NO RANTING ALLOWED that wasn't a rant... i have recently started experimenting with photography and have thought about going into it professionally, but i feel like there is so much to learn and it is such a populated field that it might not be worth the trouble. i'll still keep it as a hobby though.

cool. just one other quick thing. even though 5-lug is unnecessary, the used wheel market for 5-lug BMW wheels is waaaay better than the 4-lug market. Since every OEM wheel on a BMW is 5x120 and the only cars with the difference centerbore are the e39s, its very easy to find something you like, for cheap. for example, i bought my 4 style 5 weaves for $250 total, because they are the stock whe

Yes, the players you can drag and drop from can have the music taken off easily also. You can also get the music from more than one computer, which you can't do with an iPod.

There are OEM 15'' weaves for BMW. They are called "euroweaves". They are 4-lug, 15x7, ET24, BBS RZ wheels. Ove had them on his car. I have the 5-lug, 16x8 ET23 version of the BBS RZ's on my car. I didn't realize the iX weaves were such a high offset. I thought they were around ET35, so you could run them with a 10 or 15mm spacer. Another option for 15"

Quoterkj Daniel, So this means you, like Dave use another program for your music, what it it please? On my larger laptop it cam with arcade, would that be considered a good program to use.

the spark plugs you get need to be the copper filamented ones, not the silver or platinum. i don't know the exact part number, but maybe someone in here will. as for the locking nut, im not sure i know what you are talking about. there is a big nut (maybe 21mm?) under the roundel in the steering wheel which is used to hold the steering wheel on. i don't remember anything "loc

also, im not sure how much you would get out of looking at the motor. most of the wiring looks pretty normal. if you want to learn the details of the swap, your best bet is to head over to your favorite website, r3vlimited, and browse/search through their 24V section.
