G30 owners please fall in!

As mentioned by bro Guardian, it is purely only candy to the eye :) - attached pic for the mats on the F06.

Compared to the standard carpet mat provided, IMO the M Performance mat is slightly easier to maintain/wash. From practical POV, the wholly rubberized ones will be the best.





Was the quality any different from the standard ones supplied with the car or special coz for the M performance badges?
 
Is there a way to permanently turn on the internal air circulation when switching on Aircon? I tried turning the passenger temperature knob to switch on, it works a few times, it retains previous status. Somehow it does not after engine is off and on the next cycle.

You can consider coding your car. Coding may compromise your warranty. You can approach the forums sponsors who do coding. To name a few (you need to double check with them) there is Codewerx, Elebest and soundwerkz. I do not have a quote as to how much it would cost but i intend to go and have it done, along with removing the seatbelt warning.

If you already know what is coding, sorry, if not, here is what coding could possibly do for your car. If differs from car to car.

I intend to have JB4 fitted on my ride. The JB4 can be fitted onto the B48 or B58. Not sure if have for diesel but i can ask the WS. The hp gains on a stock vehicle is approximately 40hp for a B48 and 60hp for a B58. Was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group buy kind of thing? So far its just me and another member, would anyone be interested? Just note that if PML does find out about the piggyback, they would make some noise and may void your warranty but the piggyback would be concealed and personally i doubt they would find out about it during the oil changes. The WS has offered to remove the piggyback during times like this but not for every oil service, just during those times when a claim is being be made. Info on JB4 can be found below.

If interested, drop me a PM?
 
sorry if not been updating you guys as often. To those whom ive already shared these pics,hope u dun tik any less of me by repeating this post...anyway, i prmomised some of u to show some pics of my wheels when i get them fitted so here they are....

recently collected my new wheels for my ride,they are 20" forged monoblock wheels 8.5J(ET29)in the front and 9.5J(ET27) in the rear.
i may have quoted incorrect figures in the past. These are the correct ones.

i chose the colour because i did not want a black looking rim,i prefered the old school sliver wheel so i chose a brushed aluminium look

1st impressions is that the colour is too light,spokes too chunky and hub too big,it just wasn't fierce enough,wasn't boy racer enough.concavity also not there.Springs and BBK yet to be fitted

i would have prefered skinner spokes but after a few days...i tik they are starting to grow on me.The sliver was what i wanted and imo i don't think a 5 would look gd as a boy racer kind of car.i may change my statement if i see a nice boy racer 5:D

enough talk....enjoy the wheels and if u guys need more info,can reply or PM me....

That’s very nice
 
Have been experiencing squeaky sound from brakes. Is it normal? Just 2k mileage. Depress lightly will hear the sound, but not during hard brake. Wat could be the cause?

Wat is the normal mileage for a full tank? Mine vary from 600-700, display show 900.

The auto start/stop really a pain. May consider coding as hohlim suggest.

nope...i don't think squeaky is normal at such low mileage. Maybe some brake cleaner can help? For my case on other car,i had to change the pads. It was an AD car. If yours is PI car,can try making noise at the warranty ws?

On FC...from another thread,530 is doing 10+ but some ppl averaging 8+. im now doing ard 7.8 and slowly working up..
 
I would go for bigger diameter with this spoke design to create the visual impact. Of course, ride comfort will be compromise. But then again, I share the same taste for color.
