In November 2018 I picked up my 2018 Hybrid F60 moving from a Red R52. The holidays brought me some upgrades that I thought I would share with the group. My F60 is Silver by the way. In case you like any of the items I provided where you can get them. Mud Flaps $37.99 Dash Cover $29.99 Rear Bumper Pad $23.99 Dash Phone Mount $17.49
(OK... as I was typing that I now notice your fuel gauge is the original F60 'segmented' version, so I'm assuming yours is a previously-enjoyed early '18 F60, and you're not actually on pace to do 120,000 miles/year! But either way... congrats!)
Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing. Now I just need to convince my wife to let me buy some of these things!
My 18 is also a “new to me” car and was actually built in November 2017. However, I have the newer fuel gauge. I wonder if the fuel gauge was a factory option? Sorry for being off topic, just curious!

I also have a 2018 car that was built in 11/2017. The newer fuel gauge was part of the post-July 2017 update to the vehicle and not an option. There were other changes to 2018 models at that time, too... one that comes to mind is the moving of the driving mode selector from a ring around the gear selector to a toggle switch in the center cluster.

Questions on the mud flaps. Any drilling involved? Also did you have to remove the rear wheels for installation? The reason I ask is no jack.
Thanks
Those flaps look identical to the ones I put on our 2018 F60. The instructions have you removing and reinstalling plastic rivets/Xmas trees/screws, but I used 3M automotive trim tape to simply stick them on. No issues with them staying on, and I didn't have to remove the wheels or buy other fastening hardware. Sure beats the OEM $$$ and install in my book.
I installed mine (mudflaps). I don't remember 100% about the drilling but I think you had to drill one hole for each one. I think, don't quote me on this. You do have to remove the rear tire, at least it would be alot easier to get the job done. I used to have a BMW 325xi and kept the jack and tools, those work perfectly on the mini. I went to a junk yard and picked up a couple more jacks and another tire iron, so I can rotate the tires myself easily. I also plan on changing my own oil.
