I’ve had the opportunity to do a wide range of car modifications over the past few years. In this video I want to talk about some of the mods that didn’t work out and I’ll offer some alternatives so you guys don’t make the same mistakes I did. As I’ve gotten older, my preferences for car modifications lean on the subtle side. Reliability and daily drivability remain my top priorities.

Written step-by-step instructions justinbuice.com/blog/bmw-grinding-sound
If your BMW is making a grinding noise when you accelerate, the culprit is likely the parking brake cable retainer clip. The stock BMW clip is made out of plastic and becomes brittle with age. Over time, the pieces that hold the cables in place will snap off, allowing the cables to hang down and touch the driveshaft. At first, you will only hear it under hard acceleration, but eventually you’ll hear a constant grinding sound as the cables droop down.
Thankfully, a company called AGA tools developed an all aluminum replacement which should last the life of the car. In this video, I’ll show you step by step how to install it! The install is do-able, but requires crawling under your car and working in a frustratingly tight space. If you can do it yourself though, you’ll save a ton of money. On the forums, I’ve read posts of people being quoted as much as $1,300 for this job.

In this video, I summarize my 10 years of BMW ownership. The good, the bad, as well as some helpful resources for new owners. BMW’s can be incredible cars but can also be incredibly frustrating. If you’re able to do some of the work yourself, it is possible to own a BMW on a budget though!

The BMW Race Display Steering wheel is, for many, the ultimate interior modification. But does it live up to the hype? In this video, I’ll show you what it does, discuss what it’s been like to own long term, and give you my final thoughts after two years of driving.
In hindsight, this steering wheel is probably better suited for manual cars, or people who race competitively. Still, it’s a fun toy and has been a conversation starter at every car meet.

Is your pressure washer not turning on despite getting power? You may have a bad plug. Luckily they are cheap and easy to replace. No need to throw your whole pressure washer way! I got a replacement GFCI plug on Amazon for around $18 and replaced it myself in 5 minutes.

Written guide: justinbuice.com/blog/2023/10/3/how-to-replace-your-bmws-sticky-door-handles
In this video, I show you how to replace the sticky door handles on your F30 BMW 3 Series. This issue and the repair process is similar on many BMW models.
BMW likes to use rubber coatings on the high contact surfaces in their cars. The problem is, heat and other environmental factors eventually cause the rubber to break down, creating a sticky mess.
Kies Motorsports sells replacement handles that don't have the thick rubber layer, so theoretically, you'll never have an issue after installing them. I found that this fitment was just as good as the stock ones.

This G81 M3 Competition is owned by Swiss performance company, dAHler and was brought to the United States for a car show. It can't legally be driven on the road here, but I did have the opportunity to make this short video with it.
It supposedly handles and performs just like it's sedan counterpart, but with the extra storage and utility that you get with a wagon. It's a shame that BMW doesn't sell them here.

Kies Auto Show 2023 was a blast! This was our largest show to-date, and the first Kies event held at a drag strip. We are sad to learn that shortly after the show, Atco Dragway has permanently closed.
Big thanks to everyone who came out to support. It's great to meet you guys in person and to see your cars. We are already looking forward to next year's show!

Kies Auto Show is only a few weeks away and I hope you guys can make it! The show is Sunday, July 9th in Atco New Jersey.
This is a show that my friends at Kies have been putting on since 2018. It started out in the parking lot of Napa Auto Parts with a small group of people.
We outgrew that spot pretty quickly though, and the past two years have been at Bader Field, the old Atlantic City airport. Last year we had over 600 cars and people came from all over the country.
This year, the show will be hosted at Atco Dragway in Atco, New Jersey, so for the first time ever at a Kies event, you’ll have the opportunity to race your car if that’s something you’re into. If you plan to race, make sure you check the rules and regulations in the link below so you’re prepared. If you just want to come park your car and hang out with us, that’s cool too!
They’ve got a lot of cool stuff planned this year, and Dahler has even shipped their G81 M3 over just for the show. It’s the only G81 wagon in the US and after seeing a couple behind the scenes photos on instagram, there’s already a bunch of hype around this car.
The tickets are $40 for you and your car to be in the show, and $20 for spectators. The racing tickets are $200 and again, make sure you read the rules carefully so there are no surprises the day of the show. Like always, the proceeds will go to charity.

