I also ordered them a few weeks back. Since it’s heavier clothes season I haven’t really needed them, will give them use once in a T shirt more often.

Anyone have a good sunglasses holder solution? i have Maui Jim sunglasses and they're a little larger than standard. i keep them in the door pocket now, but would be nice to have them more protected, in their own spot.

I rarely valet my car but the few times I have, I don’t worry about what is stored inside that small compartment because people always focus on the large glove compartment on the passenger side.

In fact when I first picked up my car I thought the fuse box was behind that cover.

Here's an extremely minimal accessory that took me a few tries to find. If you either don't have the wireless charging pad or don't want to cook your phone with it, you can charge your phone with the USB connector next to it. Here's an extremely short cable with exactly the right configuration: a straight USB-A connector on one end and and a right-angle USB-C connector on the other end. It was $5.00 from a company called Tackform that mainly makes phone mounts. They have Lightning and micro USB versions as well. I tried two other cables from Amazon that didn't work. The first had a right angle USB-A connector which was sticking up in the air preventing the sliding cover from closing. The second had a USB-C connector that didn't have any space between the right-angle connector and the rest of the cable, so it didn't clear my phone case.

I like my coiled charging cables that extend to 3 feet so you don’t have to unplug your phone to use it.

The phone oven seems to be more of an issue if using the phone as a conduit, e.g. for music, while charging? Idk, i gave up early one with the phone heater.

i've played around with phone charging too. i wanted to use the higher speed port under the arm rest, but ran into two issues. One, finding a one inch charging cord. Two, when setting the phone (iPhone 11 here) on it's side to fit it in the armrest slot, if you rest your arm, it will push the buttons on the phone in such a way as to disconnect your music and alert the iPhone SOS feature.... am guessing that's not what the SOS on iPhone is intended for.

Thanks for sharing this. I've done the trial and error for previous cars before, and it's time consuming.

I recently received the black version of your seat belt pads. They aren't that stiff and definitely are more comfortable where the belt touches my neck.

Thanks for the information!

How do I remove this for replacement?

First time to post...just purchased my 2020 Z4 M40i about 2 weeks ago. I've already replaced mirror caps, kidney grills, and exhaust tips, but I want to replace the front bumper trim and can't figure out how to get them off...any help?

Has anybody replaced their roll bar covers with gloss black? If so, where did you find them?

I learned about it at the Performance Center. That's where they put the key fobs for the fleet. That way people can just get in the cars and drive and there's less likelihood they get misplaced.

I want to drop in here and recommend the fitted "AutoTech Zone Sunshade" available on Amazon for under $35 shipped and which I think is pretty decent quality: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PJVXPT4

It also works nicely in conjunction with the FITCAMX dashcam recommended in this thread and which I just installed (I'll wait to see if it rattles) but would so far recommend as well.
