Like wise. I limit most stuff to OEM cosmetic bolt on mods and usually never touch the engine or the suspension of the car.

F10 was the 1st car that I actually put in an exhaust which of course is the OEM PE.

My car can be back to as delivered condition (minus the tints) in less than 1 hr.

I plan on getting a 2014+ car next. Hoping for a 650i GC xDrive. My 2011 was an impulse buy solely because it was still under CPO warranty through the end of the year. 2011s still under warranty are hard to find.

650i XDrive would be a beast with a tune!

It would be! The usual stuff (tune, exhaust, flush wheels, carbon fiber bits) would make it a fun daily car.

Rear Diffuser is finally in!. This took a few hours mainly because I had to take the rear bumper off completely and fasten the diffuser to bumper. Now to get the mufflers installed (hopefully this weekend)

Looks great! Is this an ebay diffuser? How's the fitment and what did you use to install it? Self-tapping screws?

Yes it is an eBay diffuser (I'll post the link when I get on the computer)
The fitment is okay, it wasn't perfect but I made it work. I had to take the bumper off and use screws to mount it but it worked in the end

I just ordered one that I'm having painted gloss black. Hopefully, it won't be too much of a hack job to make it fit. Any pointers?

That's why I purchased the stock piece to replace my gouged diffuser (that way when I bought it). It was only ~$94 delivered.

Did some coding and found out weather band doesn't work in the NBT !!

Changed HIFI to TOP HIFI. The difference seems to be amp output as the radio is louder with the old volume setting. I also think I coded the gear into the HUD.

Quoting myself..

Changing to TOP HIFI was a major fail. The PDC and Gong sound is waaaaaaaaaaaay too loud even on the lowest setting. There is also too much difference between settings on the radio volume. The HUD gear also didn't work. Maybe that's for manuals??

That's why I went with 35%. It is subtle.

Just take the rear bumper off and then install it. There is 5 screws on each side.

Mufflers are in!
