i did this about a year ago in dry carbon, TBH was much easier than the interior as the curves are bigger and much easier to work with

It will only go back to standard when it's time to sell.

Weistec Oil Filter Cover

Went back in to install this aluminum oil filter cover.
Changed my oil the other day but thought the Weistec unit was faulted. It needed the ‘fastening’ piece from the existing cover removed, and then installed in it. I didn’t know that. Saw it on YouTube for another aluminum cover replacement.
Used the below seen long nose vise grip gingerly to get the piece out of the existing cover. Was easy. Snapped right in the new piece. Was a good thing I bought this piece. The BMW tool would not get the old oil filter cover off. Would just slip. I had torqued it on to 40Nm two days ago. Had to use other tools to get it off. Now will go on & off with a 32mm socket. 6mm Hex for the drain bolt.

Non-vertical slat grilles are much beefier looking. First thing I did was to replace the grille. You won't be sorry.

Finally got round to finishing off my NBT Evo retrofit by adding a g30 touchscreen. Took a lot of dremeling to the back of it to get it to fit and it's now held in with Araldite but it's working perfectly and I'm really pleased with it! (Previous mod also in the shot )
