Installed ZHP Knob and RedlineGoods leather shift boot. Ended up having to take apart the stock boot anyway to reuse the trim ring, and had to cut tab holes in the redlinegoods boot to mount it to the ring. But other than that I'm pretty happy with everything. The ZHP knob is an improvement over the stock knob albeit a small one. Throws are only slightly shorter but the weight does help with the notchiness. I carried it over from my 135i where the improvement wasn't very noticeable since it came with the M Sport package shift knob which was already pretty short and weighted.

No. Dealer. I replaced the big pan and the small side pieces for around 350. Including a bunch of small clips and screws and new serpentine belts.

Installed 1x1 weave CF mirror caps! Matches the roof and diffuser perfectly. Too bad my front splitters are the only 2x2 CF on the car...

Dealer wanted me to pay 320 for the main piece and an extra 115 per side piece

From JBSpeed. They're full replacements, not overlays. Can't go wrong at $260 shipped! They arrived in Canada pretty quickly as well.

I'm 99% sure these are the same as the Autoteknic ones. I prefer these over OEM because they're 1x1 weave.

Yikes.

Time to find a new dealer. I was under 4 for everything I listed and they shipped it to my door.

Installed Lamin-X clear headlight cover film to protect my headlights from all the road debris and bugs that have been chipping them from highway driving. Had the car less than 2 months and the lenses already have scuffs and chips and even a few deep craters. The kit was $52 shipped and came with squeegee, spray bottle, and cutting knife. Really happy with how they came out, no cloudiness, bubbles, or wrinkles! Cant even tell they're on there

Plus 10 for LaminX (they have a website). I ordered yellow and love the protection and the look on a tracked car.

Yep bought direct from their site, there's also a coupon code on there for 10% off.

Yeah I was thinking they'll really be put to the test when I do my first track day, also now I won't have to blue painter tape my headlights like a noob.

I really like your garage and car; the restraint and execution are laudable.

Carry on.

Mine was a gift from my wife and is from Tire Rack. It is on lockable wheels, holds two sets and was about $300. They also sell a wall mountable version that would free up more floor space if yours is at a premium, but it only holds 4-5 tires depending on their size. It's about half the price. Both are really sturdy and well made. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...y=Tire+Storage
