Thanks for the video. I noticed this issue with my ‘09 335i. Had the headlight assembly out today to fix the right side adaptive headlight which was pointing at the ground. Checked over the wires and avoided touching anything that might flake off insulation. LOL You can now buy “paint on” liquid electrical tape and it comes in various colors. Used it a few months ago to fix bad insulation on wires after change out the day time running lights.

@jake_spence 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Roman. I'm not sure if the MMP turbos will mate up to your PSP outlets. You'd have to ask Mauricio at MMP. As far as my thought on them, I liked them. They were good turbos and I never had any problems with them. PURE also makes a good set of turbos, so that's a very tough choice. I think it depends on your budget and power goals, but I don't think you can make a wrong choice.
