Let me introduce you to -30C morning startups.

We always have a mini heatwave in the middle of the day the first half of february. Heater at night, a/c in the afternoon for a couple hours.

10mm still missing.

Epoustouflant , sorry for stinking up your thread. Back on topic, that Haimus box in matte looks incredible. I actually like their simple clean logo as a change up from the typical BMW M Power... which I have.

No worries! I've always found the M Power sticker slightly awkwardly positioned to account for the strut bar.
