Cool. I like those little touches like the tow strap and the Euro split mirrors.

Funny you said that, cause I sold this off to Steve since I thought leather would be more appropriate for the build I was going for.

LOL i guess it would make sense if we were all local-ish. Though I bet it's like an extra $30 to ship down to M3ANMACHINE

BBS RE "GT4"s just look so period correct on this car. I love it even if it has weirdo offsets! As far as new things coming, combox retrofit is coming hopefully this weekend with a writeup.

You already know how I feel about those wheels but just here to publicly declare my love for them (except that silly offset)
Also, a BBK look killer behind those, just sayin' |

The Media rabbit hole This will be a long-winded post about the rabbit hole I started a while ago with the Kremersino Apple Car Play/Android Auto add-on module. TL;DR
#The long story August 2019, I bought a Kremersino ACP module that added wireless car play and android auto options to the factory CIC without adding a crazy android head unit. Unfortunately, the module I bought had no bass due Kremersino deciding to use cheaper parts when creating their PCB board. After talking to their sales/support guy Michael, he told me to send back my unit to get an updated version (version 2) with a revised PCB in October 2019. After finally receiving the warranty replacement unit, everything was working correctly and fine. I should've stopped here. When I saw that version 3 was announced to utilize OE mic and offer airplay options, I got ecstatic. I ended up purchasing impulsively to only find out OE mic is access with Bluetooth Audio. Somehow Kremersino was able to redirect Carplay audio to Bluetooth Audio and use the Bluetooth access to the OE Mic. This is great workaround and there was one problem: I did not have a combox. Instead of unbolting this new unit, I decided to retrofit the combox. #Combox Retrofit Combox retrofits were becoming more common and it looked like something I could tackle with my knowledge of BMW Tools. I figured I could have the hardware for under $300. With reversibility in mind, I bought adapters from Kufatec. I bought a set of antennas adapters, TCU/MULF to COMBOX adapter and MOST circuit bridge (loop). ##Parts list
## Installation Installation was pretty straight forward.
I did run into a few hiccups that aren't too major but worth mentioning. First, the Kufatec adapters did not have a notch in both the TCU/MULF adapters. I filed down the TCU/MULF plugs on the car harness side and went on my way. Not entirely happy I had to do this but it wasn't a major setback. Second, the black USB plug from the MULF did not allow me to face the combox like factory where the fiber was facing the front of the car. I had to flip it where the ANT plugs are facing the front of the car. Not a major issue just a note. ## Coding This is really where the fun happens. During my research, BMW updated the CIC to use certificates for authentication and required FSC codes for adding features to the CIC. I was a bit disappointed in that but luckily my car personally has CIC.C16A, the last version that didn't require FSC codes for BMW Apps. I figured why not add it! ### Workflow
##Verification I was able to see my Bluetooth audio setup and the name of the car's Bluetooth matched the last 5 digits of my VIN as it is supposed to. BMW app is also working with Spotify and the app even showed my car! The screenshot shows the gas all wrong but it did eventually work after a few miles were put on the car. ## Was this all worth it? Yes. Typically this would cost about $800 from Bimmerretrofit or similar vendor. For $220 and The original goal of having Apple Carplay work with OE mic is now working with Kremersino's module. It isn't fully consistent detecting Siri and switching over to Bluetooth audio is something Kremersino can fix in an update but overall its awesome! I want to thank FaxData for setting up a wonderful thread about what it takes to setup a combox in 2019. Thanks for reading. Exterior pic cause OEM+ looks great!

"Mini Cruise MLK day I met up wyatth and Johal E32 on Monday to do a little mini cruise. We ended up playing musical chairs as well. MR E90 6MT, Dinan Xpipe, Alpine Stage 2 Tune, OE Muffler AW E90 ZCP DCT, Brembo BBK, Eisenmann Exhaust AW E90 6MT, MCS 2WNR Coils, BBS, OEM Exhaust mod It was very interesting as each car had something "better" than the other in a different category. Jordan's catless car feels a lot peppier and makes me want test pipes! Wyatt's Brembos also makes me want brakes.. Anyways, here are some pics as well
