I've the same feeling, under 40 mp/h car is 'crying' ..... but above 50 mp/h something happens (expecially in cars which have active suspension/roll bars) I think.

Today, I changed the grills on my newly acquired 2017 650 GC. And I did it without removing the bolts on the front bumper. Took me 30 mins using a radiator hose tool as suggested by others.

Here's the eBay listing for the grill: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F163808728098 And the Amazon tool I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CZNZGND...p_mob_ap_share |

I’ll definitely pick this up though if I manage to get RPI scoops I can install, as I broke one of the clips getting the OEM grills off previously. |

My second post here as I bought the car a month a go (although I am familiar with the forum as I had an F10 previously).
Washed it, applied Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic on the body, Rain X on the windscreen and Poorboys Wheel Sealant on the alloys. Yesterday I swapped the OEM speakers for Focal ISBMW 100L component speakers and coded the comfort entry so the mirrors fold without holding the remote key, coded the seats to slide back when I open the door (and slide forward when I press the ignition button), turned off the start/stop engine by default, enabled sport screen. I am thinking to add an M6 V type spoiler, just worried it will look too big.... |

May I ask you about coding? I'm using BimmerCode and have coded many features but I cannot find out what section I should be looking in to code the comfort entry so the mirrors fold without holding the remote key and how to make the seats slide back when you open the door. What are the main categories those two are listed in? I've searched and cannot locate these. Thanks. |

Sure, to code the seats follow this YouTube video https://youtu.be/UPOi5TqxmnM and for the mirrors you need to change comfort closing delay to "no delay" in the Front Electronic Module in Bimmercode. |

Just an FYI: remember that BMW progressively changed some of the control modules during the production run of the f06/f12/f13. Early models may have had a FRM (footwell module)...some later had the FEM (front electronics module)...and near the end the cars may have the BDC (body domain controller).
So when discussing "coding"...it is important to know the model year/build date...or the control modules that get coded. As you can see...some may not use the same coding procedure if their car uses a different module or may not even be able to be coded with a certain feature due to the difference in communication bus.

My car is OEM standard 640 M sport, I haven't changed anything to it and assume the previous owner hasn't . It sits on 20 inch wheels, non RF tyres. GC are beautiful as well but a compromise due to the success of the 6 series. A coupe should have two doors, I feel the same as you do, they are made for the drivers and make no apologies to what they are. I may lower it but I prefer clean a clean look. I would add a spoiler and perhaps change the head unit for an android one but couldn't find any to fit my car (any links would be appreciated). |
