KEVIN88GT · 07-29-2007, 09:46 PM

how hard was it to install the pedals? where did you get them and how much? Thanks.

fizzle · 07-29-2007, 10:02 PM

the hardest was the brake pedal...i purchased it from Circle BMW for $130 shipped.

KEVIN88GT · 07-29-2007, 10:03 PM

what did you use to drill? How long did it take you?

Bimmer335i07 · 07-30-2007, 08:09 AM

Nice! I'll take a better look at everything at the next meet.

Yo Marc, which meet will you be going to? The one in Queens or the one at Rockland Lake, NY?

fizzle · 07-30-2007, 08:20 AM

yea it looks great! i love the LUX. right now my baby is at BMW getting serviced. ALOT! there is a long list of stuff: brake flush, steering wheel lock icon, replace cup holders, replace both a pillars, replace drivers b pillar, replace inner drivers door panel, and something else that the guy said is due. they have a neat key reader that tells them the services due. kinda cool....anyone have one for sale?? heehe

Swoop · 07-30-2007, 08:26 AM

I don't understand why wires needed to be cut on this mod. To get my sunglass holder illuminated, all I did was keep the cig lighter behind the console and glued the 2 led lights to inside of the sunglass tray. Works perfectly...plus I get to keep the access plug in case I want to hardwire a PS3 or V1

well i didnt need the cigarette lighter so why not just cut it? its not a big deal....

mds82 · 07-30-2007, 11:36 AM

We used a Titanium drill to drill through the break pedal, it only took 20-30 seconds to go through each hole.
