Hi, wanted to ask if anyone with a November 2018 build have good success or issues with the install? This seems troublesome with adjustments for good fit.

I have a September 2018 and the trunk install (no foot sensor) was uneventful. No major adjustments needed and everything is still working really well.
This really helped soften the closing. Thanks!
The one thing I still need to figure out is why the trunk doesn't open on the first try after it has been closed for a little while. I can hear the trunk unlocking but the lid does not come up. I have to press the button again and then the trunk opens. I thought it was related to the open strength setting but I followed the instructions and made the opening strength 5 (holding the black button in the hub) but it is still doing the same thing. This doesn't happen in subsequent trunk openings unless it is closed again for a little while. Any thoughts?
MAJOR ISSUE WITH FRUNK KIT
For those of you whose frunk doesn't close all the way--I filed the screw holes on the strut brackets so I could move the bracket forward so the frunk could close all the way. All started out good until I had to calibrate the hood. First it would close and latch all the way, but wouldn't open. I could hear the latch unlock, but the hood didn't go up. So I lifted the hood to help it, but it wouldn't open. So I manually opened the hood and then tried to close it. I'm not exactly sure how/when it happened, but during the process of trying to get the hood to open and close and synced properly, there was a point where the hood was closed and didn't open and when i used the app to try and open it, it seems as if it was trying to close. Apparently, it pulled so hard to close that it pulled my hood into my windshield cracking my windshield! I was so pissed! Contacted Hansshow and requested a refund and cost to replace my windshield as I thought it doesn't pull hard enough to damage anything (like a hand caught in the frunk). I am totally sick about this as my car is only a month old. So be extra careful as it could result in major damage to your car!
Edit: So in thinking how my windshield could have cracked, I think when it was trying to close when the hood was already closed somehow moved or bent the hood hinges, because when the hood did open, it was closer to the windshield and broke the windshield when it opened fully. I've attached the factory struts again and the hood at the windshield is now below the level of the side fenders and the front gap at the front of the car to the bumper is twice as big as it was before.
Wow, that sucks.. Im wondering why your hood is so far back?? Did you happen to loosen the hinge bolts to cause the hood to slide back? You only need to adjust the strut hinges.
I tried to install the frunk myself and turned out to be nightmare with the uneven hood a week ago. Today, the installers came out to fix my frunk and install my trunk + foot sensor. Took them 10-15 mins to fix the frunk problem (had to adjust to almost every bolts attached to the hood due to the poor design of the car) and 2.50 hrs to install the trunk & foot sensor. At the end, it was worth to pay the installers to do the job.

What did they charge for the frunk adjustment? I’m wondering if that would help people out here to maybe get an installer to help fix their misalignments.
installer adjusted the bolts on the hood (as circled in photo). If the top bolts didn't work, installer needs to adjust the bolts at the bottom (as shown in the bottom circle which I didn't have to). afterward, installer went adjust the two bolts in the front (see photos). The process can repeat itself until both sides are level.
Since the installers have plenty of experiences leveling the hood, I was glad they came than for me to play with it for hours. So far, the installers have seen less than 10% of the M3 with the uneven hood which were fixable by them.

My certified Hansshow installers from the Bay Area traveled down to Southern CA last week (LA and San Diego) to do M3 installation. I don't think Hansshow has a certified team in Southern CA yet. You may want to contact Willam at Hansshow for a referral in Southern CA.
