I originally received wrong part which could very well be user error. I needed trim for heated and I received non heated. So getting an exchange going.
Not sure what to do about paddles. I hardly use them if at all. So may leave those as is or maybe just wrap them?

Tough one. How about both?😜. The laser lights really impressed me in the winter dark and wet rainy roads. Really cool how they work up against gps, so they light up towards turns before i start turning the wheel because the car knows there is a turn up ahead🫶. The seats is allso just amazing comfort in, i think they are way over the comfort seats i had in my previous F11😀

Yea your right. I have a few minutes to make the decision. On one side may as well just do it all at once. The other side says do I really need to spend more money 😀
