I've settled up with Helix. So I hope to have the FMIC by Saturday. If so, I'm gonna try real hard to find time to install it this weekend. Can't wait!

Man, I met someone a few days ago who highly recommended the Helix IC. I was here at the forum to see what I could find out about Helix. It looks from this thread as if Helix may not be as reliable as we would want a vendor to be. Am I mistaken?

Sounds like I got a bad first impression from this thread. That's why I asked!
I understand, they do tend to be a little slow returning emails but they are definitely a stand up company. Don't confuse them being busy for them being a crappy company, they're great.

like orange said, they may be a bit slow on returning emails and not being able to reach them on the phone, im pretty sure they are slammed at work. fmic for minis arent the only ones they are making, they have 135/335i's as well. i waited a good 3-4 weeks for mine to come in, and i also ordered one for the 335i, and i waited about 2 months for it to come in. patience my friend, you will not be disappointed
