I have been using these for a couple years now with no issues. This particular oil also glows under black light to help when checking for leaks. Mann filter is stock bmw filter. My valve cover gasket started to leak late last year and this oil help me directly diagnose the issue.
This are different than the oem xenon headlights. These are just slightly different than the angel eye xenon’s, these are aftermarket and are “m3 3d style”
These are taken at a good angle, but they are China/eBay headlights. Many different vendors for them eBay/alibaba/etc. They look odd in person. Depo makes them too. Here’s an example:

You will need bulb adapters like these for the lci models like your car: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083FXR93D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sXjsFbZEAKZY0
Most of the current quality led bulbs being sold now do a good job of mimicking the halogen beam pattern. Just make sure that you aim them properly. There are numerous YT videos on how to do that.
And what kind of weight can it support.
Most of these phone holders are totally gimmicky because they wont be able to support nor hold a phone with an otterbox or heavy case on it.
It looks like one of these, https://www.amazon.com/Colours-Alumium-2013-2019-Car-Accessories/dp/B07QQJX2M7

Measuring what came out would get you close but wouldn't be 100% accurate. If there was a little fluid missing you would be refilling it low, plus you will lose a little while draining.
I had to add almost a while another liter of fluid once the Trans cooler opened, so basicly had to fill it, run it until hot, let it cool, and fill it again. There are ZF instructions online that indicate this step.
Lastly, having a fluid transfer pump with adapters that thread into the fill whole will make you life so much better. No mess as any extra you pump in will just drain back into the pump when you remove the pressure. I used something similar to this.
I think so, but correct me if i’m wrong you can double check here..
Yeah, I'd be surprised if the wires were falling apart. The F30s seem to have a surprising amount of wires that aren't wrapped in harness tape or loom all around the engine.
This is the high heat Tesa tape that I'd ordered in the past. Tesa makes the wire wrap tape for a lot of the big automotive manufacturers, including BMW. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I2MLN2Q/
On another note, just realized that I have the same car. 2014 335i xDrive 6MT. I bought mine about a year ago after a couple years of keeping an eye on listings for the right car. How much of a struggle was it to find yours?
I brakes on my F30 a few months ago, and used Zimmerman/TRW. Was very happy with the result. I bought from FCP as well.
I would 100% confirm you have the right wear sensor as the front and back are different lengths.
Only comment is you can probably get a caliper compressor tool cheaper somewhere else. I got one from Amazon that works great:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TV71GZ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You do have to have pressure on the tool I bought for the ratchet mechanism works. Once I figured that out it worked fine on maybe now 5 brake jobs.
Now, I am a sucker for a good quality tool. The one I have is just OK, so if you do get this one (which looks cool) please report back on if you like it. ;)
Good luck!
I installed this onto my 2008 BMW 535i E60. It has its complaints, for example
​
​
If I had the $1.2k at the time for a proper retrofit headunit that took my CCC to CIC, I would do it in a heartbeat. FWIW, I wanted a more modern experience and when it is connected and humming along, it works fine; it has its gimmicks that I may try to modify in the future on my own. As it is, you get what you pay for I guess.
If it was up to me, get a b58tu HPFP on the car now with a custom line. Will allow you to run full e85 mixes without issues.
Otherwise FTP charge and boost pipe, FTP turbo inlet, Turner Motorsport intake pipe to air box (gets rid of cheese grater sound resonator in air intake pipe), and a g-plus intercooler will get you pretty far.
All the crazy stuff and tech discussions are here in a wiki.

Lol don’t worry about it what I got plug and play except coding with bimmercode but it takes 2 seconds so no biggie
If you just want bluetooth, a simple solution is to get an aux to bluetooth receiver.
Something like this for example (doesnt have to be the exact one)... I have this and it works great, best ~$10 I ever spent.
Literally nothing if you use the screws that come off your bumper. You'll need a socket set though. I used one that attached to a drill for quick removal. I also highly recommend getting a bendable extender for that drill. It makes it a little easier to get to the screws in the tire well panel and won't require you to remove the tires to get there if you turn them when doing each side.
Something like this. Good luck!
No power up unless you are running a custom large turbo or more than e30 ethanol mixes (off the shelf options don’t max out the hpfp). The factory hpfp can’t handle flowing the amount of fuel required for ethanol mixes above e30 or so. Sure you can tune for more ethanol, but it’s not as much power as you could have without port injection or meth injection.
If you aren’t going to use e85, it’s a waste. “Upgrading” for the future works, and you don’t require a tune with it when using standard 91/93 octane gas and off the shelf tunes. Otherwise with stage 2 turbo and all bolt ons available (I’m missing one thing but that requires taking off the valve cover) stock hpfp works great on 100% 93 (98 RON) octane.
This is more technical than you would like to know, but someone else will want this info.
https://www.notion.so/N2x-B4x-HPFP-Spec-Sheet-47e9c1ef62374cf08af2cd8b2c0b1038
Max volume each hpfp is rated for:
N20 - 0.878 cc per rev B58tu - 1.178 cc per rev
Considering e85 needs around 30% more volume, it helps drastically.

I've been using this P&S Brake Buster diluted in a spray pump. It works pretty well I have no complaints. You can dilute it quite a bit and it'll still have enough bite.
not sure about towing with your specific car but if the motorcycles are small enough (dirtbike, cafe racer, etc) you could get a motorcycle rack instead or a trailer (such as this I used one with my old jeep and dirtbike and loved it. never had to fiddle with trailer lights and it weighs much less so would probably put less strain on your car than a full trailer.
This is the spoiler link here You can find a company with better reviews but that one looks good if I can find the example of someone who already has one I will I just have to actually find the dude who has it
I bought this one. I went with an MMI because it would be easier to replace the MMI box rather than the entire screen. I've also heard that that screens are hit or miss.

