I almost hit a small rodent/rabbit leaping across Highway I-70 the other
night, I probably would've been able to slow down if I would've seen it!
My deal - need brighter Headlights...I've heard some murmur about Hella
"Super White" bulbs or something, but I never heard a finality
to that whole headlight issue (however, I remember some people
complaining because some kinds of bulbs blind the oncoming
traffic. Yikes!!!!!)
The other deal - I'm pulling about 3 grand (RPM) when I'm going 78MPH,
I've heard that the stock differential on my '86 528e is
a 2.91 or so, but this high number (3K is high for an
ETA to hold for 2 hrs!) scares me, do I have the stock
differential in?
Finally, while I'm on the whole speed issue, is it worth it to use that
legendary Jim C. chip on the Eta engine, a shop that does alot of work on
BMW's (Bimmer's R Us) says that Dinan makes the best chip......What is
your opinion? No dyno or HP numbers needed, I just want to know if it's
worth $250 of my money!
Thanks again, I just wish I were more knowledgable about aftermarket
parts!
