I'd like to recommend automotivetouchup.com. I had excellent results with their 2K color matched rattle can paints.

Thanks. The stripes are vinyl, but have held up surprisingly well. Automotivetouchup products (and thorough prep) are really the secret. Great color match and ease of use in a professional 2K product. Just make sure you use a respirator...

Finally got the oem double sided tape off my trunk, only took 2 weeks in below freezing temps until today I got some new sticker remover and it came off decently in 25 degree weather.

Now I wait until it's warm enough to install my CF BMW trunk spoiler

kirkbar · 02-28-2015, 06:14 PM

Finished and installed my CF DCT shift knob.

This looks very nice. Alittle splash of color match, ///M colors, just tasteful. Repped.

Nice

Where you got it from and how did you remove the shifter

I did it myself using carbon fiber cloth and epoxy resin. The silver trim around the knob can be removed. I then removed the gear display overlay from the trim. Every day for about a week I sanded and then painted on another layer of epoxy until I had a good even finish.

If there was one available on the market, I would have bought it. But the 1er DCT knob is very unique and no other DCT knob will retro fit. I have the BMW CF interior trim and wanted this to match. I also painted the silver surround with gun metal gray to better match the CF.

inline sex · 03-01-2015, 02:02 AM

Gave It and the gf's R53 a wash

XONKracing · 03-01-2015, 10:28 PM

Hey guys. Ended the weekend with a nice wash and wax using Pinnacle Souverän... she's glowing. Also ordered the PPK 1 today. The plan is to have it installed at my next scheduled maintenance service in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, it will be the last maintenance visit under the CPO maintenance warranty.

Flew from Buffalo to OKC on Friday, bought a 135i, and got it home by Saturday night.

Today I stared at it in the garage for a bit before I left for work. And then got to work and bought some toys for it...

Very happy with the purchase so far

Cheeze1 · 03-02-2015, 12:09 PM

Got the chrome trim around the windows vinyled black. It's such an amazing improvement in looks! Big storm yesterday so the car could not be more filthy but I can't resist not sharing. Suspension is next when tax refund comes.

Added some hub extenders. I was uncomfortable with the small lip holding the wheel after adding a 5mm spacer. Heading down to Road Atlanta this weekend and wanted to be safe.
