Agreed. I like frenched fogs on certain vehicles, but SUVs aren't among them. And plateless fronts always look nicer. Stupid Texas... have to have them on all my cars.

For a thread that has dog in the title and is 8 pages in. There is a distinct lack of dog pictures here.

Flashed ID6 Lite via BimmerCode finally, feel like it brings it up to par for the look and feel of the tech. Should have done it a while ago.

Chilled · 04-03-2022, 09:04 PM

Seat cover test fit, way over saturated due to light.

Even though I have CarPlay enabled , I'm OCD and weird and wanted my OEM Nav maps updated too. Worked with BMWNavCodes to reinstall the NBT software to allow for Nav updates via files instead of through BMW. Great success.

Do it. Not only do they look good, but they add a huge level of functionality if you have the use for it. We're going to put ours back on the F15 (usually lives on the E61 wagon for garage door reasons) for an upcoming trip to FL. Nice to not have the inside rear packed all the way to the ceiling so you can still use the rear view.

agreed, I can shove almost ALL my photo and photo booth gear in the box and put the actual booth in the back and still have a functional rear seat. My storage game has leveled up.

Same. I love the slightly more utilitarian look of the roof rack and boxes. Even though I dont do long road trips or have any NEED for one....I still WANT one

Was about $600 shipped from etrailer.com. Lightweight given its size and honestly hasn't really hurt my mpg at all.

Must be nice. LOL. Ours suffers a tad with the OE 460L box. Not terrible with the diesel, but still noticeable.

I got a smoking deal on ours from our dealer though. Bought 3 of them.

What size in cubic feet did you get? The size of yours looks perfect for my needs.

Also, when you strapping her on the dyno?

Motul 5w40 Oil Change completed today and sent in an oil sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis at 49,290 miles. Also added some small pieces in the form of billet caps, not too shabby.

Really excited to see what numbers you put down. Are you going to test on 93 and then blend?

Yep, the shop I want to take it to also did the flexfuel install and sells E98 so I can test both types of fuel on the same day.