There’s oem bmw available on Amazon for F30 right now. Cheap too. this
I just bought the same car and added the box (I have the larger screen stock). Carplay works well as doea the stock camera. You can switch between the MMI and stock infotainment by long pressing the menu button.
Weird of advice, if you're going to code The car with Bimmercode, do it before you install the MMI.

I'm planning on doing this to my 328i minus the new display. The head unit upgrade box itself seems to be pretty simple, just plug it up. The hardest part will be the trim removal. There are some videos on YouTube that show you how. The backup camera will require the removal of the truck lining and you have to run the cord up to the front through the floor trim. Pretty simple idea but I have yet to attempt it.

without upgrading the actual head unit, the screen upgrade alone is not worth it for that much money. for what you want, i’d recommend going 2 routes. either get an android 10 head unit with a 10.25” screen. something like this Koason Android 10.25 inch HD1920 Screen Display Monitor 4G LTE Multimedia Player GPS Navigation for BMW F20/F21/F23/F30/ F31/F32/F33/F34/F36/F80/F82/F83/F84 NBT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QS4NYJY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_21CB1JCB2FRB1GB6SQBV

I got the GSRECY ones on amazon, but the trim tape was too thin so they were sticking out from the bumper, and it also didn't stick. I had to pull the tape off and use proper 3M trim tape, now they sit flush.
Sounds like some kind of desiccant. Something like this?
eg these ones in the 3rd picture you can see how it's finished on the back:
This happened to me because my low pressure fuel pump was bad. The message popped up for me at a quarter tank of gas so to test it I filled the tank brought it down to a quarter and sure enough it popped up again. Replaced the pump and no issues since. Unfortunately this could also be a number of things though. I recommend purchasing bimmerlink along with a compatible obd 2 scanner like this one to pull up codes.

Here’s a link for the taillights! I’d recommend these for anyone trying to save some money on gts taillights. Only complaint I have is that that blinkers on the trunk lid don’t turn on, but there’s a 95% chance it was my fault 😂. If you have all the tools this install would take like an hour. These have the startup animation, sequential blinker, bright brake and reverse lights, and a very clean smoked finish. Worth the money!
Are they white? Or clear/silver reflective? I installed the clear/silver and agree they look great, they also match the reflective tape in the headlights. I guess they describe them as white lens:

I bought that a couple of years ago. I think it looks good. Easy to get on and lined up. It's held up really nice too. Mine has some of the paint chipping off from where I scraped it on a tree branch parking one day, but that's no fault of the spoilers. 5 stars would recommend.
Here’s a link for anybody that wants to look further into it. I think it looks really unique and it’s definitely an addition I’d want to add to my car, just want to learn more about it first.
I actually just used this stuff and it worked pretty well. Mothers 06112 Back-to-Black Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GZLMEN4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_yfgVFb7YKMCR1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I had that charging pad but it charged very slowly plus the phone kept flying off while turning. I replaced it with this one. It works much better: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PLKBPCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hYyNFbQE019C9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If you don’t want to tear your doors apart, I grabbed handle inserts for $50 for two doors. They just slip into place within 3 seconds or so. Eventually I’ll change the handles themselves, but these work great and people don’t know the difference minus the melting rubber.

Here's the exact diffuser I bought. Takes a bit of patience to install it but it's not too bad.
I bought the 335i badge off of Bimmian and the xDrive one off of eBay if I remember correctly.
interesting, did it not have something like this?
Update: Just ordered and installed one from “Road Top” on amazon. I’ll link the product for whoever is interested. Install was very easy and didn’t even require the external mic or aux input for my f30.
I've got the same ones off amazon for around $350. Fitment wasn't exactly perfect but very workable and really stand out. They're better than the stock halogens I previously had and have had no electrical issues since I've installed them 2 months ago. Link is here if anyone cares.
Unfortunately the seller I bought them from no longer has them. They have some that look identical still on eBay though they are shipping from China and mine shipped from New Jersey... Not sure how long shipping would take from China during a pandemic... Amazon also has similar ones available with prime shipping but they don’t have the m logo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8H7WDL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lboqFbT9SDQX1
You can find some decent ones on Ebay and Amazon that look dope
like these
I actually just got some wrap off of Amazon and did it myself. I didn’t want glossy carbon and most carbon bits are a little pricey.

I got two of these rolls and did all of my interior bits.
My rear diffuser I got on eBay and it was a direct fit. I got my rear spoiler from amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WRRIRHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-GM5EbY7YXABV because it came pre painted and was easy to install... Push to start button I also got from amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P9641JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SKM5Eb0B8XCN2
Sure thing! It's available on Amazon for about $299.99 with a 6% coupon.

And hmmm I have no idea LOL I just added them and it worked!
Apparently the Depo headlights for the '16-'18 are sold out on uniquestyleracing website where everyone usually gets the pre lci lights from! I have a '16 too and was considering these on amazon https://www.amazon.com/DNA-Motoring-HL-3D-F3013-BK-Projector-Headlight/dp/B07D4YLCJG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=EESPYZPK36OR&dchild=1&keywords=bmw+f30+headlight+16&qid=1590335375&sprefix=bmw+f30+head%2Caps%2C523&sr=8-3
These apparently do fit! an these are the only style I found for lci f30's that are around oddly enough!
I swapped out my halogen headlights on my 2016 320i a couple of years ago with these aftermarket ones sold by amazon (See link below). They have held up so far in Canada's cold weather so i do recommend them. The only issue i had was that they had to be coded to prevent flickering. Paid a guy $80 CAD to code them which was also a bonus because he unlocked cool features that i didn't know my car was capable of. You could also check out a website called "carID" where they have similar headlights. Hope this helps.
