I'm using a similar amazon product, with the magnet and all, and I can say I'm a huge fan of the flexibility of the amount of positions you can put it in- I also love people's reactions when I just slap my phone on my dash and it sticks :biggrin

It doesn't look like it's on the inside of the projector lens. Just pop off the lens cover and wipe the outside of the projector lens. It's an easy fix. You probably don't need to change anything else if you don't want to.Quote:

Really? Well that's good to know, I'm probably gonna go check it out right now and see what I can doQuote:

It definitely looked to be on the front of the lens; I'm sorry if it seemed I was suggesting it was on the backside. Use rubbing alcohol to clean it and you should be good to go.

Phew well I just got back from fixing it(wish I saw that tip about rubbing alcohol, I just wiped it off with a clean microfiber)Quote:

Why did you need to take out the bolts? All you needed to do was take the corner off and then the trim at the bottom. You can pop off the lens while it's still on the car lol
Omg really... yikes lol there goes that [emoji23] helpful information for the futureQuote:

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it"
yup, good one.
Want to confirm: M3 vert seats are the same as non-M Sport seats (minus the seatbelt)? A local part-out has cinnamon vert seats. I know the back isn't compatible, but I'm kind of liking the idea of the seat mounted belts so I can minimize the beating my cube trim takes.

They are exactly the same as the non-M vert seats.Quote:

I think functionally they are. However, M seats have Nappa leather, where the non-M seats are Montana. Nappa is a finer quality leather.Quote:

I didn't see mention of it online; perhaps I have discovered something nobody else has! :biggrin
I read about that in the owner's manual while we were driving the blue car back from Canada.Quote:

Thanks for the reminder!
I definitely didn't know that. I will definitely do that, since I only like my heated seats on "boiling lava hot/sterilization" setting or not on at all.
LOL. my wife is like that. i only put it on setting 3 when it's reeeeally cold out. otherwise 1 works great.Quote:

I agree. By the time they get up to temp, the cold leather has already made you shriek and gotten up to temp with your body.Quote:

Good info, didn't know that trick. I love the heated seats, especially living near the beach with leather seats, but I rarely get above setting 1 and usually only for a little while. They really come in handy on road trips with the top down when it starts to get cooler at night.
You're such an enabler. Now I want to figure out how to make this happen.Quote:

In the cold I start off with setting 3 and go down to 1 eventually. If it's somewhere above 35 degrees, I might not even turn the air on.
Damn it, dreams crushed. I've never seen or heard anyone mention it. I just assumed everyone just pressed the button three times to turn it off like I do. lolQuote:

They are sublime.

If it makes you feel any better I didn't know about it too and now I want to try it on my friends's cars (BMW and non-BMW) lolQuote:

Hey guys just wondering here, my brakes have been real squeaky the last couple months and I'm starting to get fed up with it lol, so when I first bought my car it came with a bunch of extra parts including a box labeled with hawk racing brake pads. Now I'm not sure if the Hawks are on the car or in the box, but the ones in the box are about brand new(pictured) and I'm debating putting them on the car. I've also got some brake quiet that I'm gonna apply. What do you think? Are these the OEM or Hawk pads? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4ddf3a30d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2409820365.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4696189329.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b2ab3621d4.jpg

The side of the box should have a label saying what kind of pads they are. What are they? That will determine whether you should put them on your car.
Good point, looks like they're carbon pads(which makes me feel like they're the ones in the box just by the amount of dust they have just handling them, and the color would match https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a25a9f09a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...be3c5d99be.jpgQuote:

It makes me wonder why the previous owner would have supplied you with track pads. Do you know if s/he tracked the car? I wonder if it's different pads in the HT10's box. The backing plates on those don't look like HT10's. I think they're supposed to be blue painted.
Ok awesome I'm glad I asked lol I know nothing about brakes.Quote:

How much do they cost retail? Might put them up here for someone who can find a better use for them than I can, won't be around to track all summerQuote:
