Yes Power fold and heated, I think there's a third feature that the three pin comes with but I got it from a member on the forum.

Me: My front passenger turn signal stopped working, easy I must have to just replace the bulb.

BMW: SIKEE! you woulda thought we made it that easy, You have to buy a whole $180 led assembly and replace it.

I drove it about 300 miles and it would have been an enjoyable experience if it weren’t for the NASCAR race that broke out. Why do people barely drive the speed limit and camp out in the left lanes? Or those that speed up, then immediately slow down then speed up and flash their lights at you? And then there was the delay as they pulled the 18 wheeler out of the ditch. It was not a fun drive.

Installed a back up camera! I couldn't figure out a clean way to mount the screen until I came across this post, so I ordered the oddments tray off eBay and the camera and screen off AliExpress for a total of $80.

Some installation notes:
- Make sure your camera has a long 4-pin micro connector, otherwise you cannot run it through the rubber conduit in the trunk jamb.
- The camera/trunk switch combo takes a bit of finagling to install but it fits perfectly.
- To power the camera, you will need a generic 4-pin relay using constant 12v for power and the reverse bulb wire as the trigger.
- Running wires through the rubber conduit is easy if you spray some silicone into the conduit and use a coat hanger to pull the wires through.
- Running the RCA cable through the interior is also easy as all the trim just pops off.
- The screen I ordered included a "dashboard mount" with 3M doublesided tape. I used this to mount the screen to the tray.
- I tapped into the 12v socket wiring to power the screen.
- I relocated the 12v socket under the center console with two charging cables coming out from behind the screen.

Parts:
- Oddments tray, 51169198283 (~$30)
- Camera ($30): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...591059997.html
- 4.3" screen ($20): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-3-...760347963.html

Made some logs for analysis by Twisted Tuning. I am overboosting due to a hardware issue, but am sure that Justin can resolve it.

What to do?

Now that I've had my 335i (2010) for over a year I want to have some fun. Looking to make it louder and faster. What would be some recommendations? Iits Msport trim and cold air. Everything else is stock.

I looked at changing the head deck but man that's a pain.

Much appreciated.

1) Replace the plastic chargepipe

2) Before proceeding to #3, ensure all maintenance is up to date: VCG, OFHG, All fluids, HPFP, Spark Plugs, Coils, Injectors, etc.

3) If looking for "fun" in terms of speed or power or noise: Go FBO or close to (downpipes, FMIC, intake, etc. + tune)

4) Enjoy

*#2 is very crucial, maintenance is key with any car...especially a N54 BMW.
