My BMW 340 B58 build Sheet: tinyurl.com/2x5z2wnb
Something I did with mine that helped get it past that little last imperfection even after bending was put 2-3 metal washers under the top part of the bumper and putting the oem screws back in through them. This just raised the top of the bumper on that side up a few mm. Matched perfectly. Also raising those lowers the centre of the bumper just from deflection which matched the lower centre of the hood
Looks good to me, I would have not noticed that there was a fitment issue. Your detail shows on your builds. Enjoy BMW invasion, look forward to the videos.
🤙🏽
Quite an informative video Johnathan, I would therefore assume that the tolerance issues are the same or possibly worse with a carbon fibre hood as well. As a JDM enthusiast and the owner of a highly modified Infiniti G35 sedan with a substantial amount of carbon fibre including a vented hood and duckbill carbon fibre trunk, the dimensional accuracy of aftermarket carbon fibre parts is dependant upon the mould and type of carbon fibre used i.e. pre-impregnated dry carbon fibre vs. wet carbon fibre. In case you were unaware, pre-impregnated carbon fibre has the adhesive already applied and must be stored at sub-ambient temperatures below 10C or the adhesive would activate. Once the carbon fibre is laid out in the mould in can then be placed in vacuum formed bags and then put in an autoclave oven for curing.
Great video. I was about to buy the same hood for my F32 but I saw this video just before the purchase. I will now be chatting with the body shop to check the fitment before they paint it. Thank you for the good advice.
The best part of the GTS hoods are yeah they look fantastic but the airflow helping keep tempts down is 👌👌👌 i would say i spent a few hours on mine getting it to about 96% good fitment and I'm just content with that but yeah aftermarket will barely ever be perfect fitment.. unless its the Kies charge pipes which btw look so good on the B58
Thanks for sharing and duly noted 👍🏽 I had an issue with a genuine E92 M3 hood due to mid year change in 2011 with hinges. So even a genuine hood could give some issues.
Yup I’ve seen that as well
To have better fitment of aftermarket pars like Hoods, Fenders ext... i was told to get CAPA certified parts.
Interesting about the rug technique 🤣, wonder if my PPF would be safe, probably when warm. I had the same fitment issue on the same side. Ours look pretty similar as far as fitment issues. I was able to mess with the bolts on the top of the front bumper and also put some washers underneath the screws on the side where the top of the bumper needed to be raised. Also adjusting the latch really helped on that side. Definitely to be expected ordering after market parts
Mine is the passenger side, spent hours adjusting it. It’ll look good one day and another day it’ll look like shit lol. Like u said it’s a aftermarket hood, comes with it. Went to a body shop and the guy put a wooden stick under it and yanked it down, I thought he damaged it but that closed it a little more. But I don’t recommend that method at all😆
Thanks for this vid but I might leave my G30 hood alone until I consult my body shop. I’m OCD about fitment too but that’s a bit too much work for my liking.
Thsnk you, I was so close to pulling the trigger on the my F90.
amazing video. I have one on my f82
Can’t complain about the price considering how much oems go for . I can’t stand people who go for aftermarket parts then complain about the price , choosing beggars 🤷🏼♂️
Lol facts man
That og f30 wrap still best build your ever did to me love that look
Loved the look for sure, but lots of stuff I would do differently. I’ve learned a lot since those days.
Great video, is m3/m4 gts hood gonna fit m2? Or you need to order special part for m2? Keep it up!
Will you ever be putting different seats in it, I need a tutorial 😂 ps your first f30 made me want to get one, now we’re going m3 conversion
The manscaped lawn mower is 🔥
Do these hoods lower the engine temps,?
I took your advice about putting my f30 back to stock to sell it. It went super fast and I’m going to look at a e92 335i later today. I really hope that I can find that style of hood for the e92 because I really love it
Awesome!
Stoopid question but is it good to have the car in the rain parked with that hood?
No I left mine out for a while no issues. You can clean your engine bay with warm water to remove rust and such.
I want a gts hood so badly for my m2 it completely changes the front end look making it more square but looking at the forums kinda deters me from buying it.
I had a real one on my F80. Always slammed it shut per BMWs spec. The guy who owned the car after me cracked it.
i really dig that style hood
Is the vent safe for when it rains?
Great video ....very informative and helpful
Helpful video considering I’ve been interested in getting one but what’s the deal with the vent I’ve heard that you want to put a cover on the inside so you engine bay doesn’t flood is it something to worry about if I leave the vent fully opened and not put some kind of water protection on the inside
Is a vented hood not going to ruin your motor? i want this for bmw 330e
This car looking absolutely amazing 😍
Thanks man
@@ThicWhips 💪😎❤
Quick question man.. what do you use to edit your videos? B rolls etc.. !!?
letsss gooo bro is almost at 100k subs
The issue I’m having is the vent is hitting my cold air intake. It’s pissing me off and I can’t fix it
Aftermarket intakes don’t clear with GTS hood. Gotta dremmel the vent
do you have a dash cam installed? If so which make & model?
Did you have any issues with the fender cameras when adding the paint match fender reflectors? I've heard there might be issues with the wires and camera itself. Did you make a video of adding those?
the camera kinda gets in the way when pushing in the old reflector and removing the old glue, besides that, i had zero issues installing it
My seibon hood with the two vents I think look more tasteful than the overdone GTS style
I was looking at that one!
@@ThicWhips got my seibon carbon fiber hood from another guy half off, figment a solid 9 and very minimal fading. Best purchase I’ve made!!
On my gts hood its higher on the driver side as well lol
I have a 2016 F30 and am trying to find a new steering wheel. Any places you recommend to get one?
Aza auto wheel
what would you suggest if it's carbon fiber? wouldn't you run the risk of cracking it rather then bending?
Not much you can do there as far as bending
@@ThicWhips afraid of that, food for thought
Nice 👍🏽
Good education bro
Professor thic
Get the M3 fenders next
Could you do a review on one of those aftermarket lcd display steering wheels🤔😋
He’s done that a few vehicles ago. ruclips.net/video/pzktiSgOSa4/видео.html
Pretty sure he has an oem install and feature video which would be the same thing.
I did one on my m2, did two very in depth videos.
@@ThicWhips thanks, I really appreciate it, keep doing what you're doing, from one f30 owner to another 😉
All aftermarket hood are like this
True to some extent
Curse of the white car, man. You see every line of the car. If it was black or another darker paint these inconsistencies are better hidden.
Very true, much easier to get away with poor fit on darker paint
I personally think they’re super ugly. Just my opinion though. Love your build though John!
All good man, I think they are a nice option but honestly I’ll likely go back to stock
You getting older bro. No offense. I am too. You just start to appreciate the way the machine was engineered and tested. Tried and true.
No offense taken bro, Older = wiser 😁
@@ThicWhips most definitely most definitely.
Clean 340i. 🔥 btw.
What cover is that on the grill part of the hood ?
That’s gorilla tape lol
@@ThicWhips Lol if it works that’s all that matters. I will don’t the same to mine.
🤙🏽
