Re: Chi's E39 Titan

The ones above are m5 seats heated with lumbar. I never got round to doing the rear heated pads but they were out of a front set that I gutted.

Re: Chi's E39 Titan

Well I thought I would give it a try and fit both the Decat and the powerflex bushes myself. Well what a failure!

Re: Chi's E39 Titan

More cheap Chinese plastic. Sold my Genuine M5 mirrors a while ago then I got a pair of second hand non genuine but they had some damage so I sold them on and have bought a new set of non-genuine. The main reason I went non genuine as to me they look exactly the same apart from the part numbers. The...
