Replaced my steering wheel with a refurbished Alcantara 6mt wheel. My car is a 6mt conversion and it’s had the stock steering wheel with the paddles removed since the conversion was done.
I like the feel of the Alcantara. Feels “elevated”

I need to find the lower plastic trim for the steering wheel that isn't titan silver...
After sitting on this part for more years than I can remember, I paid someone else to get it done. Glad I did because it actually proved harder than anticipated with the reposition of the hood sensor and the camber plates already on the car.
I ordered some new sticky track tires a while back but finally had some free time to stop by the local tire shop to have them mounted.
Can't wait to give these Bridgestone RE-71RS a try. I've only tried RS-3 on my STI but never tried anything else. I feel like I'm about to have my mind blown.
I should have cleaned up the wheels before I mounted the new tires but since they're track wheels, I'm not too concerned. The "black" OE rears came with my car and my friend gave me his set of rears, so now I have a square set for the track. I'll at least scrub them down before I put them on.

Your mind will be blown. I used to use RE71r on my E39 M5 and those make you feel like Superman. The RE71RS is even better.
Final CSL SMG goodies for my Karbonius airbox. The dipstick is cute and I have zero clue as to why BMW thought that the dipstick hidden beneath the airbox was a good idea, but we’re going for it despite knowing I’ll probably just bend/turn the original dipstick and guide tube once I realize how much of a pain this is.
CSL dipstick has to be short due to the size of the intake. There is no great way to secure the tall dipstick to the engine unless someone wants to go drilling into the unfiltered section of the CSL airbox lol. Even if that is done, the tall dipstick still rubs against the rubber conduit for the wiring harness. As long as the dipstick does not melt the conduit long term, that is the way to go for ease of access.
