Help installing mods

BimmerRookie · 11-06-2014, 09:28 AM

Say if I were to have ordered some front and side grilles, Lux V4's, and some Euro LCI tails... would anybody local in the Houston area be willing to help me out/ show me out to install these?

I'm fairly inexpereinced around cars and I'm pretty nervouse about popping things out and putting new ones in. Plus, the changing of the bulbs absolutely scares the sh!t out of me, I have no idea why..

I appreciate any help or advice! I know there are plenty of DIY guides on the forums, but I would prefer somebody walk me through it in person.

Are you near or around conroe?

All really easy installs. Where are you located

BimmerRookie · 11-07-2014, 10:20 AM

I can drive up to Conroe easy, I'm located in the energy corridor (I-10 & Elderidge)

BimmerRookie · 11-11-2014, 10:15 AM

Anybody? I'm just about to purchase and I'll make a repost when they're in.

I would appreciate some help...

thanks in advance

I can help. I live in the heights.

Most those are pretty simple but delicate. I have installed the grills and bulbs. LCI tails would be new to me, but it should be straight forward.

Thanks, I'll let ya know when they get in!

About the LCI tails...i actually got in a minor accident recently and their replacing the trunk lid, so I purchased the LCI's through the body shop and their gonna install and code it there.

So kidney grilles, side markers, Lux V4's, and reflectors

Count me in...I live in The Woodlands. Just please PM me once you pick a date since I don't always check this forum.

If you want to bring the beer you can have everyone meet at my place if that is convenient. I have loads of tools, a stereo and good lighting in the garage, etc.

YouTube, beer and the DIY section (http://www.m3post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=208) were a huge help for me, but it looks like you've already got a lot of great help from local members.

Having done all of the mods you're looking in to doing, the LUX is the most obnoxious - Make sure you have someone with tiny, tiny girl hands

Good luck!

I can bring beer and supervise if anyone wants to help me install my mods. LOL!

AUTiger13 · 11-22-2014, 03:52 PM

Mini-mod party? I can talk with a local tuner who does coding and programming and see if he would like to attend also, if theres interest of course.

BimmerRookie · 11-24-2014, 03:48 PM

M3 gets out of the body shop on the 1st. I got rear-ended a few weeks ago and really procrastinated on taking it in.

so for the time being, I've just got boxes piled up in the corner of my apt. hahaha

You still looking for some help? This post went kind of old so maybe you already got it taken care of?

FYI, just finished oil change, diff fluid and spark plugs...all pretty easy thanks to all the instructions on this forum.

BimmerRookie · 03-24-2015, 08:37 AM

Oh, yeah! taken care of, thanks tho!
