I think you had brought this up a while back, and we found out that the pre-LCI V8's are different than the LCI, so this may not be a huge amount of help. My 4.8is doesn't have as many hoses as...

Funny, my 4.8is 1-2 upshift is the opposite of harsh. It's super smooth but also pretty slow lol. I have already done the full kit you quoted from FCP Euro (at this point, I've sent about $10k their...

My guess is that one of the ribbon cables popped loose at some point, or was never secured during your installation. I did the same replacement and the ribbon cables are very finnicky, and I remember...

Funny you should ask, because I just re-covered my headliner yesterday. It took me the entire day and yes....it's a big pain. I did the same job on my R53 mini with no sunroof a few months ago and...

Good way of going about it! I got mine mainly as a project and it’s been a ton of fun to work on. A lot of the money spent was maintenance but also “while I’m in there” items, so thankfully not all...

Going on 2 1/2 years with mine. I think the last time I charged it was 7-8 months ago, and it's still showing full charge. :) It's saved my ass a few times.
