It's literally a stick-on from Ali: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...56881802oZdn81

Worth every cent.

I had no trim there

Okay. This is what I have. This literally just sticks right over what is there?

On top, yes.

Either blue support braces or M performance valve stem caps

I heard the ///M logo adds +20whp per cap…

I also got the bling button trim from Uncle Ali...
But what is that display in your vent?

My pointless mod was swapping out the piano black radio trim for a carbon piece.

I can already see that this "pointless" thread will be costing me the most money.

So far with my F30, Xdelete is the most pointless thing. I like the driving dynamic better in RWD, but with no rear LSD and having to leave DSC completely off, it's somewhat pointless. I'd forgotten how miserable an open diff RWD car is in the snow and other low traction situations

I didn't realize this was also pointless, add it to my list.

You've got a shiny one though. Doesn't it still show finger prints? Your interior looks good!

Careful, that's 20 psi per cap. Not HP.

440i6MT · 11-26-2023, 05:11 PM

Probably a tow hook cover I ended up throwing away a couple months later

Abzynthe · 11-28-2023, 04:24 AM

This is probably my most pointless mod. I have oem M4 grills, but not an M4, so didn’t want the M4 badge. I got a 440i badge custom made instead.

The blue V bars are probably more pointless though.

Where's the badge from?

I had the most basic bone F30 BMW 328i ever when I bought it...but I had that glove box net. They must have splurged on that one!

chrismuk · 12-10-2023, 09:22 AM

Well after seeing it on this thread I had to buy the light switch trim. Why didn’t they do this from factory!

I also put led fog light bulbs in to replace the candles that were there originally.
