The weathertechs don't cover the b-pillar so you see a gap in the flow of the visor.
For these exact same reasons.

I really want to turn my non-Fsport into a Fsport. I've seen the front grills online. Anyone have experience at this, or attempted it?
As promised, here's the pic, lol. Carbon Fiber side mirror covers, and CF spoiler.

Pics are a little past due but I put my new steering wheel and shift **** from DCTMS on awhile back. Took a few phone pics so not the greatest but you get the idea. I absolutely love the new look and feel of my interior. Completely changed it for me. I was originally going back and forth between a GS350 and a 535i msport and the one thing I loved about the 535 was the beefier steering wheel. This new wheel adds some beef to it and makes all the difference, blows the msport wheel outta the water! Easily my favorite mod to date. Also, don't worry, doing my oil change after work this evening

Haha! crazy thing is pics don't even come close to doing it justice. If you have the Cabernet color interior I highly suggest doing the same Cabernet color for the stitching on the wheel. Can't see it that well in my pics but it matches perfectly and looks awesome.

Email Ivan at DCTMS and he will set you up. Well worth the $$ in my opinion.

Looking good Cap 👌👍

I absolutely love mine too. I went with the red stitching to match my start button 😉

About $800 if you want both wheel and ****. There are some core deposits you need to make, but they get refunded once you ship back your core.

@CaptRog21 I do want to ask you how is your wheel holding up in the AZ heat? I've hear some people complain that heat eventually will cause the carbon to separate from wheel. It was just one or two guys complaining. Don't think it's a wide spread problem. I rarely drive my car and it never really sits in the full sun all day so I don't think I'll have any issues. So far so good.

Uhh pretty sure it was $750 for the wheel and ****. You do a $300 core deposit which he refunds you once you send your core back. Pretty easy to put on yourself as well. Only hiccup is the wheel is most likely going to be ever so slightly off center just because its not your stock core wheel on there anymore but a simple alignment will straighten it out.

That better not happen! I have had zero issues so far but I also keep it garaged at home and its under cover all day at my different offices. Anytime I am out and about and park it in the sun I have a solid sun shield and always try and park with the sun at the rear of the car which has always been a habit of mine. My dash and wheel should be good for a long time.

Yup 4 wheel alignment is needed. Mine is perfectly straight after alignment

looks good, a bit much for me though. only interior thing i might consider is if the 2019 ES start button could be swapped into our cars. next gen start buttons are nice lol

Wow, steering wheel looks great. I assume you don't need to ship your steering wheel in, correct?
