Anyone with radars experience that now? Anyone who gets the recall fix, let me know if you experience that too. I just parked and will go back out there in 10 minutes to see if it's still on. The light on the shifter is on too which means the car is not asleep yet and that usually turns off after a few minutes.

Maybe I should piggy back on another fuse so my battery doesnt die.

I piggybacked my Valentine with these instructions in the DIY section.

No issues to date, been about 3 years now. Hardest part for me was grounding it.

TwinturboPG, I was going to do that awhile back when I first got the car, but I thought it was a little too much work so I just found one in the glove box and grounded it.

My car goes to sleep between 5-10 minutes, I have comfort access and forgot to keep the key away. Everything is good with my setup, just something new since the recall on the battery

IMO the fusebox tapping method is better.
It is reversible and E93 and M3 (no moon roof) can use it as well

For local guys looking for a cheap quad exhaust set up, I'm located around Temecula murrieta area.

Custom quad exhaust with OEM pipping, secondary cats deleted, magnaflow true X pipe muffler, and 4 X 3.5" stainless steel tips. Tps are currenlty plasti dipped black, easily removable. This came out of 2008 E90 335i, I also have the matching diffuser for the mtech bumper. Local only since it's a one piece system. Sorry I dont have any sound clips

Finished wrapping my interior today. Much better than the burlwood.

Sorry for the large panoramic.

[byoung8]

so what are the benefits of wrapping your windows white? haha jk, looks good

Always wondered how saddle will look like with CF...not bad at all!

[smares21]

Thanks. The saddle with cf looks great in person. My car is tasmin, so the green with brown and then the burlwood (which is a different brown than the seat brown) with black plastic was just too many disparate colors going on. The CF just blends very nicely with the black.

If I had to do it all over though, I probably would have just bought new trim pieces. I found out with my employee pricing, I can get the entire trim (except center console) in the gloss black or brushed aluminum for about $300. I would still do the center console in CF. I really like it.

Wow, that came out really good!

If anyone in SD wants to do it, get your material and I will give you pointers that I learned along the way, plus you can borrow my heat gun (makes it 10x easier to get around the complex curves).

I got the expensive 3m DiNOC, but the cheaper stuff works too. I ordered 60" x 48" and had quite a bit left over. This is a great site to get the cheaper stuff:

The Precut 48" x 72" (120cm x 180cm) for $50 would probably be enough for 2 people to split.

I still have my extras of black cf enough for 1 interior for $20 local pickup

I met up w/ Jackson on Tuesday and got some coding done and the Alpina trans flash on my e93. Let me tell you the car feels much different now. The shifts are so quick and seamless. The drive home was exciting, i was in awe at how much better it felt. I kept thinking that THIS is how the car should have came from the factory. I haven't put a lot of miles on it yet but it's really nice. Goes perfect w/ my Jb4 tune. I especially like how the gauge cluster now tells you what gear you are in. Jackson thanks for the great deal on the coding and flash. This is the best bang for buck mod you can get on a 335i by far!!

Highly recommend BMW OEMshop. Parts came quickly, fit perfectly, and color match was spot on.
