There were no installation instructions included. REGARDING THE FRONT BUMPER: (1) The sun: By the time we were cooking on the front bumper install, we were literally cooking. It was around noon time. (2) The headlight washer system. The plastic pieces that attach to the retracting headlight washer nozzles are different from the stock ones. Don't get them mixed up. You need to figure out which is for the left, which is for right, and what the top and bottom of these plastic pieces are. Installing the plastic covers are the most difficult task, because the spring that holds the headlight washers are very strong. (3) The black plastic shield that protects the engine compartment does not match up with the M-Tech front bumper, because the bottom center portion of the M-Tech protrudes much lower. An additional piece of plastic had to be attached to the center 2/3rds of the OEM shield, which was then drilled in 4 spots where push clips would eventually be installed. (4) The fog lights: New fog lights are included with the M-Tech kit. This is not simply a plug and play procedure. Once you figure out how the fog lights go into the bumper, you realize that the connectors are different from stock to M-Tech. The center core of the stock electrical connector has two wires surrounded by a white plastic shroud with clips. I had to destroy the stock connector carefully, using a fine wire-cutter, while saving the center plastic core that simply pops into the new connectors. This was the most difficult part of the install as I took care to not damage anything I might need to use in the future. Once the front bumper was in place, fastening it in was not difficult. Number (3) above slowed me down considerably though. THE SIDE SKIRTS: You remove two bolts at the rear portion of the stock skirt then unscrew the fasteners that line the bottom. The skirts simply clip in on the sides (see photos). You have to pull the skirt off. Yeah baby! When installing the M-Tech side skirts, line up the bottom portion of the skirts, insert the fasteners, lift up so that the top of the skirts are flush with the portion of the body (under the doors) that they abutt to, then push hard. I used the palm of my hand as a mallet, and had to hit these very hard. THE REAR BUMPER: More on this later. Ran out of time at the moment. |

Check out this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=eisenmann There are several different options you have with Eisenmann: Sport-tuned, Race, Meisterschaft Valve Control, Titanium vs Stainless Steel, but the quad set-up is not available with Meisterschaft. Here's one of longtran's threads with a video clip of his exhaust: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...t=quad+exhaust |
