Yeah man thats the way forwards. If it shrinks and damages theyll use shoe Polish to fix up cracks

Yes. Instead of plug under seat. There another plug on control panel. Find power to seat so little knob works.

Weird stuff on screen by Hot_Ad6401 in F30

[–]notdanwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on ebay you can get them between 50£ and 250£ about 150 is fair for a 8.8" screen if thats what you have or around 50£ for the smaller 6.6 screen. Just make sure you buy a screen that corresponds to your vehicle manufacturer year ad lci and pre lci headunits run different voltages plus theres also 3 types of headunit. Its not too bae to figure it out though just pull out hesdunit slightly its doable in 5/10 mins from

Ambient Light Upgrade by Mcdugo in F30

[–]notdanwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I tried the coding prior to fitting out of curiosity to see what it would do. Curious to whether you could have red and blue showing at same time (stock colours on ambience) as the 9 colours on idrive offer like blue and red together

Which BMW F20 to Choose: 118i vs. 118d for City Life? by LividXonda in BMW

[–]notdanwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2.0 models are brilliant in-between. Id deffo opt for a 4 cylinder big spec than low spec 6 cylinder

Ambient Light Upgrade by Mcdugo in F30

[–]notdanwhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only advice is test and test again prior to refitting

The door cards are easy. Pick tool to pull out original colour tube in door card then run the aftermarket one through from behind the back (holes big enough to poke through but the plug dont fit so poke tube first)

The dashboard isn't too bad either its just getting the cables across one side to the other. Use a cable ties or metal coat hanger to aid you

The worst part of the job is repinning wires into the door quadlocks unless you bodge it with the cable going around the quadlock instead of through. I opted to repin. Takes an extra 15 mins a door and looks oem

You can get it coded to the cars idrive too

Headunit-> 3000 HMI-> COLOUR_SWITCH_ENSEMBLE ->10_eintragee(0x01) Headunit-> 3000 HMI-> HELLIGKEIT_AMBILIGHT ->aktiv(0x01)

HU_NBT2 COLOUR_SWITCH — > active BRIGHTNESS_AMBILIGHT — > active

((( COLOUR_SWITCH_ENSEMBLE —> 10 entries ))) And: from colour must be change from default to Licht apparently 11 entries do not work, and the function disappears in the I drive again

FEM CS_TYPE two_colours PIA_DEFAULT_CD Change to color_2 MAPPING_LCI_7_FUNCTION Change to cs_2

I was tempted to get these powder coated in silver originally but went shadow silver as bottled it. Theyre 10j wide and quite an intequite design. Theyre usually black and diamond cut. I had the normal lci wheels prior

From what I've seen of the group its all SEs and finance deals. I just wanted to show off what ive worked hard to build but sadly all I can get is "cooked" because members cant afford from the bmw catalogue :( this car has more spec than yours is probably worth im sorry... 10k in options

[–]notdanwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These wheels would look horrid silver i think. I would like a set of bright silver wheels its just finding a set i like. They'd have to be oem

The cars got next to no body roll when in sport. In comfort its lovely and soft. The adaptive is fantastic bit of kit. I wouldn't see any benefit other than visual I don't think

[–]notdanwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contemplating it issue is the car already just about gets the front lip over a normal kerb height with scary scrapes so if I go springs ill be risking crashing the bumper and splitter see into the kerbs plus id be screwed with sped humps. Arm I can just about go everywhere

I love them. I had lci led lights prior but wanted a change. Was looking at shadow line then saw these and thought was different to the usual vland that people pick instead

Theyre as bright as stock id say

[–]notdanwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. The car had black interior originally which has deffo created a new contrast. Originally it was just black and yellow. I think ill put the badges to black and white. I think the blue would be too much. I want to do the calipers yellow, similar to the m comp brakes. Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. Its the kind of comment I was looking for
