both are good choices.

update: bought PLX WLAN/ODBII (on the way) and will run the REV software off the itouch borrowed from a friend since he got a 3GS and don't use his itouch. will report back when I set it up.

received the PLX WLAN/ODBII.

plugged it in and sync to the iTouch. all read outs are not working. had a little scare thinking my C32 somehow doesn't work with this. Tried it on the C350 as well as our 160k mile 97 528i. same crap.

checked everything...turns out the iTouch's firmware is not up to date. The REV software requires 2.2.1 to work properly and I have 2.2.0

updating it tomorrow.

some LM sexiness I took today for my W203 C32 and my buddy's e92 M3. some new stuff since last time are: BBS decal on the wheel and new tint (Onyx 25 which is 29% transparency). The M is not tinted.

great pics!

although.... i think frank's car looks cleaner than the m3. that body kit looks like the japanese did something aftermarket on a german... i've never been a fan of the lines. the 335 looks better IMO

thx Matt and Keven and Fred.

thx Yang, moleskin is working great we did a good job with it

Karo, thx buddy, the decal came out better than I thought. my buddy's gonna do it on his as well.

Glyn, as usual, too kind

midnight, are you talking about the body kit or the add-on lips? the add-on are ACS style CF lips and diffusers. thx for the kind words

johnand, the wi-fi module is from PLX here http://www.plxkiwi.com/kiwiwifi/hardware.html. The iphone app. is purchased from iphone application store. I'll see if I can get some pictures later. one thing I forgot to shoot yesterday.

eesjunin, it's the same grille different lighting will make it look a little different. it is blk.

and thanks Phil!
