Go out to the car this morning and someone's decided to rip my spoiler off for themselves. Joy.

There are multiple variants of FRM2, FRM3, etc, with slight differences in compatibility - for example, an E87 FRM2 in an E81/E82 won't work correctly (unable to learn window limits).
I'll have a look. What you said about E87 compatibility is most likely the issue. Had a look on eBay for a new module but nothing for a good price.

I listed the E81 as I thought I'd take advantage of the free list weekend, few nice cars got posted that I'm keen on (330ci). The FRM issue is something I've been meaning to sort out, I think it needs an FRM3 module instead of the FRM2 it has in it. Unless @NZ_InFerno tried an FRM3 to no avail? Funnily enough I have actually come to not mind the window issue as i usually just crack them open a bit anyway.

If i remember correctly i saw a manual conversion sell on FB Marketplace for something like 3-4k

6 minutes ago, M3AN said:@duluth - did you install the spoiler yourself? If so, method?
Yep, just bought 3M outdoor mounting tape. Put strips around the edge of the whole spoiler with two strips in the middle just for peace of mind. Had my sister help me line it up so it sat in line with the part where the roof and back end meet. Oh and I wiped down each surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and put pressure on the contact points for around 30 seconds.
You can do it yourself but makes things a lot easier with two people, less chance of putting it on wonky.

What are peoples thoughts on this ... a manual for 7k. Must have some glaring issues as i swear its been relisted about 3 times in the past month or 2.

Looking at getting an FRM3 module to fix my window and lack of pdc issues. Had a look at realoem and have the part number, however, I am wondering if I need that specific FRM or can I just get any FRM3 and have it coded to match my cars options. Cheers.

anyone got a short antenna they want to get rid of before I wait 3 months for an aliexpress one.

With regards to this e36 (https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3047130520?bof=ALHZAihy) in good condition but can hear the engine starting to make some noise that I can’t quite tell. Managed to lower the price down a little bit but I wonder if it’s worth doing an inspection by a mechanic before buying? Otherwise, the typical issues like headliner sagging, door card peeling off, clear coat peeling, but no rust which is great.
Definitely get a pre purchase inspection. Can help you find some things that you can use as leverage to get a better price as well as identifying any major issues that would be deal breakers.

Make sure you get HT ones, if your other ones aren't HT, replace them all.
Cheers for that , ended up getting it by sweeping back and forth with a magnet on a stick

Who'd you go to see and how much was it ? Looks great !