I finally got around to replacing my M Performance "Style" carbon fiber lip on my F30 340i. Last year, I hit a dear carcass on the highway and it ripped off the center portion of the lip.
Because I had installed it with self tapping screws, it ripped out one side and the lip dragged underneath the car. Luckily it didn't break off completely and hit someone.
This time around, I actually secured it with nuts, bolts and washers. It honestly wasn't much more work than the self tapping screws! If you're thinking about installing a lip on your car, this is the way to do it!

00:00 intro
01:08 why 50mm?
02:41 for photography
04:04 for video
06:04 low light
06:38 accessories
08:09 conclusion
If you’re into automotive photo and video and are looking to upgrade from your kit lens, or maybe you’re brand new to photography and aren’t sure what to buy, a 50mm lens should be high on your list. The model that I use is for Canon RF cameras, but every camera manufacturer has their own version of this lens.
You may hear it affectionately referred to as a “Nifty Fifty” or “Plastic Fantastic.” The point is, they are small, lightweight and affordable. The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 is around $170 brand new. Here are some links to affordable 50mm lenses, be sure to choose one that fits your camera body.
50mm is considered a “normal focal length,” meaning that it gives us a similar perspective to what we see with our eyes. That’s why photos and videos taken with a 50mm have a familiar look to them. Different focal lengths will change how a car appears in photos. If the lens is too wide, it can throw off the proportions of the car, making the hood appear too long, or making the wheels appear egg shaped. With focal lengths longer than 50mm, the car can appear smooshed from certain angles.
A photo taken with a 50mm lens will give the car the same perspective as though we were standing next to it and looking at it in person. Keep in mind that if you’re using a crop sensor camera, it will be more like 85mm which is still a popular focal length for shooting cars, you’ll just have to stand further back to get the same framing.
For those coming from a kit lens, the 50mm has one huge advantage, a large f/1.8 aperture. At f/1.8, the lens lets more light into the camera meaning you can shoot in low light without introducing as much noise or “grain” into the photo. It also gives you shallower depth of field where the car is in sharp focus with a creamy blurred background. If you’ve ever seen a professional car photo with a blurry background and wondered how it’s done, they’re using a large aperture lens like this.
The effect works for video as well. I use it often in my YouTube videos to isolate something in the scene that I want the viewer to focus on. If you check out my Car Wash DIY from a few months back, that entire video was shot on this lens.
Another benefit that a lot of reviewers skip over is it’s form factor. These lenses are tiny and hardly add any weight to the camera. That’s why it’s my go-to for car shows or meets where don’t want to lug around a heavy setup where the camera takes away from my enjoyment of the show. 50mm in general is an excellent all-purpose focal length. Beyond cars, it’s great for portraits, travel, and family get togethers.. any time I want to take professional looking photos but don’t want to bring a bunch of equipment with me, this is my go-to. This could almost, almost be my only lens.
Being that this is an entry level lens, the optics aren’t perfect, and a common issue with nifty fifty’s is color fringing where you’ll see green or magenta halos around high contrast areas. I notice it the most around the headlights where you’ll see that pink outline around the running lights. Adobe Lightroom has a de-fringe tool where you can easily remove this from your photos with a couple clicks. And for those of us just shooting for Instagram and social media, the optical performance is satisfactory. It’s not until you start zooming in on a high-res monitor that you’ll notice these shortcomings.
The 50mm is great for video as well. Every reel that I’ve ever made for Instagram has been shot with this lens. People will ask what lens I’m using and they’re shocked to find out that the videos are shot using something so inexpensive. Being that it’s so lightweight, it makes it easy to balance on a gimbal and allows me to shoot for long periods of time without feeling fatigued. Keep in mind that these 50mm lenses don’t have stabilization. If you’re shooting on a tripod, it’s a non-issue. But for any kind of camera movement, a gimbal is almost a necessity.

