    The inside will be ported and smoothed out, but just showing how nice it is before that.
    This is just the start of shaping the plenum. Just trying to get some excitement for me to finish lol

    I purchase a set of these to replace my worn out buttons.
     
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/261201404201
     

     
    I popped off the rear cover to reveal 2 screws. I removed both screws.
     

     
    Remove board as shown.
     

     
    Start removing old buttons. Use caution and work slowly. 
     

     
    I broke a few tabs but all is good. Again use caution.
     

     
    I cut off the fake led light as my key had a real one.
     

     
    I needed to cut a corner off the lock button to clear the chip.
     

     
    The chip had some adhesive holding it down preventing it from rattling. I used a dab of shoe goo to hold it in place.
     
    Put it all back together with a new battery and all it good.
     
    If replacing battery, you have 30 seconds to get the new battery in once the old is out. It took me about 3 seconds so it should not be a problem. If battery is out for longer you will have to re-initialize the key.

    I found a good write up on bimmerforums on how to do it. 
     
    I cut the fake led end off and had to trim the top button to clear the chip in the key. The battery does not need to be removed so I did not have to re-initialize the key. I am happy how the buttons turned out. The lock button would not work with the old worn buttons. When I do my other key I will post a few more pics on what I did.

    Yup too good to pass up! The seller was a punk though.
    I meant t-belt on my list there under tune up. Yeah since I have no records it's getting done along with water pump and coolant flush. Car isn't being driven right now.

    If it is a M20 and the age of the belt is unknown that would be the first thing I would do.

    There are not too many options to program if I remember correctly.
    PO of my car had the alarm chirp disabled, DRLs turned off and I think that's it. He works at a local BMW Dealership so it was nothing for him to get done.
    Inpa (another one I can't remember) are supposed to be highly configurable and free to download I believe.
    I haven't got around to doing it myself honestly.
