F30 335i Brakes, Cluster & Headlights mods in detail
A friend picked up a 335i Sport, black on black with red piping and stitching accents. It was the first F30, and so far still the only F30 I've seen in Brooklyn and I was blown away by it, looks stunning in person.
He dropped it off for tint, but my hands itched and I got down and dirty. Headlights are still a work in progress, will finish by tomorrow. Brakes are complete, just need to rebleed them, and the cluster was basically a test try, I forgot to change the LED above the gas and temp needles so that area remained red. Only realized it after I installed everything back on Check out some teaser pics for now. PS. the headlights are a nightmare to remove ! |

am not sure what you did with the front brake? you put on Brembos?
am not sure what your intentions are for the headlights?? you removed the clear front cover?? what are you trying to do?? does it mean the headlights unit is pretty much shoot at this point?? you cannot put it back?? it would seem that you destroyed the front cover attachment right? Nice work on the instrument cluster... I like how it turns out... how easy is it? is the "before" picture coming from the same car? if so, how come the mileage is different (read lower than in the "after" picture) ? Very interesting indeed! I might pass by as C'ptain obvious, but will you put a DYI on the Instrument cluster mod??

The picture of the cluster was taken from the photo's bimmerpost had posted in the past... I just included the picture for comparison. Correct, brakes are factory brembo painted red with decals.. I'll post pictures of the headlights in the morning. |

Love the white instrumentcluster, but if you have Lights Package you can choose to have white lights instead of amber.

What consists of the light package? The LED's I replaced were all orange, there weren't any white LED's within the vicinity of the speedo and rpm gauges.
Here's a quick tease. |
