Well its a little screw behind the speedo... You have to take the whole speedo out, disconnect all the cables from it, they just pull out. Then its just a gold screw directly behind the speedo, so looking from the front, it should be down the bottom behind the 0, but on the back..... you'll see it. The screw is really small and either gold or silver and you just unscrew it and take it out. It should be near a light bulb on the back. Hope this helps but its really hard to explain. Maybe you want to meet up or something. Where abouts in Syd do you live. **** I just read that yours is a 1999 and I've got a 95, maybe its the same. Ask envy imports 99074144, I took mine out and asked them which screw it was! Or they can do it for $30.

yea I don't know about the wire, but I've heard about it. I got my car a month ago and when I was getting ny car complied I pull it out then. I've only been past 180 about 4 times, on the freeway and on the M2, its not really that much of a thrill. I plan on taking my speed out on the creek.

Taka sells them for US$82 (Pivot), and we all know Apexi also has RSM-GP for US$192 + US$46 for the optional G-Sensor, which makes the whole thing cost around $400... and they both have speed limiter remover function too...

How much better is the RSM-GP compared to Pivot, in terms of accuracy of accelleration measures, etc. I suppose RSM-GP will be more accurate if equipped with the G-Sensor?

Thanks heaps:uh-huh:

Dude, I have yet to find out if the 34 is the same as the older model in terms of speed cut [removal] - to me it feels more of an electrical / fuel cut than a simple / mechanical screw!

Of course if you buy one of the abovementioned gadgets, it will be fine. In terms of wire 53, I don't know anyone that has done this on a 34 - yet. 33 / 32 have afaik but not ours...waiting patiently :D

Not a Sales pitch....

But I have a mate that has all of the above mentioned and selling at a good price. All new and Boxed.

I can pass on his e-mail address if anyone is intrested.

what exactly disables it in an 33 ?

I have a Razo TT, Apexi S-AFC, and a few other electronic gizmos...just curious how it may have been done in mine - any of those devices do that? or somebody just cut the wire when they wired it in?

Just know that mine don't have it (wonder how i know that ;) )

Hey wrxkilla,

Can you provide me your friend's e-mail. I am interested in getting one of those devices.

By the way, I am getting a front pipe from HKS (BD4's) for $385. That doesn't sound bad does it? High flow cat will be courtesy of Just Jap. BD4's also sells HKS FMIC kit for approx $2,500...yum!!

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
