Quite a productive evening!! Finally put on the replica trunk spoiler as well as coded a few things with iCarly like Sports Display, Volume, Tire Pressure and Trunk Close with FOB.

Getting a smog and state inspection done, then washing it to black out my door trim and the side indicator trim. Hopefully that'll be the last of the chrome on the vehicle!

Next weekend is red calipers and coilovers

Got the passenger side done (the new socket arrived). I pulled the wheel off and tried to turn the socket some more; it wouldn't budge. I was able to easily pop the socket out so I believe the socket only turns about 1/8 turn.

This is one of the easiest jobs I think I've done; including coding!

I hear ya! Bought mine from a fellow member who bought it from CNAutofans who never got a chance to put it on. Think I paid$150 for it? Fitment was good but the install sucked ball$ as I had to use scews to hold the tabs from pulling through. But it really looks good and it's pretty solid and not flimsy at all.

I got the same one. I got an install video that requires me to take the bumper off which I really don't feel like doing. I'm going to try doing it this weekend.

I want to get my coilovers installed, but I don't want to do them myself (I am not mechanically inclined at all... aside from fluid changes lol), but I also don't want to pay $1,250 for the job. I've gotten quotes from 3 different BMW shops in the area with that amount.

A shop in anaheim wanted $500. Honestly might be considering another roadtrip to LA if it means saving $700+ Lol

If it's the same one you'll need to drill holes in the diffuser tabs to keep the diffuser from popping back out if it's just like mine. Since I had my MSPORT rear bumper not on the car I felt it was easier to install the diffuser because I had to mark where to drill on the tabs as there's not much to work with.

It's like 4 screws per side, very easy. If you have 2 people it will take a half hour at most to remove the rear bumper. 3 wheel well screws and 1 by the rear taillight.

Wrapped the door handle trim and blacked out the side marker trim. Also took the badges off, so no more chrome at all!

Yes... I did it. It may or may not work depending on the TPMS sensors. I had to get new sensors to get the display. There's a thread here somewhere...

Hmmm, I'm using the stock ones. I'll do a bit of digging. Let me know if you have more info on that!
