Today the M2/3/4 Lower Control Arm and Tension Strut got installed.
In my case the upgrade adds -1.2° of camber.

After a Testdrive, I have to say it increases grip and speed of turning, and I’m very happy with the ///M Parts.

Installation time: 5 min.

Belt buckle covers Alcantara
Installation time : 1 min.

Today I replaced the original Diverter Valve with the Turbosmart VR9 and the original plastic Turbo Inlet Pipe with the Turbo Inlet Pipe from MST.
It was a pain, but with some help and hours of work, 😩😓 I finished the job.

I got carbon Paddle Shifter.

18″ BMW Big Brake Kit with Dimpled, slotted, vented rotors.
Front: 370 x 30 mm (original 340 x 30mm)
Rear: 345 x 24 mm
Calipers: M Performance red

I got new Camber plates from Burkhart Engineering / Millway and a Front Strut bar from KCDesign. In my case, it adds -1.2° of camber.

The Display from Avinusa.com is outstanding and works perfectly. I can highly recommend this product. The big Touchdisplay makes it easy to work with it.

I have also tested two other Boxes but without success.
The worst box came from Skandinav.de and did not work. The Support is horrible, and most of the time you get only a “received message” but no answer. They are incompetent, so I can not recommend the Products from this Company.

I’m not a fan of the Black Panel “Digital” Design so I got the M2 PreLCI Speedometer.

After I lost one of my Carbon Mirror Caps I bought a new Set of Mirrors from Carbon Invasion.
It is a Mirror Conversion Set with a plastic upper, a lower part and a carbon mirror cap.
Looks like M2C Mirrors…
The fitting accuracy is not 100% but for that price it is OK!

The last Carbon Piece for the Rear…

Today I added a Carbon Radio-A/C Control Panel, a Alcantara Ventilation Grid and Carbon Door Handle Trims.

I got the KW DDC Plug&Play adjustable Coilover suspension!
My first impressions are that it is a great product.
In Comfort Mode, the suspension is smoother and in Sport/Sport+ Mode it is even harder, I like it very much :-). I also added 10mm H&R Trak+ Spacers to all Wheels.

new LCI Taillights for my M235i

It is done, I replace the China Spoiler with a new Carbon Rear Spoiler from AC Schnitzer.

I got the M4 Style Prepreg Carbonfiber Mirror Caps from Burkhart Engineering.
Except for the Plastic Mounting Clips the Prepreg or Dry Carbon Mirror Caps are made of 100% Carbon and created with Autoklav which gives us a high surface quality and low weight.

I got a new Air Intake System that replaces my M Performance Intake with Pipercross Filter.

Buildquality, Prize and Sound of the MST Air Intake System are amazing!!!

The original BMW Paddle Shifter has been replaced with Alu Paddle Shifter

I have added new Kidney Grill from Salberk and US Spec. Grill for the Bumper.

The original plastic Chargepipe and the rubber Boostpipe (TIC) where replaced by a Alu Version from FTP Motorsport.
The original Brakelines where replaced by braided brakelines from Burkhart Engineering.

I bought an “M4 Competition Like Carbon Spoiler” from Aliexpress.

I have replaced the Original Cupholder + storage package with a new one alcantara fabric covered Cupholder with Qi Loading.
Bought on Ebay by ECD Performance

After a talk with ECD Performance i ordered the dark black version + cigar lighter.

I glued a Alcantara Lookalike Microfiber fabric on the stock trim cover for a/c control panel.

The original Downpipe were replaced by a HJS 300 cells Euro 6 Downpipe and the original FMIC where replaced by a Wagner Tuning EVO 1 Performance FMIC.

Youtube Vid’s from 83metoo: first Video , after one year

Today i replaced the 5 Year old Pirelli P Zero Run Flat Tires with new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S!
The Grip is sensational, just amazing…

The BMW M Performance Limited Slip Differential has now been installed!
After a 250 km Ride (normal Driving), I must say that the LSD is the best Performance Part!

After almost a year with the limited-slip differential, I must say that it is simply brilliant and the difference from the driving behavior is like night and day!!
Whether a power slide or a day drift training on snow and ice or just accelerating out of a curve, it is always a pleasure and you get a smile every time again :-).
I would highly recommend this M Performance Upgrade to everyone!

Last week, after a 24-day waiting period (4 days for the Delivery) i got the Speedometer Casing from Bimmer Masterpieces.
Color: Black Alcantar and white stitching
Model: CS
The Assembly took 5-7 min. and it was realy easy!
Remove both Screws (T20 Torx) from the Top of the Instrument panel.
Now tug forward on the instrument cluster, and allow it to rotate towards you.
Now slide the casing directly onto the dashboard head.
Now reinstall the instrument cluster.

The Alcantara and Stitching Colors matches Perfect with the BMW Materials.

Replaced the Silver trim with the Carbon trim for the gear lever.

For the sake of completeness, i have added the Stainless Steel Pedal covers.
