Which of you two got the silver hotness?

First oil change performed by me on wife's 2013 328i xDrive (F30) since dealer free maintenance plan ended. Dealer changed it a year ago. Drain plug had rounded corners & was gorilla-grunted on! Torqued it & filter cap properly (25 Nm) upon completing oil drain.

Did a wheel stud conversion this morning...




I like the fact that these don’t stick way out. (Pardon my shitty winter wheels.)

Hope they fit!!

I had 265 18 and 19 on my ZHP sedan before. As long as you don’t go further than ET45 on 9.5” wheel you’ll be fine.

Thanks for the confirmation Trevor! They’re going on Sportline 8s 18x9.5 ET45 wheels, which hopefully will be in hand by the end of the week. Fronts will be 235/40/18 on 18x8.5 ET45.

I can’t remember if I needed to just unscrew the rear bumper clip that is responsible for hooking the rear bumper to the rear fender. But even when it’s off, there is no sign of bumper droop. Just shave that stud down and you should be dandy.

The stud actually appears to be missing on the DS. I think the whole side of the bumper is being held in place by the plastic assembly about 8” back along the seam...part numbers 7 and 17 here:



Probably will do the same to the PS fender.
