Combined with fat tyres, I decided to go for it.

I'd agree it is not as an "aggressive" look as the arch filling 19s, but I personally prefer it. The plus is that on the road, the ride comfort is a noticeable improvement while grip levels, with Michelin PSS, is equal to the previous set. A win as far as I am concerned.

Well done and presented as usual Jon

Car is stunning!

Are you selling the wheels from page 1? - the 19s?

Great looking rims JJH - they and the bigger sidewall tyres really suit your car. Very impressive.

Here you go mate > https://www.amgaustralia.com/wheels/...2147-3207/ri-a. I have not used spacers or see the need for them ...

M3CRZY · 11-15-2017, 11:42 PM

Cheers ! Ok , yes they look perfect to me under the guards .

I've been frustrated that there is no one local to me that can do a CIC i-Drive retrofit for me. I will head to one of the Sydney installers for that at some point. However, just to get me going, I've done the controller and new console after I discovered this useful DIY here > https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=277690

Those of you pre-LCI owners still with CCC may not know that the CIC controller will still work with CCC provided you have updated firmware. The parts required are the controller itself (part no. 65-82-9-334-611) and a CIC console (for DCT part no. 51-16-7-903-963). Absolutely plug-and-play!!

MJBO · 09-12-2018, 04:20 AM

This explains why my mates E93 with CCC has the CIC controller! Must have been retrofitted at some point.

I haven't updated this thread for a while but had the chance to get a few photos today - thought I'd share!

Looks amazing still Jon, and a motorkhana day too to make even better. Good to see you are still leading the charge

Hi Steve, thanks mate. The front lip is the Aero Performance Front Lip from AP Motorsport in the US (1 X 1 carbon weave that matches the roof); the rear diffuser is a Metak from European Auto Source also in the US.

I like the look of LED interior lighting in my cars so decided to replace all 16 filament globes with them. I picked up a complete kit and systematically worked my way through the car - very happy with the results and how it looks. I also installed a set of Pedal Haus pedals and have their brushed black finish extended DCT paddles I need to fit soon.

Lastly, in went an AFE Stage 2 intake. Install was easy enough and who knows (or cares) if it actually helps performance as the induction noise itself is worth it. I just figured that the intake, together with the M3World catted/resonated X-pipe and BPM Stage 2 tune I am waiting for will help bump things along nicely.

What floor mats are those? Lovely interior!

Thanks mate! I wish I could assist with the mats - I bought them as part of a Aussie group buy on this forum. I do know that they are from a supplier in Germany.

I see a new group buy is under way here > https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1726645

Hi Jon, where in Canberra did you get your LCI tail lights coded?

Hi mate
I can't answer your question specifically but have a look at protool by bimmergeeks. A small investment upfront in tooling like this for your car will save you thousands in the long run

M3 hacker · 07-31-2020, 08:18 PM

Thanks mate... I’ll have a look at one.

If you're inclined to tinker have a look at his download page. You can get the BMW standard tools for nothing and a Dcan cable is 50 bucks. Either way if you can't find someone local; for remote coding these will likely be a requirement
