looks good man!

44 degrees and you braved the weather to wash the car. it has been in the 60's here this week, and i don't wanna wash the car LOL...

Which chemical guys soap did u use? check out the car pro reset, its expensive, but its a good soap to use once a year, the foam sticks REALLY well....and can be helpful when the car is filthy and you want to remove as much crap as possible without having to use a wash mitt.

it's been pretty cold here...like 6 - 19 degrees so everything's frozen. even the local car washes were closed for weeks. i was able to turn my water on for the faucets outside to hook up my garden hose to the power wash when the temperature got up to the 40's so i took advantage of that before temps dropped again. i use Maxi Suds II from CG. I'll check out that CarPro reset and see what that's all about

Fastest upgrade I've done yet!

Nice just ordered mine from mod bargain but like your allot better. How mucha dm where?? Also does it let ambient interior lighting shine through because I ordered a cheap One from eBay and it looked like crap. Don’t know about you but I like all mods to have an oem look

Just so there's no confusion, I merely bought the RED COVER that you see.

Got it off Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The fitment is great. I forget what color the LED within the button mechanism itself lights up as on the stock cover, but on this red cover it shows up slightly reddish.

It doesn't bother me. I really like how it looks now.

UnMpressD · 02-01-2018, 01:53 PM

Nice...got to get me one of those! Any difference in "seat-of-the-pants" feel as far as performance gains?

I've been considering doing the yellow fog and black roof on my silver 550i. Couldn't find anyone for example. This look nice. Can you post more pics like from the front and up high?

BuiltnBoostedZ · 02-04-2018, 12:00 PM

I'm going all white on my bulbs up front. Not into the white/yellow.

benacto · 02-04-2018, 12:19 PM

Puff of white smoke... CEL came on.... hobbled backed home and sent it to dealership. Think the Fuel pump just died.

57K. got the car back. had multiple leaking injectors. BMW replaced all 8 injectors and spark plugs at no charge.

Techgeek80s · 02-09-2018, 09:43 AM

i have the same issue on my 2014 550i at 27k miles, and same fix. yet they only did 1/2 the injectors, at that time (in august) car was still under warranty.

I got a letter last week stating that BMW has extended coverage for the injectors and related components that fail along with them.

May want to check your mail for that...

yeah this is the second time. the first time at about 45K, misfire in cylinder 3 and 7. They replace just the spark plugs and coil pack of those 2 cylinders back then.

I did get that letter about the injectors. Probably why they replaced all 8. I also got another letter a month before that saying extended coverage for the high pressure fuel pump.
