Once you get this working, be sure to market it more on this forum! Lots of people, I am sure, are looking for this solution.

It is working! And works well! It took a few mins to set up but once the Bluetooth was connected this turns out to be a prefect solution and exactly what I was looking for! No more wires or aux cables ordeal with! In addition if you are not a fan of iPods or iPhones you can use Bluetooth enabled android as well! It's a great choice for everything I need!

Paid $70 for tire repair kit and heavy duty tire pump air compressor kit to keep in my trunk for emergencies, since I don't have runflats anymore.

Taped my new microphone to my rear bumper and took it for a drive to record the sound of the exhaust while driving. Will have to fine tune it this weekend!

Those seats are sexy as hell. Are they comfortable for tall people? I find the fixed headrests are often quite low...

The seats are comfortable for tall people... I'm not short, 6'0... I guess there's room for someone who's 6'2, maybe 6'3.

Finally tackled the shifter/ash tray trim. Interior is almost done. Just need to finish the steering wheel and figure out how to retrofit m3 DCT paddles onto the 135i DCT.

850tgul · 09-26-2015, 01:04 PM

Well, over the past few weeks or so I picked up a genuine carbon interior trim set, wrapped my idrive, stereo, and heater/AC trim in Alcantara, and installed a BMW PE. Frickin' love this car.

Installed Ultimate Clutch Pedal. Sits lower and no more slop or play in the pedal, unfortunately clutch engagement point is still the same high up in the travel but I was told that before purchasing. Still need more drive with it before I can really judge if it was worth the money. Pic below showing how low it sits without the rubber pad.

Full body Optimum No Rinse.

After two weeks, the Nanoskin Scrub and Powerlock are still holding up.

Matticus91 · 09-28-2015, 08:20 AM

Took it to a winery and got it dirty

DuckCoverRoll · 09-28-2015, 06:01 PM

Taking advantage of our last days of summer, I thought one more detail wouldn't hurt :-)

jdlivxx · 09-29-2015, 02:38 AM

Paid $480 for a new battery. I did not really have any choice. choice. My car had to be towed to the dealer. It took a few tries jump starting it, and barely got it into neutral before it died again.

I had the same issue... South Bay BMW charged me over $600 for my battery, even though the car was under warranty.

I filed a complaint with the local news station (KNBC-4) and they helped me get all of my money back.

DCT? There is a special mechanical way to get the car into neutral without the battery.

tjswarbrick · 09-29-2015, 11:19 AM

Well, Technically it was Sunday - but I finally installed my ZHP knob.
That, coupled with the BMS clutches top and CDV-DELETE, turned hitting every red light from "Oh, when am I going to get there?" to "Awesome! Here we go again!"

Also got some low-profile knobs to screw onto the hardware I used to secure the floor mats after the factory velcro gave out:

Plus, I didn't do it and I picked it up Friday, but I had a little work performed on the audio system:

Love, love, loving the car!

Gray_Panther · 09-29-2015, 11:31 AM

^wow, sleek subtle and I am extremely impressed. Nice work!

I tried but couldn't get it. I reread how to do it and realized what I was doing wrong. Next time I I'll be ready.

The first time I got it started but it was saying there were transmission issues and the gear selector was dead. At that point I had no desire to have the car completely die on me on the way to the dealer. Even if I could get the dct to work.

Thank you. Yes, I was going for a stealth installation - all the other speakers are in factory locations, and the DSP is next to the satellite receiver in the forward trunk tray.
I was hoping to get the amps mounted under the floor and retain all the trunk space, but with the quantity of speakers, power requirements, and noise concerns it simply wasn't to be. But I think they did a fantastic job - the sub looks factory, to me, and the amp rack is very clean and took up minimal room.

AGAV13 · 09-29-2015, 04:09 PM

Finally got around to having my MPSS installed. Now time to drive and see if I can feel the difference in the ride.
