Thank you for purchasing BimmerTech products! We strive to deliver the most functional,
reliable and high quality BMW retrofit upgrades on the market. Our kits are do it yourself
friendly, but if you're not fond of working on your car don't worry. You can always take your
freshly purchased kit along with these installation instructions to one of our recommended
installers or to any other professional installer in your area. We offer full technical support
all the way up to a successful installation finale.
If you will be installing the kit yourself then it is recommended to do so in a clean,
spacious, well lit and climate controlled garage without pressing time constraints. The
installation does involve disassembling many areas of your vehicle so it's best to take your
time, be gentle, careful and diligent in keeping track of which screw and clip came from
where to reinstall the parts correctly.
Please read the instructions in full before beginning the installation and have a thorough
look at the below installation video. While it is not explicitly for your vehicle it is very
