Not at all. It means it’s actually now serviceable. I can swap back to OEM bulbs or replace with same spec bulbs from Osrsm, Philips, etc.

nice. Details on the tune, please? From who, did you have them set it to ignore post cat O2s and EGT? I've had euro headers sitting around for years, my issue has been what to do with the post cat O2 sensors and EGT and my reluctance to modify section 1 to make these work.

In terms of plug n play no tune options.
  1. Easiest solution is to source a European Section 1 and unbundle the existing wire loom to extend the rear most O2 sensor down the driver side of the transmission tunnel.
  2. Alternatively you can weld new O2 bungs in your existing USA Section 1

Thanks. I have found a used US section 1, so I might pick that up to modify and keep one OE. I reached out to Josh Severn because I am interested in a tune to see about ignoring the post cat O2s and egt with a tune, but I also want to understand if there are any issues with that, what the post cat O2 and egt are used for before I decide. So waiting to hear back before I buy a used Section 1 to experiment on...

Maybe you can get your hands on a DKF S-pipe? Else you can use o2 simulators. I ran those on my N52 while leaving o2 sensors on/enabled and I passed emissions with no problem.

Never imagined I'd get this lucky with a brand new genuine Aero bumper. Thank you fellow forum bumper for selling it to me - you know who you are :-) It was also awesome meeting and catching up in person on our BMWs.

Had it professionally painted by my trusted body shop and color mach is spot on for a 16y old car. Installation was a breeze, just a PITA to do without a second set of hands. Also decided to go with all-black kidney grilles - was never a fan of the gray slates.

Before and after shots. P.s. that's water from the wash on the floor - not an oil leak :-)
