteries in both (non comfort entry) remote controls.Replacing one is not enough to remove warning on dash as the other one pushed into service had a weak batt also and now warning gone.
Batteries are bigger than normal CR2450.
