Plasti dip rims - wow.
How long did it take to do ? And how is it so far in day to day maintenance .....

Re: My F30 Mod today
Took about 4 hours + to get about 5 coats and to spray abit of the wheel well. Just did it today but i see it lasting for at least a few months. As long as no one peels it off, i don't see why it won't last. The finish is fantastic!

Re: My F30 Mod today
Finally got my dinan springs installed.
Initial impressions: get it if u are on sports suspension. This springs felt like it was meant for the sports damper even more then the stock sports springs. (I will not recommend it for normal suspension. Get it if u are on m sports or m adaptive)
It definitely did not feel like 30% firmer, but u can immediately feel lesser body roll and more road hold.
Going over minor bumps felt better then before (dunno why)
Only thing is that I would want it even firmer. (Not sure how it will affect the dynamics)
Pictures to come

Re: My F30 Mod today
This is for bros that have the GruppeM intake (or the replica) and want to install the BMS OCC
Here are some photos to show how I mounted it myself.
Stuff inside the bonnet now:
CF Strut Bar + BMS OCC (Custom Location) + GruppeM Air Intake

Why not hang on the passenger side of the engine bay ?

Re: My F30 Mod today
The piping not long enough. And the passenger side not hot enough to boil off any water caught.

Re: My F30 Mod today
IMHO (I NTC2 only) - The oil needs to be condensed and the moisture also .... The engine boil the oil and water (gaseous state) then condense (liquid state) in the OCC is the idea. Condensation need lower temperature.
The driver side has a turbo right below the OCC .... That kind of heat might result in the oil and moisture passing right thru the OCC in a gaseous state...... into the intake manifold via the PCV.
