Interesting; Ya must have been an individual order for the headliner; lucky.

The rwd bumpstops are actually longer; X-drive has the shortest bumpstop of all (awd, non-sport rwd, sport rwd and M5). The camber up front helped the car feel more lively even being that minimal

Yeah wish they also optioned m sport bumpers though haha.

Oh weird, I asked someone on the FB group and he was running 535 rwd m sport bump stops, he said they were shorter. I guess I'll just cut mine to avoid getting the wrong part.

Okay perfect thanks again!

ISTA+ to max out rear ride height KW V3 Max on front height.
Rim - 18x8

Wagon is back out for winter duty and made a few changes:
-matching amethyst dakota comfort front seats w/lumbar
-heated m-sport steering wheel
-Anthracite headliner
-lci shift boot
- Sycamore maple trim
-put in a new small disa, ordered a connnector to make the adapter harness for the N54 throttle body and ordered Dinan M54 adapters to make a dual feed intake (dinan m5 and e90 n52 style)

What's different between the LCI and pre-LCI shift boots? Can you help me understand what you're doing with the N54 throttle body?

Lci console trim has a different shape, needed the boot to match since im running a 2010 trim with cic controller

n52 throttle body is 76mm dia, n54 is 78mm dia. The dinan n52 modified throttle body is 79mm and they say 5hp and 4tq gains
