Got my blood pumping! Went for a spirited drive on some winding country roads, and powered thru some tight corners! Kicked down on some straights, the X had an itch that needed to be scratched!I do love this thing! I've been browsing over on M5BOARD. The last couple of weeks, I've had a real bad case of (want one!) Maybe I'll start the search and scratch that one next year...

Kept me out of an accident. Man, these brakes make a lot of dust but they sure work nice

Filled up today, nothing exciting so far lol.

I found a set of 2002 OEM xenon projector headlights for sale about 100km away for cheap, but I'm having issues finding a thread on converting my halogens over.

Any insight guys? I'll start a new thread later on if nothing here, but I'd imagine just swap the low beam connector to match the ballast and maybe an inline resistor for dash lights?

Thanks all

Jack, if it's like my e46 retrofit... swap the connectors over to the Xenon projectors. Then install everything and test. The dash lights will come on and you may have some flicker. Now you need to code the LKM to know it's had Xenons retrofitted. Worked perfectly on our E46... which these vehicles seem to be pretty similar to electronically.
