Drove it for COVID testing

Also, alarm came in, and I've noticed my headliner is starting to droop behind the sun visors & the ultrasonic bump.

Wonder if I shouldn't go for a black headliner or stick with gray. Car is black/black, but with a gray headliner. Would probably want to go with synthetic suede as well, because why not?

Also, will do the Koni write up soon. It's been almost 1000 miles and I wanted some time for the setup to settle before writing a review.

Finally got round to getting the 320d remapped today (on the hottest day of the year!). Despite intake temperatures of over 40°C, it still managed an increase of 50bhp and 100ftlbs of torque. The tuner reckons if I were to come back on a cooler, more typically British day, I'd easily see a higher reading on the dyno.

The brake calipers were rusted. Looked terrible.
I took them off , cleaned them up with wire brush and gave them a coat of paint.

I like that they came out looking subtle and not too flashy

Did you get it from Rockauto? My E91 rear M sport bumper cover from Rockauto came ina huge box, with other boxes inside to protect the shape

Nope, I bought it from **********s and it should be painted today and ready to be installed Wednesday. I will post a picture when I'm finished.

We have to know know now, it's the Streisand Effect!!!

Upgraded from my stock 17" with runflats to new 313 18" rims with Michelin non-runflats. The difference is night and day in terms of ride quality.

18mm spacers on the back and 10mm on the front. Didn't want to go more aggressive than that. Nice minimal upgrade.

These rims are meant for the 1 series, but I went square setup with 4 rears.
Didn't want to go 19" because we don't have Autobahn quality streets.

Been busy today so firstly I got the both rear callipers changed even though it was only the o/s that was sticking I thought won't be long to other goes so 2 new genuine ones fitted for a good deal I got .

[LORDD]

I bought a second hand genuine performance gearknob and Alcantra gaitor it was very dirty and stained the gaitor so after some Googling I found a Alcantra cleaner I ordered from Amazon and a soft upholstery brush and cleaned it took few hours between drying over two days but looks like new plus did gearknob to. I'm chuffed

[LORDD]

One thing that was letting car down was the boot badge but long story short can only get genuine badge managed to get one that fits from Facebook seller. BUT both pins snapped off in boot after a brown trouser moment I got a small screw to screw into the plastic and tried to pull it out(right hand one )
It came out in bits kept doing bits at a time eventually the little bit remaining fell into boot . Did the left one it came out with one pull in one piece result especially as both grommets were not damage soooo much better . But not perfect fit but will do until I get a genuine one at a later date .

Finnally got rid of the crap I'll fitting mats and replaced with genuine oe ones
Finally after getting the car 3 weeks ago the maintenance is done couple of tasteful mods and brakes can Finnally drive it Tommoz .

Picked up my 2011 335i today. I had new R1 rotors, pads, sensors and brake flush service done. Also had the calipers sandblasted and painted. New M359 wheels and tires are coming in tomorrow. Leather re-dye scheduled for tomorrow and paint correction on Thursday. Getting close to having this project finished!

On a side note. I will be listing my BMW 189 wheels with near new tires for sale. If anyone is interested, let me know. They are 18" staggered with 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

Hey guys pardon my ignorance but I'm from Europe and seeing this post has reminded me that every car has a dial to aim the headlamps up or down. On the US market has anyone or does anyone know that if we retrofit the switch with the dial, would we be able to aim the headlamps up or down as well? I have the oem xenon headlights from factory, fiy.

All OEM xenons auto level, no dial needed!

They auto level according to load on the suspension however I’m saying if I’m driving down the road and feel like I need my headlamps to sim a bit higher without using the high beams, that dial would allow me to do so.

They'll also adjust to dips and peaks in the road as well!

Sounds like you may need to check your headlight alignment itself.

Also highly recommend coding in AHL2 to make full use of the adaptive xenons.

AHL2? can you give me more info? Also the headlights are fine, I'm just wondering if I can have full use of it since I can get a Euro switch for $30 that also has the dial. It's one of those things that if I could add it, it'd be pretty cool you know?
