Love all the mods Kzang! In the process of making some to mine and you have done pretty much everything I want to do. Can you let me know the part #’s you ordered on the pads? I need the same color.

Thanks!

I don't have the part numbers but I purchased mine from RG Sport. I believe the prices have increased a lot since my purchase. Check this link.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I heard the same thing from a few others along with availability is a little less now with the new model coming. I did check with Ben and he said none were in stock and would need to be ordered with a possible 4-6 month wait. I didn’t have the part numbers though so I was hoping to find some sitting on a dealer’s shelf somewhere.

Ordered mine from getbmwparts.com, surprisingly they have it in stock and got it in 5 days. These are the terra Dakota knee pads.

So I reserved a tri-motor Tesla's Cybertruck for end of 2022/2023 production.

Anyone else going EV?

Nice. I just gave them my $100 last week lol.
I'm not in a hurry since I still have my F15 but I'm curious to know some more details of the truck like color options, wheel/tire options..

Yea I know. The wheels are super ugly. If matte black is an option, I'd want that. Btw I've seen your YouTube vids and followed your setup with mppk and RC stacked. Are you still running that setup on your f15? No issue?

I am keeping my eye on Rivian R1S, still want to get few more years out of my X5 but Rivan looks good.

Would love to go iX, but can't stomach the exterior design. As Red said, Rivian looks intriguing though in the future as well. In the next few years, there should be a multitude of quality options coming out.

I don't run RC anymore. I'm all stock plus MPPK. I had a Trans Malfunction alert and went limp mode a while back when I was still running RC and decided I didn't want to use it anymore regardless if it was the cause or not. I think MPPK alone gives me enough power for day to day drives.

That's good to know. How many miles you had when it happened? Thanks for sharing

Preordered an iX. Hoping to get it June/July. One reason we didn't go with Tesla was because of the Yoke.

This is one of my favorite threads. I saw your video on YouTube before buying my 2018 50i. Same color. LOL. At the time, I had no idea this thread existed!
