Whats up guys! I just sold my modded '95 M3 on Friday and picked up a beautiful red '99 Lightning tonight! I am so stoked! The intercooler recall has been done, it has powdercoated black trendz billet grills, SHM blower pulley (anyone know how much boost that adds? I think it's 2 or 3), K&N air filter, dynomax muffler, and SHM mass air (how can I tell if it's 90mm?). I have loved the 2nd gen Lightnings forever and now I finally have one! Only 32k miles on the body and 18k on the motor that was replaced under warranty (intercooler leakage into the cylinder). The truck still has 1 1/2 years left under an extended warranty too.

Heres a couple of threads I posted just so you can see the respect Bimmer drivers give the L:

Let me be the first to say congrats on the purchase. Sounds like you got some good mods already done to it. There's always room for more though.

 

Congrats!!

 

CONGRATS AND WELCOME Hellspawn

Nice choice of vehicles

Your king of the road now

And I may add, those Bimmer Post are excellent,
good to see everyone appreciate the L for what it is

P.S. Rob....so very jealous you got your hands on a true blue. too bad they only make sonic blue, cause true blue rocky my world!

 

Ummmmmm, Robs truck is black

 

Congrats on the new beast, what an awesome vehicle you have. And great to see your diversity in taste.

Welcome!

Welcome

 

heh there is 2 new true blue 02's at gwinnett place ford in georgia, you can have one for 33k, atleast thats all they were willing to come down for my buddy.

 

lol oops, it kinda looked true blue in that pic!! my bad. how can you buy a new 02 true blue, when the 04's are about ready to come out do you mean sonic blue?

-Mike

 

no i mean 2002 true blue lightning. the dealership sucks and they wont budge on the price, so they can just sit on them i guess.

 

Congrats!

P.S. True Blue r0x j0ur s0x.

Thanks alot guys! I just had a couple questions for you.

1. The L has a big K&N cone filter (no box) but how can I see if the mass air meter is 90mm? The guy wasn't sure if a 90mm was included with what he said was a "SHM mass air flow kit".

2. Anyone know how much boost the SHM blower pulley puts out? I ran a search here, checked the SHM website, and called them (no one picked up). Couldn't find the answer.

Thanks in advance!

(P.S. getting the fuel filter changed today after checkin out a few threads and considering the boost-bypass mod )

 

measure that pulley and im sure someone can tell u how much it increases it, that is if the lower pulley is stock.
