Bought back in December pretty bog standard.
I belive the colour is thunder Grey
Pretty Bog Standard, the previous owner had a go at dechroming but for some reason only done a 1/3 of the car so i dechromed everything that was left on the exterior and interior to gloss black. Next thing to get done was to add apple car play as it was speced with the bog standard 8" non touch screen. No nav and the bog standard I-Drive features.
Was a fairly easy job to be fair and decent value, still no touch screen but full carplay with google maps made a huge difference.
Previous owner never specd an armrest which houses a wireless charger and the USB on baord was not powered so added an aftermarket wireless charger which actually looks more OEM than some of the OEM parts!! ANd then the addition of the Carbon knob and alcantara gaitor.
Next was the wheels just a simple gloss back refurb and got rid of the diamond cut, cant decide on what aftermarkets i want but more than likely a job for the summer. Sits on 18" and the runflats really dont help what is already a very firm ride. Also not too happy with the wheel position 5-10mm spacer would improve the look for sure.
Next was the SPlitter and Skirts from Tripe R Composites
Put the splitter rods on (temporarily) cut them down and added 3M tape but didnt like them so removed couple of weeks later.
Then stuck some black carbon exhaust tips on which i actually really like the look off they will stay im sure even after the planned exhaust upgrade.
It was then time for some new rear tail lights, I went with the GP3 concept unit. pretty easy install with minimal coding via bimmercode.
A quick paint of the engine cover sees me done until the remap and still undecided if i go straight to stage 2 with some hardware upgrades or just the remap for now as the wife also drives it at the weekends.
