Purchased bimmercode, coded tpms psi and temp. Also got trunk to close with footwell button and key fob. Next is folding mirrors on lock.

Edit: Can't seem to get the PSI + Tire temp to register it just stays blank even though I have S2VBA, then again my car came with different wheels when I purchased it. May have aftermarket tpms sensors, but it shows when they go low. Not finding a answer on google.

Dipped the diffuser, until i decide which one i want to buy.
Dipped emblem, but probably going to remove it completely.
Changed the reflectors in the front...
Also ive only had it for a week, so big things coming soon!

I'm thinking about doing that. Dental floss, hair dryer and Goo be Gone?

Will work perfectly fine, I used fishing string, heat gun and lacquer thinner.

Painted that chrome trim piece around the console button black. IMHO, looks so much better than the chrome.

Installed the G-Plus Intercooler. Took 3.5 hours, ugh.

Yup, the eBay one. Easier to post in DIY thread for those interested later!

Any info on actual benefits, gains, etc?

Raised her 1" due to my car too low for the service racks at BMW I love my KW's since adjusting them literally took about 30 min. The rears you don't have to remove the tires as the coilovers are easily accessible. Dropping her off first thing in the morning. Lol I'm really bothered looking at that huge gap

[lsturbointeg]

Now that she's been adjusted time for wash and detail. Who's got a detail cart?

Question...my car is at the dealer for the oil change and the SA advised me my Service Check is past due. I ask what it includes and he stated it just checks the whole status of the vehicle. Cost is $243. He said this has nothing to do with plugs, fluids or any sort of maintenance other than to scan the vehicle. Anyone think this is crazy? Anyone see it differently and highly recommend this needs to be done?

Seems high for just a scan, I would say no thanks.

Just picked up the car and he gave me a list of things that need to be done now or soon

$148 Brake flush
$400 fuel injection service
$400 rear differential fluid change
$207 in cabin micro filter
$500 transmission flush

And again $243 for the vehicle scan

I may go back to my Indy shop for all these items. Surprisingly he told me I only put 4k miles in the cat since the last oil change last year

The vehicle scan sounds like performing an update to your DME and I-Drive. I would only do this if I was having an issue or your flash tune needed a newer version.

A scan to see if there are any codes should be included in their normal inspection.

This is how I would handle it:

Do the brake flush and trans flush/filter replacement at a BMW indy just because it is messy and a lot easier on a lift.
Rear diff change is a drain and fill and could be done a lot cheaper yourself. Cabin filter is also very easy.
I would not do the fuel injection service unless there is a reason to (misfire, other issues). If there is no reason, this is a service mechanics like to up charge for but is not really needed IMO.
