$400-600 is robbery. I'll install it for half that. I've done a hand full of FMIC installs on N54/55's.

Shoot me a PM if your interested.

I was just about to purchase an FMIC and needed the same thing.

Slightly off topic, but what are you guys doing about the RECON requirement when it comes time for your safety inspection?

Most inspection stations wont even notice the FMIC through the front of the bumper. RECON is mostly enforced for obvious changes in suspension and exhaust.

If you need the FMIC installed, shoot me a PM

Nick is going to install my VRSF DP, CP and FMIC next month! I can't frickin' wait. It's going to be awesome.

Oh yeah, I talked to Radmotorsports just for shits and grins, and they quoted for both items, $600-800 for a 6 hour job. They said they couldn't guarantee exact fitment and weren't going to be responsible for rattles or something. Yet, their shop is BMW heavy among the employees.

Hey Darryl! Can't remember if you wanted to install your parts on the 3rd or the 4th. I think David(335is808) needs his installed on the 4th, so if the 3rd is good with you, just let me know.

I've gone to RADS before for some welding and dyno pulls. They perform good work but are just way overpriced IMHO. They have a huge shop with expensive equipment, more than likely the reason they charge on the high side for installs.

Let me know brother. Looking forward to getting your parts installed

Hey David! Hope all is well with that sexy IS!! Just wanting to confirm that you have received the DP's and CP from BMS? Let me know bro!!

The 3rd would be fine. I wasn't expecting you to be available until the weekend anyway. Pm me for your time availability and contact info.
