Just one quick q. Does this "setup" work with older geatronic? I don't have this new "stick".

I think that the shifter is somewhere in my E61, in the trunk, or at least it was last summer...

My first, spring 2010 "mod" was accomplished today:
I WASHED MY CAR.
And it is still dirty.

My mod plans have been delayed.. Damn.. The painter has been sick and now he has to catch up with his work. He is doing my M-package "off the book" so he can give me a cheaper deal and this also means that they are the last in line.. Also bad news regarding the lowering. I got the H&R's to the front and will get them installed next Monday, but it looks like I will have to wait until 26th of April to get the rear lowering done, because off the long waiting list at the BMW-Service... Maybe I'll make some phone calls to neighboring cities/towns too to see if some place has sorter waiting list...

Big improvement, but the wheels just aren't coming up mint. I think I need to buy myself some proper cleaning products to get rid of that really nasty winter grime... especially as I will be transferring my summer tyres on to my 128s and start using them as my summer rims instead of the winter set-up. (Its going to make next winter a bit of a night mare with the M172s though!)

Hope you find someone who can get your suspension done a little quicker.
