    Getting thru firewall on 2013 BMW M3 (E(92)

    Anyone have experience/suggestions getting wires thru the firewall on a 2013 E92. There's about a thimble full of room under the hood.....

    Got it done over weekend and working great. Got to just refine the radar detector filtering now since I'm detecting every grocery store in metro Atlanta. Just FYI for anyone in the future, I finally went thru firewall just below steering wheel. Hard to reach from inside the engine compartment so just poke thru with sharp screwdriver from driver side and then fish tape thru. I power tapped thru center console cigarette lighter since power cable wasn't long enough to reach fuse box (and getting thru radio center console was going to be next to impossible anyway.)
