No. The China ones from eBay. Looks quality but we will see. If they screw up I am definitely buying the others but these look and are stainless.

Ok, yes they look very close to the OEM ones and some people were asking about the sizes in the past and just making sure they line up.

Dont know much about the China ones. watch the carbon fiber as heat cycles might make the gel coat change as I think they might not be using UV coatings or high heat coatings. That's my guess.

Looks like It’s from China. Won’t be getting anything from there for a while until the Virus slows.

Performed some cold weather maintenance by checking the oil, brake, coolant levels, and topping off the windshield washer fluids. Hopefully I’ll be able to give Amnesia the CM a good hand wash and shine soon!

That virus, like many of it's kind, doesn't live on inanimate objects for very long. It's actually fragile, compared to something that produces spores. You cannot "catch" this corona virus off of a car part shipped from China.

Not saying you can catch it by getting product at all! The country is still somewhat on lockdown from Chinese New Year. Factories are still not operating, shipping ports not at full staff, just to get the goods will be slow. That was my point.

I oftentimes deal with infectious disease transmission...so that angle was my natural assumption. I imagine you're correct, things may be slow for a while.

Added Bimmer-Tech Wireless Apple CarPlay
NON NAV car
NON touch screen

Works really well and the sound quality better than the MINI Bluetooth.

I followed marco-sd's lead and got the Union Jack tail lights. I also put some new wheels with wider summer tires on.

Engine Air Filter

What did I do to my wife F60 today?

Replaced Engine air filter and topped up with distilled water the antifreeze/coolant tank.

You should try the KN drop in filter. I found it breathed better, especially on hotter days.
