Oh and I've updated the 1st page of the post to list all current mods and maintenance

You had me really worried Brendan, so I threw them on the floor in the same configuration as Kalsharith took the photo of his for the pics of his DIY, they look exactly the same, direction and angle of turbo mounts and direction and angle of exhaust flanges as well as bungs all in the correct places

Will only know for sure when I try to fit them, but I'm slightly more confident now...

Have just printed Vinces guide to DP fitment and will follow that, DPs and Injectors are first, then I'll move onto the angel eyes

Can't wait to hear it with the Kittyless DPs

Thanks Socks, will remember, I do have small hands though, but prob not small enough, did you pull the headlights? or do it while they were in the car??

No need to pull headlights mate
There is a black cover on the top of the headlight that you can pry open, then reach into the wiring with two fingers and twist the old bulb to release it and remove... reverse the procedure to install

First pic in post 6 shows the black triangle cover

No worries mate just use a small screwdriver to pry it open from the front
Is literally a 10 min job (depending on how long it takes you to get the bulbs back in.... BBQ tongs make the job much easier hhahaha

Wasn't trying to stress you.
The right dp looked longer than normal and left one looked more of a tighter radius than normal.

It will sound good.

No worries, after all that I also noticed that the VRSF box also had " 3" downpipes for 135 and 335" written on the side, so should all be good unless somones thrown them in the wrong box, which is less likely than somone sending me the wrong ones, they're also the v2 which are clearly advertised as fitting RHD cars

Hoper, let me know if you want a hand (literally), with the angel eyes! I do have smaller hands and did my E90 ones (which I think are even harder to get to than E92)

cheers

Great mods and nice car mate. I changed my ae bulbs the other day. I cut my hands so bad I felt like I was gonna bleed out lol.

Lol wish it was my first go ...

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can manage to not mangle my hands

Thanks Satz, will be in touch if I have any trouble, pm me your phone number and I'll txt you mine, will be useful when the time comes to fit your suspension anyway

Can't wait to fit the injectors, DPs and AEs..bring on the weekend

[satz]

hoper,

PM sent with my contact number....

In the meantime, I remember having to use my wife's kitchen tongs to help turn the bulb when removing old, and when inserting new. Also IIRC, one of them is reverse-threaded...it is a BMW after all, can't be simple, right

I had a great DIY guide that I followed. I'll see if I can find the link and send it.

cheers
