Took some pics after a good wash.

Can see the drop of the KW HAS here and spacers.

I don't believe BMW could have done a better job, looks excellent. You could probably sell those enclosures.

Washed it for the second time in a week... HS reminds me of when I had a white E32..

Also gave it it's first oil change after the 1200 breakin change. At ~3500 miles now, the filter is tiny...

Thank you kind sir. It was a labor of love that took quite a bit of effort so don't think I will be building another one in a hurry. Installed it in the car yesterday and really happy with the fit and the overall sound of the additional sub and amp.

Will update my build thread in the next few days once I get some photos.

Fitted my AA mid-pipe and took the opportunity to paint the rear muffler today.

Looks and sounds so much better

Installed LED reverse lights and M valve stem caps.

The left is LED and the right one is still original for comparison. Installation and details over here: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1568480

I wish I had seen this last week. I bought a pair of LEDs for the reverse lights on my M2C and they didn't fit. They were the 7443 model. Some guides say that they are the same as the 7440. I just ordered a new pair that are T20 7440 with 2 contacts instead of 4. In the US it is safer to order from Amazon since they can be returned for free with no questions asked. If these don't work, I'll order the ones that you bought. Thanks for posting the DIY!

Very cool upgrade, I just ordered the same bulbs from aliexpress so it'll be no mistakes on product. Thanks!

Bimmercode runs on iPad or iPhone. Enough to code what I needed.

Where did you find the OBD port. I cannot find it on the drivers side. I've crawled all over it? Thanks
