cheers

I there,
Yes I did installed as the torque converter is part of the BMW Performance Power kit for cars with automatic gearshift.
Apparently this torque converter can handle higher values of torque and therefore avoids unnecessary problems caused for this increase of power/torque.

Always pretty interesting for me!

What's this hose right beside the new fan?

thats the pipe that is connected from the IC

Fabi189 · 04-02-2012, 10:47 AM

Oh, so Part No. 1 is replaced by this pipe?

Is it more solid than the original one?

I just ask, because mine is connected with the original pipe (Part No. 1)

Thats correct.
From what i heard the original can handle without real problems up to 360-370nm.
This can handle a little bit more up to 400-410.

Torque converter is a part that normally gets affected with "hard" remaps

Not fan of difussers but maybe in the future....

This is standard bi-xenon with angel ....

Teigland · 10-19-2012, 11:05 AM

its a replica bmw performance CF roof spoiler.

I know it has angel eyes, have it on mine too, but i was thinking of LED bulbs to match the xenon
