What kind of front spoiler is that? I don't think I've seen those before. It's really nice.

It's a Maxton Design V2 frontspoiler.
They make 4 different versions for the F10/11
There are some better pic here.

New bumper installed! Waiting on Fog delete covers.

Unspec · 12-13-2020, 12:56 PM

Installed monoball bushings for the upper control arm. Have not yet had the chance to drive the car yet because the install required removing the front axle bolts to wiggle the axle around a bit, so I need a new bolt. RWD people won't run into this issue.

Installed new Paddle Shifters

there's a few places

i went to paddleshifterz.com

good quality...little pricey...

Used that DIY to get help on popping the airbag off...due to the way the clips are you have to insert the screw driver in the correct orientation. He does a good job of explaining that portion..

This is the install video showing the 2 t20 torx screws that hold the paddles. you pope the screw out and remove the pin and replace it with the new one.

i did it in the dark, using my phone flash light (shitty lighting in my garage) and i wanted to get it done

the modified shape/size does help specially when accelerating...as thats when i use them the most, when i'm accelerating onto an on ramp etc...

I don't take my car on a track or anything like that, but for my back road driving and high way on ramp acceleration it works great.

Don't bother with the flat head, as you mentioned it needs to be perpendicular to the bar in order to do anything. Use a hex allen key, I forget what size I use but it makes it wayyyyy easier and you don't run the risk of missing and puncturing something.

that was going to be my next try if the flat head didn't work but watching that first video helped...

Who knew that installing a new driver's side door pull was such a PITA? Hidden screw behind the top trim can screw itself

EDIT: so idiot me didn't see why there was another trim piece that was $10 more (///M tax), so I bought the cheaper one. The one I installed didn't want to clip in because it was missing an opening for the mirror fold/open button. (Circled in red).
So having to return today and wait for the correct trim to come in. Ughhhhhhhh

lasonje · 01-09-2021, 08:05 PM

Today I brought my car to the dealership to diagnose a cooling issue, and now it came back with no boost, waterpump staying on when the car is off, a bad alternator, and a million codes

JayBimmer83 · 01-15-2021, 04:24 PM

Installed 12.3 Android screen

Bounceme · 01-16-2021, 02:25 AM

Does it stand in front for the old screen?
Can you post a few pics taken from the side?

No you remove the old screen. There is a plastic piece that the screen attaches to and covers the hole where the old screen was. It's kinda hard to see from the photo.

AnotherM · 01-16-2021, 04:14 PM

Changed injectors, installed ngk two step plugs, and performance coils. All of which have a lifetime warranty!

Bmwfan55 · 01-16-2021, 04:18 PM

Does someone know how to adjust headlights on an f10? I do have adaptive lights, they do move left and right but the drivers side one is too high.
