My car told me my left rear tire has low wheel pressure. Does it have a pressure monitor? Because these are not the factory wheels.. I always thought TPMS was inside the tires?!?

There are no TPMS for our F10 in HK. That's why you don't see any details regarding the precise tire pressure for each tires in the I-drive. Our cars only has sensors monitoring the lost of pressure but no specific.

If only one of your tires has low pressure, there may be something wrong with it. Better check for any puncture or bad mounting.

BMW probably will need to schedule to wash your car before hand, schedule an inspection on the paint, schedule staff to unpack the spoiler, schedule the physical install of the spoiler, and wait overnight for the glue to dry completely, and maybe a test drive

Each takes a day

Welcome hugocom. Not sure about avant garde in HK. Only know you can order from US vendors.

See if I can sneak out on the 4th. May be tight up by wifey.

Kid and jxnco bros. I really hope they figured out how to do it right. So I can bring mine back to fix. I left the front bumper un-detailied and un-waxed so that I can do it after the fix. hehe.

Some of you know what I do for living and I have to go to construction site. Now I don't go everyday but every now and then I have to. That's why in the beginning I hesitated to have the large rims and low profile tires.

Today I have to drive to one of the construction sites and bad thing happens. I was not familiar with the roads there and drove into the a site entrance by mistake which are for trucks. There is a concrete speed bump there and when I drove over I heard loud scraping noises. Tried to back up but scraped again so I have no choice but to drive forward. I got out of the car and the entrance security lady told me that I made the wrong entry. No way out I have to drive backward and scraped again. I almost got hung up in the middle of the speed bump where I have to press the gas pedal more to get through.

When I inspected the damages I found the 4 to 5 deep scratches to my bottom protective cover. One of them is even cracked and through the inside. Luckily nothing inside is damaged. My 2 side skirts are also scratched quite deep but at the under portions so won't be noticed unless I run my fingers under. For the 3D front lip, it was scratched a little at the lowest 2 parts since it is quite flexible and could be pushed up with little force. Again can not be seen unless I run my fingers under.

Talk about bad luck, mlai, I am not much better than you.

Lesson learned is the front lip won't scrap easily. Even the bottom and side skirts scraped badly, only minimal scratch to the lip.

That's right bro. But I am no. 2 on the list. Bad luck list that is.

Funny thing is I just finished detailing my car. Scratches, chips, and swrils free for one day. Now my bottom is a scar face.

I was supposed to go to the site office but went to the work site by mistake. No ice cream cones and traffic direct guy, bro. I think I was blind and meant to scrap the bottom by destiny.
