I believe he’s located in Spring so idk how far that is from you lol

Truth be told, Just want someone to inspect the kit and if possible meet up at a shop that knows turbo’s/superchargers to see if it’s worth his asking price or if it will be needing a rebuild

I’m also in contact with VFengineering to see if we could potentially get a group buy going here through this forum... hoping they say yes otherwise the Stage 1 active auto is mine

That's probably wishful thinking... lol
I don't think most of us have a few grand just lying around waiting to be spent!

There are other reasons not to get it like added weight, complication, and the fear of more force on the RACP.

In addition to cost and other cons mentioned above I’d like my car to stay NA.

A little heat and butyl tape should work wonders here boss

Bought some butyl tape, but was worried it wouldn’t fit in that small of a gap. Bought some 3M emblem and trim adhesive, and it’s holding. Says water and heat resistant so we shall see...

You can probably work knead it to be thin and pliable enough to just adhere the trim to the body. I’ve heard good things about that 3M product, hope it all works out!

Keep finding folding M3 mirrors over seas and no one wants to ship me them

Does anyone know if E9X folding mirror motors are the same as E39 M5/E46 M3 folding mirror motors?

They fold the same way and share the same mirror glass & housing basically.... just wondering if there’s another alternative to this lol

Been a while since I posted last, I searched for battery threads and these kept popping up. Short story below.

Need a new battery for my 2005 330i ZHP, the factory Bosch batteries seem to be discontinued at least at the local retailers. What is a good alternative, or do i just bite the bullet and buy whatever BMW feeds me, and an excessively marked up price?

The one that I just pulled out is model: 94R-730B

Pep Boys carries them. The H7 size is the equivalent.
