Saturday will be a busy day of installing Flex Fuel wires, BMS Angel Eye LED's, and the BMS OCC.

Haven't even asked Nick if I could ask for a hand for the OCC yet lol. Thanks for reminding me!

I installed the BMS LEDs and the trick to keeping that pile of spaghetti together and out of the way was to put velcro on the larger capaciter or resister, attach it to the middle of the cover going Rt > Lt on the left light and Lt > Rt on the right light, then leave a couple of wires disconnected from the light and small heat sink...put the cover on at the two tangs at the "bottom" and then plug the wires together and tuck into the inboard side...not outboard where the wires could interfere with the adaptive lights...I think BMS should have done a bit more R&D as all the wires and heavy little metal things are a PITA. Double check your seal with a mirror..

Let me know how your OCC goes as I'm still waiting to do mine...

No problem man. Just offering since they only thing I don't have is a lift at home.

Thanks for all the insight man, some good advice right there, should help out. I will keep you posted on how the OCC turns out, from the sound of it, it should be easier than the lights lol

Let me know whichever day is better if you wanna give me a hand, I'll help you with the spoiler, and we can knock out the OCC so you can get a handle for the BMS version. I have heard it's decently easy.

Upgrading my brakes. Hawk HP+, BMW Performace Rotors (havent ordered yet), ER brake lines, Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid. And I still have my OCC, pedals, and matte black 135i badge to install. I've had those for a while though, lol.

Don't worry, we'll make sure you are setup and ready to go with all the stuff you got.

Remember, only thing I don't have at home is a lift That's what jackstands are for.
