If they are the "Real" clip on covers, they simply pull off from the front. I used just my hands a a little bit of pressure. A trim tool can come in handy if they are really on there good. If they are the stick on ones, I would suggest a heat gun. My mirrors are not 100% M3 because I do not have the base. I do not mind, because I am less than $200 into them. If they are the actual covers, I might be interested in them! |

If you do buy new covers to have painted and choose to sell these carbon ones, just be EXTREMELY careful removing the covers as the clips are a fragile plastic on the backside so I'd be really afraid of breaking some of them off. If anything I'd try and pop the actual mirror glass off first to inspect how abouts to go removing the covers. The mirror glass pops off fairly easily with some persuasion. That may make it easier for you as the clips on the covers, had two sides to each one, that "sandwiched" all of the mirror housing tabs to secure the cover to the actual housings(hopefully that makes sense). It's funny because when I installed the carbon covers, once they snapped in place I thought to myself, "yep those are never going to come off without breaking" I will probably start looking at 1M/M3 covers. If I find some and get them painted...and get these pulled without any damage, I will get in contact with you before doing anything with them in case you still may interested before doing anything else with them!

I parked my baby so I could drive an M5 Comp, M2 Comp and M340 at an M Town event. I got to drive two of my dream cars in one day!! For today at least, life was perfect.

It's funny because someone bought the expensive BMW carbon covers and stated "Wtf someone could just pop these $800 covers off" haha. |

Been a while since I posted here. I've done a bunch of work to the car. Luckily, most of it has been for fun...my turbos tho, they're on their last legs. Won't be long now before that job needs to be done.
Anyway, semi-recently has been this list: Apex Arc-8 17x9 square setup installed. Fantastic feel on and off the track. I want so badly to run them as my dailies... Finally got a little bit more serious with my track days and picked up a set of Hawk Blues. What an amazing difference. Along with that, went with a set of Posi-Quiets for the street. That's very interesting...very little dust but the initial bite is so weak that it seemed like there was no brake pressure. I've gotten used to it but it's a strange shift. Saw another forum member on here post pictures of their interior where they had put a red accent line along the trim. I really liked it so I picked up a couple of versions of the product online from Amazon and found one I really think is perfect. Love the look now. I went through a cosmetic phase here. Was trying to do something a bit unique with the front end. Using the stock LCI E90 front bumper I added the carbon fiber splitters and then attached a carbon fiber lip underneath the splitters. It gave the car a very aggressive look. But, I live in the automotive shit-box that is Minnesota and in the end some bad luck (and perhaps rushed installation) the lip did not last. Pics from test fitting... So, I am going with the "over-done but that's because it works so damn well" M-Sport front bumper and a Seibon carbon fiber lip, Arkym style.

I figured I would make a bit of a formal introduction post, I joined the BMW ranks about two months ago with this here E90 LCI 335i xdrive 6MT. It didn't stay bone stock very long, but mostly aesthetic stuff so far, trying my best to keep my hands out of the engine bay until the extended warranty is up. A little before / current state.

How much did it run you and were the parts easily accessible?

Also +1 on the ARC 8's. I don't track my car and daily drive it, but they are a great looking light wheel that set everything off.

The Service Engine Soon light popped on last week on my 328i x-drive E91 with 131k miles. Codes indicated the upstream oxygen sensors so replaced them. Got it done last night late so only cleared the codes and have not gone for a drive yet to see if codes won't reappear. Planning to do the transmission service today - full service, dropping pan and replacing filter. Hope it is not too much of a mess.

Installed PIAA 2500K fog bulbs and coded to run with DRL via Carly. Fog lenses need a polish or replacement, may get yellow vinyled at some point. Yes the current cheap eBay junk grilles are discolouring, will be replaced with proper ones soon.
Also installed new OEM matte black lower front window trim pieces on both sides. Removing the inner door panel and mirror went smoothly. The existing trim pieces are easy and FUN to remove when you have brand new OEM parts ready to install... good riddance!!! This completed my trim conversion from chrome to matte black. Ended up being an expensive process but the result is good. New OEM matte lower front/rear trim from the dealer (328 part #s, pricey for the set but worth it) and upper curved section wrapped by a local vinyl shop.

Where to find butterfly exhaust valve switch ?
So , im extremely new to this forum , but I have a question that's really been daunting me . Maybe someone can help . Own a 2011 BMW 328I Xdrive , still haven't figured out the chassis codename yet , which makes this task even further diff , but I hear you can disconnect a butterfly exhaust valve switch located in the rear trunk , driver side , pocket wall ? Ive looked several times high and low can't find switch to unplug , aside from tail light switch Any help , is this even possible on my model or do I need to just replace exhaust ? Would like to gradually start building my baby into the " Ultimate Machine " !!?? Sorry , if Im not posting in correct side of forum . Thanks in advance !
