Sounds good, just had a blast driving around the WR area by myself.

How's the brightness? I need to replace mine and I was going to just get stock 4,300k color temperature. My Camry beater came with 5k and now I want that, but I don't want less brightness than stock tho.

The lights are defineltly brighter. Not a crazy difference but you will notice it. They are also whiter which is why I got them.

Just to give you an idea, watch this video !

Japan. Japanese people love white cars, its a sign of class and wealth sometimes also. Where I lived in Japan (Daikanyama) all the cars were white.

Yeah, euro spec bumper modded to be US 335i style. I've grown to like it

There are mainly two reasons: practicality and understatement. It's much easier to maintain than darker colors, so people prefer it. In addition, since lots of cars are white in JP, having a white car also doesn't stick out much which goes along with Japanese mentality.

As for showing luxury and wealth... black Lexus saloons/any dark colored imports are considered to be "high" class because they are usually driven by politicians or CEOs.

Replaced the tab on the left vent as DIYed here:

Purchased the aftermarket tab itself here:

https://www.venttabs.com/vent-tab-bm...2013-3-series/

The price was $12 shipped + 5-minute installation, as opposed to $65 + half-hour installation for the entire vent unit. Looks and works totally stock.

ItsGary · 03-14-2018, 12:04 PM

I think it rained dirt last night. My cars all dirty lol

AggieZig · 03-14-2018, 10:45 PM

Today I tore apart everything on top of the engine to get to (and replace) the starter after my M3 refused to start last week. Once I had everything out of the way to take the starter out, I noticed BOTH of the main starter mount bolts were completely missing from the car and the top "pin" bolt was only finger tight. Not only that, the two transmission mount / bell-housing bolts that can be seen looking down were so loose that they backed out far enough I could see exposed threads.

The PO had the clutch replaced about 1800 miles ago before I bought the car. Clearly the shop he took it to did an absolute half-a$$, borderline dangerous job. I don't know if I should be pissed or amazed.

slowm3sedan · 03-15-2018, 02:16 PM

Upgraded my shifter. I love it, but it was a pain in the ass to get the base back on.

I need this. It is on my list to do along with an AutoSolutions short shift kit.

Looks good!

That's my next move! I was going to buy them both together, but I wanted to see the height of the shifter before I customized it with Ronald. Pair that kit with ultimate clutch pedal and I'll be set.

Took delivery of this season's street rubber. Decided to change up the wheels from my previous ZCPs. Hoping to put things back together soon

Still have to install KW V3s

Yes....what a pain they are. They've been at the wheel shop for 5 weeks. They can't get the finish right!

Uneven finish with raw metal showing through

The OE finish had seen better days when I bought them off the previous owner.

I am hoping third time is a charm and that I get them back next week.
