JB4 + Flex Fuel connector fitted and running on map 5! Noticing what feels like fairly impressive gains after she warms up a bit. Nothing too drastic, but definitely feeling punchier. Quite impressed 
Hopefully its not all in my head :tiptoe:
Now to focus on her looks. Rear spoiler and diffuser are on the top of the list.
Im contemplating whether to get an M3 replica bumper or just the M performance front lip. I like them both to be honest! the M3 bumper makes it look more unique though, albeit at a higher price point. and then id most certainly get the whole vehicle liquid-wrapped because it comes in a different color. Or I go for the cheaper option and just get the front lip an no wrap.

with the replica bumper, does it have openings for the front foglights or are you going to do a delete? Looking forward to the coming updates.LukeHawk said:JB4 + Flex Fuel connector fitted and running on map 5! Noticing what feels like fairly impressive gains after she warms up a bit.

Depends on whether or not the replica comes with holes for foglights. Some do, some don't. I prefer without though, so I would just tape over the bulbs, and tuck/secure them out of the way and never turn them on

Painted calipers look good.. :coolShake: Did you paint over the BMW insignia on rear caliper? Believe the fronts don't have them.
I want gold calipers, but that would be such a PITA to keep clean! :smashScreen:

So! Another update. Not that this thread interests many :crazylaugh: but it makes me happy.
I decided to wrap my interior brushed steel trims in carbon fibre. The result... Better than expected! Didn't take too long either. If I was to do it again, I'd use a better quality vinyl. But this does the trick quite well for now, no complaints. I just wonder if it will last without getting gross. Luckily it's all easily reversible.

Good job, interesting look indeed! :clapper::coolShake:
You are brave, I must remove the SO's hairdryer like that and use it for purposes such as these, might be my last :fencelook:
