2018 What Did You Do To Your 6-Series Today?

Havy · 01-24-2019, 02:17 PM

Would be great if you tell us what you bought. An AMG

And don’t forget the pics.

Roccaas · 01-24-2019, 03:53 PM

650i Convertible. Working on the pics.
Cheers

Finished CF wrapping a modified spoiler (I didn't like the shape of it); letting the adhesive cure overnight, then applying epoxy resin tomorrow.

Practicing for a little more ambitious project.

Nice, would love to attempt this on some parts, interested to see how it comes out

LOL I tried Pics but they were too large. Will resize when I get a second... :-)

m9rc · 02-01-2019, 11:01 AM

From the Dealership

Cleaned

De Chromed

New Rims
(Sorry about the poor pics - when I get it properly cleaned I will take proper photos)

When I got the new Rims fitted they told me there was only 2 bolts holding each wheel on the passenger side instead of the usual 5

Glad I chose to change the wheels early

Take the picture and then take a screenshot of the picture that usually change the resolution to the necessary sizes for me might work for you

FBMWWINS · 02-01-2019, 02:39 PM

Nice wheels, can you specify brand and size?

Havy · 02-02-2019, 02:39 AM

It looks a bit like the Camaro wheels.

Thanks!

GMP Italia is the brand
They are Reven, black finish (I think I actually would have preferred dark grey but they are growing on me - will know better when clean)
Staggered fitnment 8.5 x 20 front and 9.5 x 20 rear

They just push them out that little bit more and has improved the stance greatly

sixfiftyay · 02-10-2019, 08:04 AM

installed my catless downpipes and removed my carbon filters yesterday. not fun but worth it.

Havy · 02-16-2019, 03:20 AM

Got a touch up on the side skirts and made some pics.

hugo_nz · 02-18-2019, 06:03 PM

Picked up a pair of BMW original black LCI kidneys. Easy-as plug and play retrofit and they look great!

Also thought I'd show off my sparkling clean engine bay with brand new turbo coolant lines.

Your wheel was secured with only 2 of the 5 bolts??? Seriously!!! That’s insane!!! You should really go back to whoever you bought your car from s d give them hell!!!

polar993 · 02-18-2019, 09:19 PM

I installed black kidney grills, and 10mm spacers over the weekend. I also adjusted the ride height on my H&R VTF springs.

That looks class!

polar993 · 02-20-2019, 08:59 AM

Thanks guys!

Next on the list of mods is to get the chrome trim on the front, side and door handles wrapped in gloss black. I will also be powder coating the wheels a gloss dark charcoal grey. I thought about black wheels, but I think it would be too severe.

On order is an Eisenmann Race rear muffler with valves. Tips will be gloss black. I also have an extra set of OEM badges for the rear that will be painted black.

That should complete the look (and sound!).

One more mod that I did....Alpina Blue Start/Stop button.
