Ordered all my mods !!!
Waiting on a Glacier Silver M235i (pre-production)
There's not much else to do while waiting on the car, so I thought I'd get the mods/accessories ! Found decent prices ... mostly OEM parts, only one aftermarket part. Interior: - OEM stainless steel pedal covers Exterior: - OEM black kidney grilles - OEM front splitters and lip spoiler - OEM M Performance rocker panel side decals - OEM M Performance side stripes (just below door handles, complement the bottom decals well) - OEM Carbon Fiber rear deck spoiler - Aftermarket Carbon Fiber mirror covers (just couldn't put down $600 for mirror covers) I also plan to get the rims painted glossy black.

Excellent mods! I've got the rocker panel and accent stripe decals too. They totally transform the car. Having my wheels painted gloss black was the best thing I could have done to the car too. It's perfection.
Just got it for two days now and I'm overwhelmed how amazing it is.

Couple of questions: 1 - How did you paint the wheels ? Plasti Dip ? Powder coating ? Autozone auto paint ? 2 - Did you DIY or get it done professionally ?

The dealer had it professionally painted at a wheel repair shop before I collected the car. I think you should too. They do wheel balancing after painting as well. I think painting and powder coating are the best options.
Please don't do plasti dipping. I hate that stuff so much. It has a horribly grainy finish and looks bad even professionally done. Bad experience here... I'll post a picture later to show how awesome it looks!

Got my sport pedals today. Good price, great packaging, fast shipping.
However, is my brake pedal cover missing a rubber insert that's supposed to stick out of the three cutouts in the pedal cover ? Got em from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Please help ! Thanks !

Thanks, yeah, I did contact Amazon and the seller got back to me saying they will ship it "as soon as they can". Will see how well they resolve it.

The website said something like "payment for painting is separate". Anyway, I got mine without paint (I didn't want them painted). Will keep you posted.