Last week we drove the 340i across the country on an epic road trip. From Michigan to Florida, a stop in Georgia for Import Alliance, then a surprise visit to my friend Austin in Tennessee.
Austin bought my E90 a couple years ago and he's still daily driving it to this day. It was cool to catch up with our friends and see my old car again!

For the past few weeks, I've been trying to get my 6WB digital cluster to work in my F30 340i. I have run into issue after issue and so far no luck. I wanted to give you guys a quick update and show you everything we've learned so far.
For those who are going from a 6WA to a 6WB, the process should be straightforward, basically plug-and-play. Since I was starting with the base cluster, my car was missing some of the wiring and the coding process is a little different.

The F30 340i offers spectacular value for money. It’s practical, reliable and reasonably quick. With a huge selection of mods available and a massive online community, it’s easy to see why these cars are in such high demand. In this video, I discuss what it’s been like to live with this car for the past two years.

In this video I show you how to change the spark plugs on an F30 BMW 340i. This process will be the same for the 440i and any B58 powered BMW. The install is pretty straight forward and I think it took longer to get to the spark plugs than it did to actually change them. Once you remove the engine cover, you’ll notice that the last spark plug is buried under plastic and foam, and taking the extra time to remove that stuff will make the installation of the plugs much easier.
If your car is higher mileage, I’d recommend replacing the ignition coils at the same time since you will have to take them out anyway. Since my car only has 50,000 miles and the coils I was looking for were out of stock, I opted to re-use the original ones.

The cool fall weather is setting in and I’m trying to take advantage of the last driveway car washes of the year. It occurred to me that I haven’t done a car wash video sine buying my 340i two years ago. In this video, I show you my process and the supplies that I use.
While I’m not a professional, and don’t even consider myself a detailing guy, I do enjoy my weekly car wash and try my best to improve my process each time.

In other markets around the world, cars have something called a rear fog light that gives your car better visibility from the rear in bad weather. In the US, we don't have rear fog lights, so BMW disables them from the factory.
Luckily, it's easy to enable them on US spec F30's. In this video, I show you how to modify your headlight switch and how to code the rear fog lights to make them work. It's a simple DIY that takes about 10 minutes, and best of all, it doesn't cost anything!

As someone who appreciates a nice car interior, the FR-S has always been a bit of a letdown. The interior feels cheap and dated, and the steering wheel has seen better days. I came across an eBay steering wheel that had great reviews and thought I’d give it a try!
It honestly exceeded my expectations and installation was super simple! This is a great affordable modification for these cars, and it’s something you can enjoy every time you drive your car!

In this video, I replace the battery in my BMW F30 340i. It was surprisingly difficult to find the correct battery for my car. The original part number had been discontinued, there was little to nothing in stores or online with matching specs, and information on the forums was contradictory or incorrect.
Luckily my local dealership had the battery in stock and it wasn't much more expensive than the batteries at the auto part stores. I wish I had just gone to the dealership first and saved myself the time and frustration. Keep in mind there is still a HUGE savings if you install and code it yourself rather than having the dealership install it. You will pay almost double if they install it for you.
If you're physically able to replace your battery at home (I'm not kidding, this sucker is HEAVY), you'll need to register the battery to let the car know that it has been replaced. I used Carly, but BimmerLink will work too. If you use BimmerLink and need to change the amp hours, you will need BimmerCode as well. With Carly you can do both in one app.

Love it or hate it, Instagram is a video sharing app now. After some hesitation, I finally caved and tried my hand at reels, applying my photographic knowledge to vertical video. In just over a month of posting daily reels, I’ve gained 20,000 new followers and amassed over 10,000,000 views. I’ve even made some money from Instagram’s Bonus program.
In this video, I show you the camera equipment I use, show you my exact camera settings, take you on a video shoot, and then teach you how to make a three tier reel in Adobe Premiere Pro. I’ll even show you how to export them in a way that preserves maximum quality when you upload them to Instagram.

