Is this just a simple swap or is a DME (computer ) setting needed like you have to with an E92 M3?

Simple Swap.
I went with the autozone duralast platinum battery.
Fits perfectly.

Only issue I had PASM failure (normal after you disconnect battery) that went away half a mile after i started driving it.

What year is your car? Was that the original battery?

Default Sand Beige Woes

I nominate this as the BEST POST EVER ( for a fellow sand beige traveler. )

That one is harder to see but is now visible as my state does not use the window stickers.

Unhappy bad day in the garage ...

marred the headliner and scratched the leather on the passenger door installing a bolt in roll bar. cross threaded one of the bolts. and then I'm asked "was it worth it?"

Looks good. I had mine done but didn't go nearly as low as you. I am extremely happy with the improved ride quality though as usually aftermarket springs do the exact opposite.

Work done at Fabspeed.











Mmmmm, factory slantnose.





My humble car is visible in the background.
