My Ride: A Car
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Well, my GTECH is here. I bought the GTECH Pro Competition. Reason why I bought that over the RR is because the RR has yellow backlight. I like the blue backlight. And the GTECH Pro Comp was a LOT cheaper. Upgraded to firmware 4.1 and it;s exactly the same. GOnna do some runs. Hopefully it's good. Gonna do it with NY530i and my friend's e92 m3 tomorrow. ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
And also the LCI headlight! Woohoo! Got it. Now just gotta figure out how that goes into the pre-LCI plugs and everything. Gonna ask Bruce if he has some extra plugs from his retrofit kits. Hopefully, I get just a parking light error. I can fix that easily. I dont want an adaptive headlight malfunction, low beam malfunction, high beam malfunction etc. I am afraid of the high beams but I can always put a resistor to trick the system for high beams. Gonna be a small project I guess and I hope.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Let us know how that G-Tech meter works for you, i've always thought about buying one but have been hesitant over the reviews for it.

I got 0-60 @ 5,4sec with my 545iA, it is interesting to see how much can you get off from that, i'll bet atleast 0,1-0,2sec:-) I have only tried quartermile once (that run had around 5,6sec 0-60 btw), and got 14,04@103mph.

ok. Didnt have time nor the room to do runs.
GTECH requires u to go 2nd gear runs. My friend's m3 in 2nd gear is already at 75 mph redline. Mine is 70mph at redline. Cant find a spot!!!!! Mebbe meet Vald Vald tomorrow to clay bar and do some runs and have some fun. I'll text u when I wake up Vald.
