Go to LUX website and see which model fits your car.

https://www.luxangeleyes.com

I have and I even emailed them and told me that if I had halogen angel eyes to get the ones I got but not sure if it was just me not knowing how to put them on or my car was changed from previous owner. Here is a picture of where I was trying to fit it

Yes, did you look at the various DiY's? Is your car a pre-lci or lci ? That will make a difference. LCI real quickly is 2009 - 2012.

Went to do a radiator flush. I tried to turn the blue screw, but it wouldn't budge.

"Well, it has that hex thing like the E46. I'll remove that."

*SNAP*

...now I need to wait until tomorrow to get a new radiator drain sleeve from the dealer.

Lesson learned: The hex plug on the radiator *is not* supposed to come off on these cars!

In the meantime, I'm doing a flush so I'll only need to install the plug, fill it, and call it a day

Given the beautiful weather, decided to give my 328i a proper wash and wax. Followed by finally replacing the front passenger side inner door handle that appeared to have melted.

You've got to remove the white cradle as well. Then the Lux bulb should fit right in. There's a DIY posted on the Lux site here: https://www.luxangeleyes.com/product...lci-halogen-v3

Cleaned/Condition my seats

Welcome to NBA Jam · 07-17-2018, 01:21 PM

Installed my new radiator adjustment valve and finally refilled my damn cooling system.

This thing. Fuck this thing. It's one of the worst designs I've ever seen. You can break it just by trying to undo the blue radiator drain valve, and your car can lose all its coolant unexpectedly. No dealer around me had one. I ended up finding one from a local seller by sheer luck.

It's so ridiculously fragile that I can't believe it didn't break itself already. I'm never undoing that valve again without a spare sleeve handy. Installing it again is really scary, too. It has to turn until it hits a stop and snap into place, but before that happens, it has some resistance.

King Rudi · 07-17-2018, 01:30 PM

Ordered plugs, ignition coils and map sensor today. Saturday, it will get loved up real nice.

Agreed. All of the dealers around me looked at me like I was stupid when I was looking for one.

To be fair, the drain on my Cherokee's stock radiator is connected to a plastic elbow on the radiator. When you try to drain it, the whole elbow snaps off, so you have to replace the whole radiator. I replaced it with an all metal one for off-road use. Probably the only design dumber than the BMW one.

I am surprised that someone like ECS tuning has not tried to clone it using brass as a material....

I stand corrected
