Is it even safe for me to do the H&R Sport Springs on the standard suspension? I haven't done this before and want to make sure I don't do anything wrong.

Thanks again for your help!

im not sure how it will be on the standard suspension but H&R did design these springs to work with the standard shocks/dampers. you should pitch the question to someone with a base model/modern/luxury who have install this spring to see what their experience is.

the best setup tho would be to use H&R springs with a after market damper system like eibach or bilstein, etc.

Ric did you get clutch question I send you? The one about the engagement point? Not related to GTI.

Ric,
I have the reflctors, whiskers, and grills sitting here waiting on my car to arrive. Would you mind posting the model/PN or link to those bulbs. PM'ing me works too! Thanks.

All good. Interesting... 50% up from all the way compressed is kinda high engagement point.

car is easy to drive. somebody with only knowing the theory of driving a manual prob wont stall. Stalling is not bad either I have stalled forgetting I was in 2nd moving off and stalled. once i sunk the clutch ASS function starts the car.

I wish! I had to give up my Nexus as I could not see any plans to support any time in the near future.

Oh good thing I am not getting the BMW app then.

Is it confirmed that the Alarm system on the 335i with idrive - you can turn on a honk for unlock and lock?

hey ric how'd you remove the whiskers? I managed to get the thicker (inner) side off but the thinner parts are tightly clipped. Do I just use a little force to rip em off or is there a strategic way to do it? I didn't wanna break the clips so I didn't use too much force.

Funny story it was 1am I had the whiskers in my room and car was in the parking garage downstairs and I got bored. So I went down and I tried finding the clips to pull off but then I got frustrated and just used my hand and pulled the whiskers off. Notice only one clip on the whisker was broken but when will I ever put it back on?

lol sorry i have no idea what you mean by that

what I'm hearing is... just pull it off and if a clip breaks then live with it hahaha

Shuttlegoose · 05-28-2012, 12:16 PM

So the whiskers do pop off?

ric124 · 05-28-2012, 07:17 PM

only one part on the whisker broke and the other whisker came off fine. Just use force pull it off and snap on the new ones.

Thought this looked cool, also look like the Navi HUD is telling me to drive through the bank doors. But Officer BMW Nav told me to rob the bank!
