Something I did few weeks ago, put the door sills on both front doors

Those look great. Did you place them yourself or did you have them professionally mounted? Can you provide a link on where to purchase ?
I put them myself aligning it with some paper tape. Ordered them from my dealer directly. The part number is 51479464399 and you need two of them. Bear in mind I am in Bulgaria, don't know where it can be bought in another countries.

These look good. Far better than the carbon M ones.
Also they are far less expensive than the carbon ones

I prefer the carbon ones especially as I'm planing to add more carbon parts to the car like the mirror caps, rear diffusor and maybe some parts of the interior.

All the silver stuff like the emblems need to go.

Yes those are 20", front 20mm, rear 38mm.
Similar to original offset so no poke at all.

Thanks for the reply, and hate to be a pain...but do you have any pics of an angle showing how flush?

If not, no biggie.

Congrats! How do you like it so far?

I saw that you went from waiting for carrier assignment on 2/3 and picked up the car from dealer on 2/8. Mine went to waiting for carrier assignment last night so I'm really hoping I can pick up next week.

I haven't had a chance to drive it a ton (only about 40 miles due to me getting the flu the day after I picked the car up) but so far I love it. It's incredibly different to the G01 in just about every way, but I'm very happy with the purchase. Despite the drastic difference from the G01, it's still very much a BMW at heart (and an improved one at that, in my mind).

I was expecting the car to go to the port like my G01 did, and then get on a truck to the dealership but this one went straight to the dealership so it went a little quicker than I thought. I could've picked it up on Friday the 7th but would've been there pretty late so I decided to just go get it the next day.

Drove my G45 out in the first thunderstorm we've had in a while out here in the SF Bay Area. Made me glad I had my car ceramic coated shortly after I took delivery — all the water headed up and rolled off smoothly!
Where did you get your ceramic done? I tried California Detailing and went with ceramic pro ultimate package

Thanks. Don't need to translate since I'm from Germany ;-)

But price is hard... 565 Euro.
Miss the days when a performance grill was <200 Euro.

Put in these Lasfit all-weather floor liners yesterday. Everything fits perfect too. Pretty hard to beat for $200 considering it's front/back (with the connector), cargo mat, and rear seatbacks. Right now they have a coupon code for $30 off too....which was not there when I ordered them 2 weeks ago so that sucks :laugh:

I'll get some pics eventually but these are what I ordered:

went to do up the cf mirror and the m50 grille today but didn't end well unfortunately

mirror cover was great

however for the m50 grille, the seller sent wrong part no. to me 51115A62760 instead of 51135A62760 which i only notice when installing because hindsight 20/20. 🤦 so it lacked the sensor socket. the piece is just a dummy piece

so interim measure while getting the correct replacement, i have to use back the m sport cover which luckily has the same clips placement 🤪

I'll never get it why you would make your car look like something it isn't. Waste of money imho for those M imposter cars.

I had a lot of fun with my debadged Audi RS when I smoked some Porsches with it :D
