1M Side Markers Working Now...
I finally was able to get my 1M Side Markers to light up and operational now. Local BMW dealership (where I purchased the 1M front-end conversion parts from) service department reversed the polarity in the harnesses for me (free of charge; I had other work done so they made money).

Details on what? For Front-End conversion you will need to go back and read through this thread (its not that long). I've documented all that I could.
For getting the 1M Side Markers to light up, I didn't do the work, but I believe it was simply a matter of having the right tools to pop the pins (wires) out of the harness, reverse them and put them back into the harness (clip) again -- then clip/connect it to the 1M Side Marker. It had to be something along those lines and as simple as that because they didn't charge me for it. |

I also got my aFe Cold Air Intake installed today. Thanks Harold for hooking me up!!!
I would have installed it myself, but I've been crazy busy at work and just little to no free time any more these days. Plus every year I swear I am going to get a Heater for the garage so I can work in there over the winter and I never do -- ugh! |

I had a walk around video posted on post #127 but I think I needed space since and removed it. I still have it on my computer I think. It wasn't *that* great, but that is all I had/have. If you hadn't seen it, PM me. I have been insanely busy at work since mid-January; long hours, working weekends too and winters around Philly are crap. Maybe when Spring is officially here. Car is going back into the Shop in a week or two to get a Quaife LSD installed.

In my opinion there is no question, go for the manual transmission. I *ONLY* got STEPTRONIC for the Mrs. In 2009 when I got my 135, BMW didn't have the DCT option for a 135 yet, so if you wanted paddles you needed to go STEPTRONIC. Since I needed auto for the wife, I was definitely springing for the paddle option. In DE events, STEPTRONIC is insanely easy to drive, which does allow you to focus on other aspects of your driving (line, braking, etc.), but I'll be happy when my dedicated Porsche track car with a proper manual transmission is done to flog that out on the track.
IMO, BMW may be the "Ultimate Driving Machine", but with all the electronics they keep adding to their cars they are effectively taking the "driver" out of the car. Again, this is just my opinion. I am not looking to start a "religious war" here. Its my thread so my opinion. If your opinion differs, great, more power to you. |

Quaife LSD
Thanks Harold for hooking me up! I got it installed this past Tuesday and love it!
Also, got my stock HD radio replaced under warranty (ton of dead pixels in the two-line message display) and got the battery cable recall performed while it was in. |

No, unfortunately I haven't registered for that event yet. Potomac PCA is hosting aren't they? I haven't instructed with them yet and probably too late to do so now. I am planning on running at The Glen later in May with Chin Motorsports (instruct for them); that is unless something comes up at work -- been crazy busy this year so far. BUT, not complaining, just saying...

Next on the "To-Do" list is to get brake cooling ducts back on my 1 since the 1M front-end conversion plastic bits behind the front bumper took that away (doesn't have provisions for them) AND to get a larger oil cooler.
Is the larger Dinan oil cooler worth the money? Any feedback or recommendations are welcome. At least according to the Info Center in my BMW Performance steering wheels, oil temps are were borderline high last August when I was at The Glen. |

Sk8fe, I would hit up Fred at Evolution Racewerks and see if he can give you a good price on either of their Oilcooler set ups.
You could get a dual oil cooler set up from them for the price of the dinan single. The 1M front end also comes with the proper ducting to support the dual oil cooler. The second cooler would just go in place of the 1M second radiator and use that ducting. |
