I like it. I have the old Bimmian mount and am considering upgrading. Unfortunately I'd have to buy both the mount/holder all over again, instead of just the piece that holds the phone. Yours looks so good that might seal the deal.... thanks for posting the pics.

Imma just say, that steering wheel roundel looks awesome! And the phone mount is nice too.

Alright so today was a brake day. I changed out all the pads to the Z-Rated Metallic Ceramic pads from Bimmerworld, added Bimmerworld V2 stainless brake lines and Super Blue brake fluid. Here's how the day went...
Woke up at 9am to go browse junkyards with my friend since he was changing all the fluids on his grand cherokee. Found some stuff for him. Went to my friend's garage...
Car in the air with my friend in the seat
Calipers off...
Decided to hit my lugbolts with some rustoleom spray paint. Gloss black. They look AMAZING now!
Then my friend suggested I spray my calipers yellow so I said what the hell and did that too! If I don't like them, I'll strip them and hit them with black again.
Didn't get a pic of the lines but they're in here...
Full day of work. My knees and back are killing me but they're done and I just bedded them and they are awesome! They squeak some but I'm guessing that will fade as they break in more. They definitely stop the car a lot quicker than my old pads!

Great great work Hokie. I love the yellow calipers. Nicely done, all the way around.

Thanks guys! I ended up having to use engine enamel for the calipers so I'm not expecting them to last long. When they do eventually flake off, and depending on whether or not I like the yellow, I'll most likely have them powder-coated the color I want. They look good now though! The lugs look 100x better now, having been re-sprayed.

So today I installed my new Tri-Stitch ///M Coby Wheel and stripped and re-painted my calipers.
I ended up using a wire wheel on a drill to completely strip the calipers of the yellow engine enamel I used and the stock paint in the areas that I could get to without removing the caliper. Then I used my G2 caliper paint kit that I got at tirerack and hand painted the calipers with this paint. Pics don't do them justice, they look amazing! Much tougher and better looking finish than before.
Sorry for the iphone pics...it's all I had on hand.

Stripped:
After:
Then I installed my Coby wheel which is Black alcantara with the ///M tri-stitch! It also looks amazing!

After!:

Such a nice transformation going from beat up to brand new alcantara doesn't it?! Like.. how could it be the same fabric.
Oh and.. your oil light is on
