Are these OEM BMW CF mirror covers or replicas? If they are replicas are they good quality? I don't think I can justify paying $700 on mirror covers when a whole hood costs about $1000...

yep, those are OEM BMW CF mirror covers, yeah i know their prices are ridiculous

but quality is nice, highly recommended you won't regret having paid a little more

trust me

Nice car man realy! But just a little question, do you also had the fitting problems like they spoke about in the other topic's?

Thanks!

No, i'm ok referring to the fitting problems, nevertheless i'm having a bit of trouble with an annoying rattle sound, at the cold start of the vehicle i think the closed valve of the wireless kit is the guilty one, i am finding the way to solve it with my local dealer :S , check the video i uploaded , in general i'm very happy with the little H.P gaining ( if there is some) , the incredible sound ( i'm happy it can be discret or sporty at the touch of a botton). and weight savings, so if you are thinking about it, go for it !

Hi Wabbit

Congrats on that Akra, I am dying to have one, can you share your experience with me?
in terms of cost, local dealer, time of waiting, etc?
I will highly appreciate your knowledge sharing.

it's not a problem that rattling sound on cold start is normal and every system has it. When I heard it on mine I went to check it out and it turned out to be nothing and that's how it needs to be.

GTR_Steve · 04-14-2012, 02:04 AM

Wabbit, the wireless valve on the system takes about 5 seconds to close whilst vacuum builds. I do not have any rattling sound on mine (though I still have alignment issues!)

Alpine* · 04-14-2012, 03:32 AM

No alignment issues here, no rattles either, perhaps it is because I don't have the butterfly valve. It is just full on noisy all the time

Did you somehow mechanically force the valve to stay open permanently? IF so, how?

I am assuming you do not have the wireless kit then.

Sorry to confuse, I don't have the wireless kit.

This is my system at install, no butterfly valve, the short bypass pipe is added and the bung is removed from the pipe to enable a straight through setup all the time.
