I really like the look of the carbon rear spoiler, how much was it?

I came from a 330whp Evo ix also. The 335 feels quick stock, but once you get a Cobb accessport, it turns into a beast. The BMW doesnt handle like an Evo, but mine is actually faster 0-120.

Thanks! The shoulder straps are looped around the "Isofix" mountings in the back. The mountings can stand enough strain (someone I know at BMW checked for me) and I do not have to dismount the shoulder straps when someone gets in the back. Just throw them aside and strap in with the 3-points in the back. The disadvantage is the angle of the shoulder straps. Ideally they would be mounted in an angle of 20° as shown here (I assume, you can read German). This is however the required angle when using HANS with a 4-point harness. I don't use HANS, so I feel comfortable with an angle of approx. 40° (Schroth aknowledged that telephonically).

I run a higher risk of crushing my spine, when the harness has to take a full impact. I am willing to take that risk. To me the advantages of the 4-point make this risk worthwhile. It is something you will have to decide for yourself.
