ADD 99-04 RL brake rotors to that list since they are same spec as type 2.

you may ask why....??

You can order a slotted rotor with CURVED vanes which adds to the cooling effect which you cannot get for a legend except for big brake kits.

This is more of an interior performance mod? There is a company in Italy (www.redlinegoods.com) that sells leather shift boots. Price is quite reasonable. I found it while looking through the BMW forums and discovered they have the G2 Legend in their vehicle selection.

First of all...Andrey, nice fuckin' thread man.

Second, KMS bars are not quite $200...even shipped. KMS Engine Development is local to me, out in Covington, GA.

I've asked, and if I drive down there its a flat $150, however if it needs shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S. its around $170-175 tops.

Here is the standard link on eBay for purchasing, this listing/auction has been going on for years so add it to your post.

WASSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.
