this is very impressive.
i wanted to do that mode since the first day i bought my car.
i collected parts and information for over 2 years.
unfortunately i sold my car before getting to it. still have all the parts.
now that i have the 99, not sure if i will do it.
just one question. it took me a long time to find a vacuum operated valve.
i finally scored some from a BMW 740 and another set from 335i.
where did you get yours?

There are lots of places to get the valves, actually. I got mine from Capristo in Germany as these are very high quality and the price was surprisingly less then some others I looked at.

Pierburg makes the valves for the factory PSE. Helical in the UK make inexpensive valves but they and their sales rep also don't return emails. Carnewal in Belgium can source nice valves as well (I can't remember who they get them from.) There is also an ebay seller that has them cheap, but to be honest I was put off by the way he answered any of his customers who complained. Capristo and Carnewal were both a joy to deal with.
