Did a little test fitting of the 135i rear calipers today. The M3 rotor backspacing is perfect, but the set screw is apparently in a different spot. Haven't decided what I'm going to do...

The set screw isn't entirely necessary - just helps to hold it on when changing them.Originally Posted by 704sw

Did a thorough cleaning of my interior. Used my Swiffer to dust everything down, then followed up with a microfiber and some 303. Then I removed my WeatherTech mats, vacuumed those with my Dyson V8 cordless vacuum, then used the 3 different attachments to vacuum my interior. Finally, I used a very damp microfiber towel to scrub my steering wheel, shift knob, and leather seats.
Vacuumed out the trunk as well.
YEEESSSSS!!!
It looks fantastic as-is. Do you plan on doing the black console, dash, and armrest as well?
The current scheme is exactly like the brand new F30's (except for the airbag covers). 👍

I actually quite like the contrasting dash, but I think I'd like a black console and armrest.YEEESSSSS!!!

It looks great as is, I agree. I only asked because the factory way to do it is with a black dash, armrest, and console. Some people do it that way, others don't, so it's personal preference.

Good point. And on the rear axle it's arguably less important. The E60 530i rotor allegedly has the same backspacing, which conveniently my old man drives. I'll take a look at his set screw tomorrow, otherwise I'll just go for it. I can always tap in a new hole on the rotor hat. Fronts will use stock 330 rotors thanks to the new bracket
And undercarriage shots just for Peter. The existing bump stops were a bit discolored but in great condition (so I reused them). I also put a fresh coat of undercoating in both rear wells, as the factory coating was looking every bit of 12 years old.

Great work! I too vacuumed out the interior yesterday but at a gas station since I don't have a fancy Dyson cordless like you and our condo parking garage does not have any electrical outlets to use a regular vacuum. The rear was almost completely clean because I barely ever have passengers in the rear seats. I use a leather wipe every few weeks on my steering wheel to try to keep it free of dirt/oils.

I like having the dash have beige on it, so that won't change.
I plan on getting a black alcantara cover for the arm rest from Coby Wheel.
What's the "console"? The plastic thing in the middle that holds the arm rest and coin holder? Hadn't thought of that. Probably will leave that the same.
