Sorry for late reply. Mainly exterior such as grilles, mirror caps, etc.

If u still need. Han Revolution (can search on sgcarmart) at AMK.

Not the cheapest I think but its one place where you can just drive in and do these little bits easily and quickly.

BMW mirror cap, if just stick on is easy. If need to remove existing cap, careful on breaking the glass.

Im sure they are thinking to remove the stalk, and change it to "Auto signal".

can tag it to detect steering wheel turn, navigation / map etc.

Lane departure warning is dependant on signal stalk.

Anyone know where I can find G30 LCI sunshades? Seems many of them need clips and tape, would prefer a straightforward magnetic clip on.

I got the window shades for G06 with these folks: https://laitovo.eu/en/catalog/cars/bmw
 

Workmanship is not too bad but IMO, if you want to seriously block out the IR/UV etc, go with a trustworthy source for solar films. I am on now on the fence to strip off the 3M Crystalline dark series and replace them using my regular installer as I can still feel the heat coming through during noon time driving.

For 1st 2.5 years of my Mini, I installed infratint with low VLT on Front Windscreen.

Despite low VLT, it does not have that black black look.

It really keep the car cool on hot afternoon.

That is not true. 

LDW is not dependent on signal stalk but "lane change warning" or "active blind spot detection" is.

Takes his staff 15 mins to strip the tint.

Then wait 1 hr for inspection at Bkt Batok.

It is another 1hr  for new tint.

If you’re starting to count your dollar bills, trying to figure out whether you should hurry up and buy your favorite BMW, you definitely shouldn’t be worried if you’re looking for a straight six or a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Most of these choices will most likely be kept in production past 2025. The 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engines will be slowly phased out and replaced by 2-liter mills with lower specs in the future, if there’s a business case for them. Otherwise, the hybridization of the range will solve most of the problems people might have with certain engines.
