I'll double check if it is the ignitor or ballast or bad grounds. I highly doubt its the bulb. I'm leaning towards the ignitor

Some pictures and some info.
Friday Night:
Kalim and I tackled getting the 330i subframe and parts ready to be dropped early saturday morning. We first disassembled the brakes and ebrake shoes. The calipers were taken left hanging so that we did not have to bleed the whole system again. We then removed the driveshaft and the subframe was basically ready to be removed after detaching some sensors off the chassis.
After friday night meet, we finished up by putting in the new diff cover with new bushings on the M3 LSD. Parts dept forgot to give me the drain and fill plugs for the LSD. Luckily Kalim had a spare set for his own car that he graciously use. (I owe him new plugs. :)).
Saturday:
Starting a little later around 10:30am, we manage to drop the 330i subframe and get it out. Miles helped and started to assemble the M3 driveshaft.
We then started to build the m3 subframe to install in. The ebrake shoes gave us some trouble installing but once that was squared away we managed continue on without too much difficulty.
We ran into a couple of issues when we were doing the swap. My extended studs were STUCK on. I couldn't get them off. I think I will just buy new ones. Also, the M3 rear end swap I have, has grey plug vehicle speed sensors. My car has blue plugs. The blue plugs are 02+ cars and the grey plugs are -02. I either have a faulty sensor or incompatbile sensors communication as my speedo does not work and I have DCS/ABS/Brake lights on.
Another issue is the input shaft seal is leaking. It's not completely dripping, but its something I need to address soon.
The heatshield manage to get a little bent during installation and was hitting something on the driveshaft while first test drive, that cause a loud obnoxious rattle while driving. That has been solved so there are only two more issues to deal with before I get an alignment.
Thank you very much to Kalim and Miles for all their hardwork and help!!.
I blame Kalim for all this. This ZHP was suppose to be stock when I bought it.. :facepalm

Good thing they came through or I would have had to have done that e-brake mess on my car, too. :roflQuote:
