Throttle actuators replaced.. kept the old ones. May open them up and see what’s going on inside!

Someone cut into the O2 sensor cable on the car’s side at some point. Had to splice the cable back together…

BMW doesn’t sell the plug anymore. Had to find a similar one.

Back to 359s and Summerrubber with new PS4S, sweet! Went back ro 265/245 (from 275/255) to continue the path to Absolute OEM.

Nice! Pro-tip, I keep a working/old spare TA in my trunk for emergency roadside repairs on road trips. Along with an ignition coil.

Pro-tip for a pro-tipper; use a food saver and a silica gel dessicant pack to pull a light vacuum on your in-vehicle spares for insurance against water intrusion.

Great idea...like that 'pro-pro tip'

Installed ALP 2Rx/1Tx front and rear. Used the factory grommet on the driver side to feed the cables into the control box that's placed in the driver footwell

The front Tx needs to be switched horizontally. I'll likely put it midline below the grills as that's 14" above the ground

I swapped out my hood vent covers to matte black. They match the verts matte mirror case (Different thank e90/92 glossy mirror case) and my chrome delete.

The contrasted matte finish covers against the glossy sheen of the painted hood revives the vents a little more presents.

I also replaced my trunk struts. 🍻

I wanted to change the lighting to something warmer. I saw this at High Performance Bulbs. I really like the amber color. It’s more subtitle than the photos appear. Blends beautifully with the orange lighting in the car. Need to do the puddles next.
