I had to do it LOL ...

I knew it should and I really pushed the paper towel rather hard.



Its a nice winter day here ...

Yeah with these pads that is a huge difference!!! I remember my last set of 3pc and it took me a year to take them off for a deep clean and on the back you couldn't tell it was painted gray it was so bad.... I don't think these pads will cause it to be that bad in a year.

I just ordered it with the pads. No 10% off the lights though.

You're probably right on the moderate level thinking. But really, it's removing each wheel and then the 1,357 screws that hold the inner fender well in place. Once thats done your there! lol

As always thanks to Ben r33_RGSport for staying open on Saturday to do the install.

Joining the RGB DRL club as well…seeing Ben when he comes back from holiday. Guess the modding never stops even when you think you’re done.

Cleanest it’s been 5 days after a wash

My apologies as I should have done this...

The issue I personally saw was the fixed amber boards were a uniquely bold yellow much like the M4 CSL while the RGB Boards' preset Yellow/Lemon was not as bold and more light in nature. I did try to use the slider dial to get the color close and it was just not possible.

Ben was there and tried as well... and since I dont intend to use any other color I just stayed with the fixed boards.

Another shot in the day:

Makes me want to look at a board with a W WW controller so go OEM to yellowish as well.

Just took delivery of my third (and hopefully final) M8. Took a brief hiatus from the M8 with a couple X5M's (non-comp and then comp) and absolutely hated both. Spec'd this one in Brooklyn Gray with carbon exterior package and B&W - two options I neglected on the aforementioned cars. Regretfully, canceled the carbon race seats last second, and I'm kicking myself in the ass as I forgot how uncomfortable the standard seats are. Here she is with her stable mates.

Great variety there how do you like the Bentley? And whatever SUVs have you had that you can compare it too?

Thanks! Got the Bentley for the wife, and am super impressed with it. It’s more luxurious than the Urus, def not as fast but I do have the S model so it has a loud exhaust and 48V sway bar which keeps it flat in the corners. It feels solid and heavy when you’re driving, like a sportier yet more refined Range Rover. The Bentayga replaced our 2020 Range Rover P400, curious to see how it stacks up to the new BMW-powered P530 - mine finally lands in March after getting on the list back in October 2021.

I’m sure you’re wife is loving it. I got a 2022 GLE 53 Coupe for the wife and she’s loving it now. I drove it for the first two months and it’s the perfect balance between, comfort luxury and sportiness.

Major different to the M8 comp, but the BMW is just more fun. The Benz is great for any traveling we do above 30-45 minutes.

I think your three vehicles are a good blend in their respective classes.
