Central brake light replacement on BMW Z4

Model: BMW Z4 E85, E86 - Years 2002-2008
Part:

First of all, remove the horizontal red plastic cover typical of the central stop: if you cannot remove it by hand, help yourself by using a plastic lever or a small flat-head screwdriver and prying into the slots of the same. Open the small boot lid and unscrew the three 8mm bolts securing the LEDs from inside the vehicle. Remove the LED strip that acts as a third stop light and disconnect the connector. At this point, proceed backwards for assembly: insert the new LED strip after connecting the connector, screw the bolts and replace the cover.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
