Get a call from my GF who drives the X daily now that she went to grab a coffee and the car lost all power. She limped it off to the side and called my dad (retired Volvo/bmw tech) who went to get her and told me it feels like it lost its throttle body.
Grabbed the throttle body from work and a scanner from a buddy and sure enough the throttle actuator took a dump. This thing has been kicking my ass pretty well the last few weeks (radiator again, and a small coolant hose that was out of stock) but now I've replaced every single hose and put an original radiator in it so hopefully I'm out of the woods. |
Holy friggin crap Olek - another radiator, and a TB this time? Your LeMans didn't even kick your ass this much
|
I haven't even driven it in the dark yet. Sad right? But if the wall was any indicator, it should be good. Yes they are nightbreakers and stock halogen fogs. I need to upgrade the fogs now.

Easy upgrade that increases halogen fogs output by over 50%, makes then look like OE Xenons color/output. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...9-65-watt.html |

New Spyder headlights :

^^If you retrofit your stock xenon headlight projectors, or retrofit an aftermarket projector they will - and the ballasts will mount under the headlights just like stock as well
Glad everyone is upgrading their pre-facelift front ends with the Spyders lately :) |
Watch out for strong bulbs. Had 100w bulbs fitted and it burned my connectors. Had to reconnect them with female lugs. They also damaged my wires by cracking. I will have to open up my lights and replace the wires with silicon heat resistant wires. What a bummer.
