This will definitely take all Fall and Winter longs as I plan on patching up any holes and reshooting the texture with my hopper. than a medium gray paint on the walls and ceiling. I will be spray painting a BMW logo somewhere on one of the walls








as far as the RaceDeck tiles I'm thinking the colors Alloy/Gray for the main with a Black outline?



and for the Garage Cabinets I was thinking of these preferably in Black


Looks good!!

Oh... I forgot...

Drive about 765 miles averaging 74.5mph and 30mpg. Not bad at all in my book! Even got to see (had to do this when wifey wasn't paying attention ) upper 90's a few times!

Did this on EcoPro. Tomorrow when we head to Arlington (fm El Paso) I'm going comfort and not caring about mpg.

Quoting myself!!!

Wasn't able to do the "test." Rain, traffic, construction and a headwind conspired to ruin my experiment. Oh well....

Yup! I was initially on the fence about it being too aggressive, but I found it a couple weeks ago for $54 shipped on Ebay.

I've only got this other pic for now, but I'll snap some more this week. I've been dreading taking pictures of my car because it looks ready to go offroading in stock suspension lol

love that wing because of it being aggressive. I have the 3d style spoiler but because I used BetaLink that pretty much keeps me from upgrading my spoilers since it's pretty much part of the trunk. I wish they had the PSM style carbon fiber tray already made because the authentic is like $900

So I love the PSM style wing posted above guys but my problem is I used Betalink when I installed my 3d style wing. Anyone have any tips as far as removing it or am I screwed? I really like the aggressiveness since my car already looks aggressive. Worst case scenario I can always have my body shop remove it than respray the trunk

so as part of the F10 garage upgrade got the new LED garage lights installed...total of 6 (2 in each bay) much better than the old school single light bulb outlet. also removed the standard halogen bulbs in the garage unit and replaced with the adaptor to hook up the led as well so that way when the garage door opens at night time it's well lit on either bay. with all 6 LED's on the garage is pretty damn bright as you can see!


for reference this is how dark it was with all 6 halogen bulbs used

Here it is. It was a small chip but too big for a fill.

ooh! That's pretty bad. Eventually that would have spidered if you left it alone. Is that OEM glass or aftermarket cause I know there was a post regarding some wavy issues across the shield on the aftermarkets

Its aftermarket but OEM spec. I replaced about a year ago because of a rock and never had any problems with it.
