Interesting. I hadn't seen those stem covers. Turns out you can get some BMW themed ones in different colors as well. Hmm... Should I do red to match the brakes, blue to match the rest of the car, silver for the wheels or black for the tires...

Colored M stem covers

Yes it is. I bought 3 types and this was the winner because it is small enough that it didn’t protrude as much as the others which looked out of place. This was very subtle but still pops 👍

That product description and pictures is absolutely amazing:
“Note: this is a non functional plug”
Showing guy smoking on a product the lighter
Buy for your motorcycle, car, truck or steamship.

The G05 has the same weak, noisy, underpowered, and idiotically programmed air-conditioning as our E70 did, in stark contrast to the industrial grade A/C in my Suburban. In "AUTO" mode I noticed that the G05 tries to direct too much air to the large vent on top of the dashboard near the windshield, which creates a ton of noise and very little airflow or cabin cooling. It works much better in manual mode with the center-flow vents directing air onto your face, but even then it's still weak and noisy, and barely adequate on a nearly 90F day. And summer hasn't even officially started yet...

Anyhow, a WeatherTech sunshade to the rescue. These are great at keeping the heat out, and actually lets the A/C get caught up in a reasonable amount of time. My wife said she didn't need it, but just changed her tune when it's been hot this week.

Literally
