Winfred told us how to kill it............i fergot tho. May be in the archives.
For a 5er there is a module somewhere under the dash, orange or w/ orange stripes.........i think.
Nice mod tho, if u haven’t experienced drivin one regularly, u are in for a treat.
The smaller diameter is just right.
And them thumb ‘bulges’..................sweet.

Oh yeah, baby!!!!



Airbags are overrated anyways.
An exploding steering wheel...........what a brilliant idea. :rolleyes:

I ended up pulling the box, & some other junk after installing my mtech2 wheel. You can't just pull the one light bulb in the instrument cluster, as it has a tiny backup bulb soldered to the board. At least, that spare cluster did.

If memory serves, someone just had an airbag blow on a harsh pothole, in an e34. Was that here? I've heard of a couple airbags going off in e24 6ers.

I personally don't love 10+ year old explosive junk a foot in front of me.

Hey guys

Lovely wheels aren't they. This is the one I placed three red LEDs under the central boss badge which glow at night as you are driving. Matches the illuminated gear lever. Looks good!

Right now ive been using an M-tec 1 wheel and it feels like im missing a spacer or something. I had a schnitzer/momo wheel before and that one wasnt right either blocked too much of the cluster. Anyone have a good lead on an M-tec 2? i know they are on ebay all the time, but i would like to find one locally (NY metro area)

My mtech2 wheel blocks the upper part of tach & speedometer. I don't care too much; it is a much sportier wheel. For me, the stock wheel blocked alot of the instrument cluster too. My head kinda tilts sideways, out of the sunroof.
