New tpms
New zkw clear lenses with razor sharp blue/violet cut off
New passenger side headlight washer actuator
New axle bolt
New bumper bolt
New clutch fan
Tail light grounding kit
Alignment
Buzzer for audio feed back when locking.

I did everything but tires, tpms, and alignment.

hi its me alec · 08-15-2012, 09:12 PM

I finally took apart my center console and cut my carpet to find out WTF was going on with the SRS Control Unit. Looks like a new one is needed since the ground and connector both looked good, so I found a bunch of cheap used ones. Hopefully I'll get one on the way tomorrow when all these far-off scrap yards open up.

Hopefully I'll get the problem fixed for under $100 including coding.

I was scared at first because my version of the SRS unit was only used on e46s for a year (build date mid '98 - mid '99.) I figured they would be hard to find. Turns out there are plenty of them on car-part.com.

My only goal now is to get a used unit from a junk yard, from a car that hasn't been in a crash. Mine has zero crashes, so I'd like to avoid having the car see crash-related codes... So hopefully a car with a blown motor or similar. Ya

Why not get a later model SRS module and upgrade to an M3 wheel?

Yesterday I cleaned the exterior (just a quick wash) and today I bought and installed a Highline Catback Exhaust. Sounds BEASTLY.

Skip to :30 and stop at 1:30; before/after has nothing.
