Also, I have AiB v3 and there is no radio interference or any other issues. They just cost a lot...

I will try them too. After all I have only two different types of Angel Eye led's on my table at the moment.
Not two without three...I suppose.

You have propably ordered them directly from States (~300$)??

If they don't work like they should, I'll change LCI-headlights or the whole car...

Sorry for the delay in replying...

Yes, I ordered mine with the e60.net discount from the US. Let me know if I can help you with this. I think that I paid around 220? including shipping.

I have had no issues at all with the v3 AiB AE lights. That said, I think that you can get similar products from board sponsors for less money, especially with the WEAK Dollar right now.

Again, if you are coming to the former capital of Finland anytime soon, let me know!

I sent an e-mail to Metro Auto, asking them if they know where my winter tires/wheels are...

I guess that I will need them soon.

Next year, I want another set of 166 M wheels for winter. Or maybe I will just force xBMWx to sell me his 172 M wheels, and I will find some good winter tires for them!

I am constantly on the look out for decent (second hand?) 20s for sensible money that will fit with my 15mm spacer rear set-up need for my 128s, so you may not have to use that much force afterall...... But thats a saga for next year

Here is the site:

Check out their CF parts.

I am thinking about the grills and lower mirror covers for my M5 mirrors.

Hi,

AiB's are already coming to Finland. Dollar is weak, but anyway the price wasn't so weak for two bulbs (~203€ inc. shipping)
I should get them next week, so we will see how they work.

I haven't visited ex-capital in few weeks, but I will let you know when it happens. I would like to visit there and
test my car with dynamometer before and after remapping, but it can't be done with studded tires
