Boundless respect for anyone taking the time to film and document these sorts of DIY's for other enthusiasts. Thank-you! I did this on my old M52TU 523i some years ago and it was a real hand shredding affair.. took me most of the day but I got it done!

[@MyersMotors]

Oh boy, forgot about all that. I've got all the files for it, I'll try and throw that up on Thingiverse soon.

@@MyersMotors it's been 9 days and it still isn't out, are you super busy or something. When will you publish the model?

[@juancornetto8243]

That's an M52TU not M52.

You're correct.
