Is there anything different about the wheel apart from the paddles instead of switches?
 
Yes, perforated leather, and wider grips (my original AMG one had wide grips too, but this feels much better )
 
Of course, was confusing it with the M-Sport one in our 1er.

ASP Pulley set installed and they look nice!

I think the dynamic seats finally have given up the ghost as they completely stopped working... have to check it out this weekend
 
looking good, love the headlights and steering!

ASP pulleys do refresh the engine bay, also safer in the long run in case the idler pulley bearing failed.
 
Does anyone know if I can just get the replacement lenses for the headlights? All the scratches, chips etc are showing up now...

Also if anyone spots a dynamic seat pump let me know ( I assume it's the pump)

Cheers
