bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 Where did you buy the LEDs from Ryan, eBay? are they good quality? .. whatever you got. I got the bulbs off some obscure site I will try find the name of it later... They look pretty good, I also added in LED fog light bulbs (not as asian as it sounds!) Here are some pictures. I hate yellow lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to "re-sync" - for lack of a better word, to your car, have a search I'm sure there are threads about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Fixed my dash bulb that was blown, replaced the thermostat housing that was broke, and set the idle . Very productive day. Oh and i shampooed the carpets, and dried out the drivers side which was soaked due to the sunroof leaking. Or the drain pipe leaking. Or something leaking.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I had my shitty copy scanned (for the code) and cut onto a spare blank. Difference is everything. Left key is old one. wouldn't open the doors without wiggling, wouldn't work up one way in the ignition... would get stuck in doors.. ect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 How do you do this? ^^ Take it to BMW? Details.... Cheers, cos I have two keys, the one for the door locks has the code printed on it, but the one for the ignition is pretty worn and its plastic handled (not BMW original tho ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Good stuff. I have only recently realised dealers do this. I went into Papakura Toyota looking for a new key to replace my 25 year old worn one and all they needed was my registration.. next day I had a new key. I do question if anyone could just rock in and order one though? On Topic.. I brought 140 Little tree’s air fresheners, 10 of 14 different smells.. So I through one on the Beemer. http://www.little-trees.com/ This week its Black Ice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do question if anyone could just rock in and order one though? I wondered that too when the Key for my Subaru fell apart (I kid you not. I found the half that broke off half way between my car and the dairy - It broke when i was walking. wtf?) Rang the after hours locksmith, gave him the key number (but he also said the rego would work as it is kiwi new) and an hour later he rocked up with a new key. Cost me a cool hundy, but better than than leave a tastefully modified suby in the shadows on SH1 a few kms north of porirua. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, cos I have two keys, the one for the door locks has the code printed on it, but the one for the ignition is pretty worn and its plastic handled (not BMW original tho ) Begg Security in Dunedin have a key scanner (only one in Dunedin apparently) so they just scanned that key (the worn one) and typed in the code to this machine they have which laser cut me a generic spare and i gave them that genuine blank I've had for a bit now to use every day oh, and when I went to the dealer they weren't very helpful... "the only way to get your key code is to remove the lock" and when I got them to order in a new pair of keys.. they got a pair of bloody tiny "spare" keys.

sascha 17 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 Yesterday I fixed my bonnet release mechanism and got the furthest so far with fixing my central locking. Turns out my old control unit does work, so after buying a new one from Ray at HellBm I now have a spare, anyone know what they're worth? I don't know how much I paid for it because I got it together with a whole lot of other stuff from him. Am I right in assuming that the drivers door lock actuator is different to the rest? Surely it must have some kind of sender which tells the control unit to lock/unlock the other doors? Does anyone have a picture or part number for the actuators for drivers door, passengers door, rear doors (if they're different) and boot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
