    Winch on an 825i

    I am thinking I am going to put a Superwinch Terra 45 synthetic rope winch on my new 825i. I had one on my 2012 and seemed to work good. I can't remember exactly what winch mount I used but Caimbridge Metals seems to ring a bell. Any thoghts on this set-up? Any better ideas? Maybe they came out with a better winch for the money? I like the looks of the KFI Stealth being all black. Would look a lot better than the bright blue/yellow combo of the Superwinch but i'm not real sure on the brand and they are more expensive.

    Nice install now things are coming back to me from the last time I installed one. Any long term issues with it?

    I used the same install. But, I located my remote switch plug in the bottom of the glove box and added a manual reset.
    Worked great, but have only used it once.

    My Terra 45 with synthetic rope is still going strong with no issues. The only thing I'd recommend is to install a winch saver doughnut before you wind on the rope.
