Thanks ??, I followed the YouTube descriptions, used 2 different ones depending on where in the process I was.
The biggest hassle was to get the airbag off, so that took probably 5-10 min and a few tries, after that it was quite easy and uneventful.
This is the one I looked at ...
yes you're right but this can still be controlled by the ECU, the power over the fuse may be there all the time and get delivered to the LEDs when it's needed. But I'm not 100% sure so I hope someone who knows can confirm either way
that would be very interesting to know, so if someone has answer to this it would be great.. but I fear that the change of color is ECU controlled so there's not much to tap into
coming back to this, would this mean that the US cars are louder from the factory? I guess less holes means more sound out back? or I'm missing something here?
I'm thinking of doing the mod but would love to have a non-modded muffler as a backup, however getting a used EU spec muffler is...
I used AvalonKing https://avalonking.com/shop/ceramic-coating/armor-shield-ix-diy-kit/
had good reviews online so that's the one I ended up buing.
I've used it on 4 cars now and I'm happy with the results.
Not sure how it compares to a pro job but as long as it works OK I'm not gonna pay 1100...
I recently purchased this one : https://www.ebay.com/itm/133825062283
It was really cheap compared to a lot of other spoilers, and I thought might as well try as I'm not in a hurry to get it on due to winter conditions over here. It arrived within a week, which is amazing in it self :D
I didn't...

They are not adjustable, but like I said not so intrusive that it's a problem driving at night with the strip on.
I pushed the strip in between the dash panels, didn't glue it and so far (two months later) it seams to stay in place.

There are a few threads here of guys installing footwell lights, here's good one ;

Good luck ??
Nope, the only thing I opened, just partially, was the triangle trim piece at the end of the dash, the cable runs through a gap there and down to the fuse box. I can try to take a pic tomorrow ?
This is strange, they should be stored as you correctly pointed out.
I haven't seen anything in the bimmercode that indicates that this could be coded to inactive (don't shoot me if it's there and I missed it) don't see why you would want do disable this anyway
I'm assuming that the mirrors...
Tried to.. and I think it looks ok, the strip is cheap ebay thing, i can try to dig up the order tomorrow if you're interested.
It looks much brighter than it actually is in the pics, don't have any problems with it at night but I'm actually thinking of putting in a switch.
I'm planning to ad...
Almost all garages here are detached, the rear bumper and the exhaust are 2 inches from the door (a lot of crap in front of the car..?) so I'm not worried about the exhaust fumes in that respect. I agree if it hadn't been a detached garage it would be a totally different story ?
Mine won't, so it's either a EU vs US cars difference or mine is just uncooperative. As soon as the engine is running the fob seams to go inert.
And now I feel really stupid, I honesty didn't think about the physical key.. talk about having a senior moment ?
Completely forgot that we actually...
