Bad news is I'm not positive the FSR was the problem.

Did you have control of fan speed on either of the stage resistor? Or did you have your fan running on full blast all the time?

Just got home with my '03 330Ci. Sent it to the doctor for some spring cleaning/maint. Hmmm, this week:

- New MTech Bumper cover
- New headlight lenses and corners
- New xenon ignitor
- Replacement undertray/reinforcement plate
- UUC DSSR
- Rear pads and rotors
- Oil change
- New sunroof cassette (my 6yo daughter will be happy, she missed the open sunroof)
- New Michelin Pilot Super Sport (255/35-18)

Next on the agenda will be a full detail when it gets slightly warmer and a new windshield. Sorry about changing over from the snow tires so soon, it is my fault for the snow today.

And it gets so hot it needs a giant heat sink?
