Tell the Admins to give you a raise as a Mod, and cop a set...
GL,mD
Yeah... I'm really leaning toward them!

LMAO - regarding that raise, 20% x $0 is still $0!

What??? You're getting $0??? That's more than I'm getting!

I like the 214 too. I like some aftmarket wheels too but there is something about OEM (look) wheels. I even like other BMW wheel combinations like using the X6M wheels on an E70. The pics in the link look good.

I've solved several of the OPs issues. Removed the visor stickers using Goof Off. Had someone in Atlanta "code" the car so I can fold/unfold mirrors with the remote, close windows/sunroof with remote, and close the tailgate with remote.

What's BMWs logic behind the fog light turning on when you turn. I remember seeing that mentioned before but i'm not sure if I ever saw the reason for it.

assisting the cornering lights, when you turn, it allows better visibility into the turn. Works as advertised.

It really does work well, but still looks dumb.
