Installed illuminated gear stick. No longer have the car (E90 330d) but I liked that mod.

Painted the silver inner drum on my brake rotors black to eliminate the possibility of rust. Looks super clean and will be doing this on all my rotors from now on (unless I just buy ones that have already been painted)

I replaced the ring(s) around my START/STOP button with a pre-LCI ring after the LCI one I originally had was peeling. Also sprayed it with black plasti-dip, I think it looks really good and matches the interior well. Very close finish to the other plastic bits in the interior.

It's extremely lightweight.

I love all the "BMW Performance" products that came out with the E90, just wish they were easier to fine. I would love that strut brace, paired with the carbon bits from the Performance intake. I also think it's really nice it's not "M Performance" like pretty much all the new stuff is. I find all the M badge dilution abhorrent to be honest.

the 2010+ Storage compartment instead of the ash tray. God damn do I use that more than I thought.
Also getting the side reflectors shaved when I repainted the bumper. Just that much cleaner |

Open tray or sunglasses tray? I opted for the sunglasses tray (every car needs a change compartment). Attempted to do the "lighted sunglasses tray diy) and it never lit up. Potentially a fuse

Just the open tray. Being able to close it would have been nice but the open one is the perfect place for a phone. So that's where it goes

Debadged, and fitted "4D" plates. Subtle little things make all the difference!

Painted the lower mesh on the front bumper black. It just looked weird having a grey mesh lower with black kidney grilles.
