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.Quote:

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!!!Quote:

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.Quote:

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 [emoji1303]Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Nice! Good DIY.Quote:
