I thought the first action DSC took was reducing power, followed by applying the brakes? I certainly know DSC can control engine output so I wouldn't be too quick to rule it out. @DreDurk - that's a lot of codes... keep a copy, clear them all, start car, stop car, check codes, keep a copy, clear all codes, go for a drive (to the point where the car is at operating temp) and then check codes again... what are you left with? Obviously only take if for a drive if it sounds okay.

If the car originally came with a screen and iDrive controller then you need to end up with both (even if both are replaced). You can't go from IDrive (regardless of CCC or CIC) to non-iDrive without a lot of coding and cabling. So your want to keep CCC working. You replacement HU should plug into the CCC (and probably optical) connections.

That's ^ a digital terrestrial TV controller, see the links below. Unfortunately it looks like there's a lot more than just the box you pictured so unwinding it all back out of the vehicle might be a nightmare. https://www.croooober.com/en/item/cparts/00000121/Digital-Tuners-Full-Seg/8922715/DataSystem-Hi-Vision-HIT-7700 http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=n278361884

Heaps of people have done that already, check out 1addicts and babybmw forums for all the pics and DIYs. You can make a significant difference by opening up and modifying the back box, you need to be careful where you cut though.

Yep. See the pics in my 130 thread of my exhaust.

It doesn't seem worth worrying about unless they quote a whole bunch of images. And yes, the notification usecase is valid and valuable. Avoid quoting images and we should be fine.

I might be able to do a good set without inserts if that would suit. Not a promise but I can take a closer look and pics for you.

No sh*t stirring, no whinge, nothing to sell, not sure what you're on about actually Martin.

Sorry no. If that was a subtle reference to another thread then I'm pissing myself, if not then happy coincidence. I will be selling an average quality full M-Rain e36 M3 interior though... I'm returning mine to stock after that one went for $37k.

That surprises me. Is it advertised anywhere else? I think it would go pretty quick on TM for ~$9k, maybe slightly more. On a slow burn you might get 11 or 12. Kiwi's scared of high miles eh? Maybe I buy it once I sell the blue one! ?

*cough* So that where they got the idea for that god-awful active tourer from!

I wonder what all those broken and damaged e36 bits that I just didn't have the heart to throw out will be worth? Like 3 sets of incomplete coupe door cards! ?

I'd prefer a blue one Kyu but I'd have to swap all the bits over! At least I can compare mine to stock at my leisure. A Bimmersporter was bidding and had I known that I probably wouldn't have played. He can have first option. I'll get it home, give it a good looking over, plug it in to the computer and probably do an oil and filter change and go from there.

Lovely example, I have intake envy. Did you find somewhere that still has RHD BMWP handbrake boots? I've been looking for ages. I also like the front velocity splitters and have been eyeing them up (in black FRP only though but I've not yet found them with reasonable shipping from China, where did you get yours from?

Nup, didn't expect to win if for that. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it but it's for sale.

Can we get any traffic stats? I can do basic hosting calculations.

Damn... I didn't think I'd win this... anyone need a 130i? @Cammsport ??? ? Edit: now I'm bummed I sold those 17's... ?

Does it have aftermarket or custom headlights or bulbs of any kind? Did the inspector give you any additional information? That's a very, very weird fail if the car has passed previously.

Depends on the adjustment, I'm surprised the WoF shop didn't fix it there and then. Any mechanic can adjust a headlight, it's also possible to do it yourself without any special tools. What adjustment is required?

"A statement of the luxury class: the new BMW X7 is the elegant fusion of presence and personality. Despite its majestic appearance, it gives an impression of lightness and agility thanks to the puristic design and athletic styling. At the same time, the considerable spaciousness of the interior offers a pioneering interplay of exclusivity, functionality and freedom – incomparable comfort all the way to the third row of seats." ??? And they use the words "charm" and "elegance" to describe it. ??

I've come to accept, after many duh moments, that I'm never going to drill it into my startup routine. I'm also now interested out of shear interest! I think it would be quite cool for it to switch to DTC mode as I pulled out of my driveway... ?

Definitely keen to cover your costs to try something out, no rush at all of course and I certainly don't want to be an imposition! I'm competent enough to find a 12v feed and earthing point! ? Hallelujah.

Can you please sell that to Auckland Transport to install in all the busses they contract to turn the f'ing GPS on when the bus is started?!? Why TF it doesn't turn on automatically, and requires a driver to remember, is beyond me. When they forget to turn the GPS on the app and digital signs don't update and it's a real PITA.

Yep, one press on the button. Relay, hmm, not sure my electrical skills are that good... ? any idea of what type of relay I'd need? And I imagine it'll have more than 2 pins/posts so not a straight-forward inline install?