I recently had the privilege of checking out my friend Bryan's G80 M3. He showed me the modifications he's done, we put it on the lift and compared it to a G20 M340i, then took it for a drive.
Even though I wasn't initially a fan of the car's looks, I was really impressed by how it drove, especially with the handful of performance upgrades that Bryan did.
With the automotive industry quickly shifting to EV's (and BMW being an early adapter of both electric and hybrid cars), this may be the last internal combustion M3 that we get.

Most modern BMW's are equipped with runflat tires and owners may be frustrated with the harsh ride, high cost, and limited options compared to standard tires. Like MANY other BMW owners, I ditched the runflats as soon as I could. Here's what I do if I get a flat.

Not all modifications work out the way that we hope, and this CSL trunk project has turned into a nightmare. I had multiple issues that resulted in water getting in and I had no choice but to revert back to the stock trunk.
While this has been a major headache and an expensive lesson, I don’t regret at least trying it. I learned a lot from this project, even if the most important lesson is knowing when to leave something stock.

In this video, I install a CSL style “ducktail” trunk on my BMW 340i. Initially, it wasn’t perfect and it was a lot of work to make it fit correctly. In my opinion though, it was totally worth it. It’s not something you see everyday and to the best of my knowledge, these trunks aren’t being made anymore. Huge thanks to Kies Motorsports for giving this to me (they are probably happy to have it out of there storage room [laughs]).
I wish I had a link for you guys, and if you happen to find one on eBay, I hope this gives you an idea of how to install it and what the fitment will be like. If you’re wondering why I didn’t reinstall the trunk carpeting, the trunk release handle didn’t fit quite right after the trunk was painted. It made the fitment of the handle a bit too tight and I broke a couple clips off of it trying to force it in. You can kind of see in the video that it’s not sitting perfectly flush. I may need to Dremmel that opening again and order a new handle. Also, the backup camera works, but the car is giving me an error which I’ll diagnose when I have more time. Ahh, cars.. every project is a learning experience 😆.

Blank buttons in your interior are a reminder that the original owner skipped some options. This innovative button kit replaces the two blank buttons on your steering wheel with functional M1 and M2 buttons. It’s essentially a wiring kit that allows you to change drive modes right from your steering wheel in addition to the toggle switch on your center console. Best of all, it doesn’t require any coding or soldering. It’s 100% plug-and-play and fully reversible if you ever decide to go back to stock.

The GT86, BRZ and FR-S were one of the most anticipated car releases of the 2010's. Toyota and Subaru finally gave enthusiasts what they had been longing for, a simple sports car for any budget. Initial reviewers loved the GT86's handling and simplicity.
But early buyers were quick to point out the GT86's biggest flaw, they just weren't all that fast. It didn't take long though for the aftermarket to find a solution, catless headers in a tune. In a previous video, we installed the Tomei catless UEL (unequal length) headers on our FR-S and today we're tuning it with the OpenFlash Tablet.
On the GT86 platform, OpenFlash is one of the more popular tuning solutions for this car. When you purchase the tablet, it includes downloads for a handful of tunes that are specific to the GT86, BRZ, and FR-S depending on how they are modified. We went with the stage 2+ tune since we have catless headers and are running 93 octane. While somewhat expensive, it completely changes the driving experience in out FR-S, especially at low RPM.

In this video, I fix the hairline crack in my BMW CSL style trunk. This trunk wasn't perfect when I got it, but it's been a fun project getting it ready for paint. Thankfully this was only a small crack and was simple enough for a novice like myself to fix!

In this video, I test fit my CSL style trunk in preparation for getting it painted. Looking into my YouTube comment crystal ball, I know this isn’t going to be everyone’s favorite modification, and that’s OKAY! The build thus far has been rather conservative and I wanted something to help differentiate my car from every other F30 (and I’m a huge fan of these trunks on ANY car).
Many of the mods that I've done so far have been easy - take a brand new part out of the box and install it on the car as-is. I like that this one has a little bit of challenge built in.
