Did you have to get any other parts to be able to install the akg shifter, since the m50 swap tilts your trans? thinking about getting one for my soon to be s50 swap

Last night at the Sherman Oaks meet we decided to do a "Fuck its raining, relocate to Buffalo Wild Wings" event...and we started taking some pics in the empty parking garage, check em out...

I know they are shitty iphone pics but still cool...I like em

After dealing with the shitty cluster that hardly ever worked right, my new euro cluster finally showed up...



Old vs New


Old miles vs New


Got it installed


...A few issues with it, the left turn signal doesnt light up...YES I checked and changed the bulb...also the highbeam light doesnt work...cant seem to figure it out...and now the CEL light is blinking, not sure if the old one didnt work but cant seem to turn it off either, going to get it looked at I think, also does anyone know if the brake lining light is the same spot on the euro cluster, the circle with the lines around it??

Also got a new euro clock...blank with m stripes, really like it


And this bad boy, german check panel with built in voltmeter


And speaking of the seller, Fusion had made a mistake and sent me the wrong items and so to make up for the mistake he sent me this badass tshirt...


Not sure if the picture does it any justice but the ink has a sort of carbon fiber look, its sick

Installed a few things, And broke 1, I finally got the front strut brace on (rear is in the mail) and also replaced the interior lights with new ones that actually work, only question is, does anyone know what part number the brackets they attach to are, I snapped on right in half

But I also realized I have not shared any picture of the engine bay at all, so I decided now with the new strut brace is as good of any time.

I am still working on cleaning everything up, but overall not to bad I think

[semaj4712]

Replaced the shit knock off ac schnitzer pedals that the car came with for these pedals from bmwpedals

While they were a lil tricky to install they look great



Ill try to take a better picture than my iphone pic tomorrow

[semaj4712]

Thanks , i was hoping it was from someone else , maybe less pricey. I haven't dealt with them myself but i heard they have pretty good reputation.

Yea I had my heart set on it, and once I had it it took a few weeks to figure out how to mount it to the momo hub that I wanted, but in the end very happy with it, minus the fact that the bolts the momo hub came with dont really fit it, but they are supposed to be sending me different bolts with the horn button...if that ever shows up

keep up the good work pal.
