M3 CSL

I’ve seen a lot of M3’s trying to copy the CSL in body style and in performance, all within good reason!

360bhp, stripped out A/C, carbon fiber components… very simple and precise. With the new 2008 V8 M3 coming out in upcoming months, I really don’t see much performance improvement over the I6. I personally love the I6 model, but I can’t make any decision until the new model is out and can be test driven.

Angel Eye Issues

Published by admin under Personal, Reviews

I’ve tried probably 4 times now with my angel eye installations. I’ve used ümnitza for all of them, I think. I really shouldn’t give them another chance. Everytime I install the angel eyes, they work fine for a while, but something comes up. First one of the halos broke. Next one of them didn’t light up. After all that, *another* one broke! Come on. I should have learned my lesson after the first halo breakage. Then there was the time that one of my xenon’s stopped working (turned out to be a broken ballast, burnt bulb, and some other risidual damage).

When I went to the dealer ($tealer?) they denied to fix the xenons until I stripped out all the angel eye (ahem) garbage from under the hood. Pretty understandable, since its not their equipment. In any case, after I removed all the aftermarket equipment, the problem got resolved.

It all just turned out to be more hassle than it was worth to have 2 sets of glowing rings :(
