Agree 100% very easy job. I don't know why but draining the coolant is always my kryptonite. I feels like a PITA for me, setting it up making sure I don't splash etc.

Dropping the subrame makes total sense for a turbo job! Man I wish E93s were shipped with the 3SIM to get those few extra horses w/out the turbo.

You can add a throttle body spacer. Apparently adds 5HP and 5% less fuel consumption lol

I still have my E90 m sport, might do 1 bumper with 2.

At some point I want to upgrade the rear lights to the LCI style that are all LED.

Check the wire loom first.

That was the first thing I checked; no obvious breaks or cracks but I didn't inspect any wires within the rubber cover (and on the E93 it's LONG.)

It seems to be the board inside the light itself. When removed from the trunk lid, shaking/tapping it make it work or not work.

I don't mind soldering, but these assemblies appear to be glued together, and I can't separate it without destroying the light. I'll be on the lookout for a set of LCI tail lights.
