My second round of tests, I found these door guards to work 100%. They are rubber and have tapered edges so they blended in really good on the mirrors. The color also blends pretty good with the surrounding rubber molding. I wasn't sure how I would like it because they do have a ghost carbon...

It's raining here but I managed to run some tests on wind buffeting ideas. I tried with two bullets mounted on the mirrors. They were hard plastic but adhered with 3M tape. On the test run the noise was still there 100% and it didn't seem to make a difference at all. I then installed them...

Brake Force Display is already in there? I haven't played with Bimmercode in awhile. According to this video, BFD is buried in the Front Electronic Module (FEM) & Rear Electronic Module (REM). Here is a sample video of BFD. I've had almost two people come close to smashing into me, so I...

tadda, I've been trying to dig that information up to be exactly sure. I came across a thread on a BMW Forum discussing this but can't find the thread anymore so I was hoping someone would chime in with any info or clarification.

The codes I'm waiting for are the Brake Force Display and also how to Boost Amplifier Power. Supposedly on the Z4, there is a parameter where you can select whether the car is a convertible or hardtop, which will raise/lower the output of the radio system. Of course we currently have hardtop...

Thought I would share some cheat sheets for Expert Mode on some of the other cars that Bimmercode works with. I didn't create these sheets, only found them online. It kind of gives you an idea of what things you can do with it. There are a few that I see listed that I would like to have done...

Excellent!!! I've been waiting for the BDC to become available. The next ones I'm waiting for are the FEM and REM to become available.

With all the stories posted and news it is clear that alot of Toyota Service Centers are not trained or lack knowledge on servicing the car in many ways. I've always had great service at the BMW Dealership and wanted to see if anyone else was using them over the Toyota Dealer for non-warranty...

Awesome job on the directions and diagrams! Thanks!

Which panel is bolted? I'm planning to tear mine apart in the next couple of days and don't want to pull on it and crack it. Thanks.

Just get a USB Extension cable and route it to the glove box or just tuck it behind the center console, then just bury the cable in the cracks and crevices to give you a clean look. I would also consider a right angle adapter to help lay the cable down. You can find them both for less than...

Good point. My driveway is really steep and I scrape going in/out everyday but its only the air dams underneath. Those are flexible to a degree and designed for stuff like that. However, it does sound really bad when you hear it. My neighbor was in the yard one day when I was pulling in and...

Thanks for posting this! I was just searching for this information! I plan to add some dynamat to the subwoofer area and also add some polyfill to help with the Q-Factor of the subwoofer boxes which look like To-Go containers from last nights dinner! I'll report back on how it turns out.

Problem area is if any part of your hand is touching both areas, (lock & unlock), the car won't know what to do. I ran into this scenario myself a couple of times. When locking, make sure you only touch the three grooves on top with one finger. You have to hold your one finger there for a...

clementc, that sucks about the wires being too short! Did you extend them or return it? I just came across this tread where someone was using this bolt for the ground due to the same thing. https://www.supramkv.com/threads/battery-charger-placement.2896/

legacy_etu, I timed it many times on several fuse locations as I was trying to find one that cut of immediately when the car was turned off. I didn't like have my radar powered after turning off the car. The ones that did stay active cut off exactly at the 6 minute mark. There were a couple...

What shock setting are you running with over these bumps? Comfort or Sport? If comfort, I would recommend trying Sport and also try hitting the bumps at angles to help reduce the scrape factor.

kayos90, I'm actually stumped. I don't have any suggestions to keep them off. Only option is to drive really fast and then they will all get transferred to the front bumper. LOL. What's the last thing to go through a bugs mind when it hits the windshield?.....His a$$..... Let me know if you...
