Received my Veepeak bluetooth OBD adapter today from Amazon and purchased the Bimmercode app. Coding the CIC and comfort features I wanted has never been so easy.

Wanted to keep the exhaust quite for now (till engine mods begin) but wanted to change up the look and had these quad tips installed.

Busy week at work and no time to have my other mods installed but found these little trim pieces that go around the steering wheel buttons. For the price, I thought I would try them out and they fit great. Sort of completes the unfinished look that BMW designed for the steering wheel IMO.

DUDE, thanks for the tip on that! I ordered a Veepeak today from Amazon and even found a 20% coupon code on the bimmercodeapp.com website.

Looking so forward to making a few tweaks like air pressure on TPMS screen, M-Sport screen, and hoping to turn off alarm beep on unlock.

installed it myself at a friends shop (easy to do)

As for the rear bumper, I purchased the vehicle and the previous owner already had the bumper installed.

That's exactly the same features I was after. Found some other things that come in handy as well and even helped out a buddy with his F30 too.

Thanks to my buddy who owns and opened the shop for me today, we got the H&R Sport springs installed in under 3 hours. (drinks and chip break included) Slight 1" drop but makes the car look & feel sportier.

Another small update. Had a couple of spots around the interior that were fading. Found a great product called Colourlock and it is mixed to BMW spec. Color is spot on and leather looks like new again.

Some before and after shots of the left front door handle.

Finally had time this morning to install M-sport front bumper. Aftermarket brand but fitment was decent. Had to re-drill new holes at the bottom to meet undercover and grill placement was a bit tedious but rest was all good.

Probably not for everyone but finished installing all the aluminum look trim pieces on the dash. IMO gives it a little bit more finished look and breaks up the boring black. Sort of brings the outside trim and inside trim together.

I actually ordered the bigger bottle from here because I had to do multiple spots on doors and seat bottoms. It was way more than needed though as I probably only used a third of the bottle for multiple coats. At least got extra for any touch ups required later on.
