Don’t you have to insert a fabricated piece such as a lego?

I also want to have an appropriate button

Maybe on pre lci but on my lci all i had to do was trim a few tabs and it works just like the front fog button

I changed my lawnmower oil. It's not my car but I feel like posting it.

I cut a gift card to the same face shape as the piece that activates the front fogs. Superglued it to a bolt with the right length. Wrapped the bolt in electrical tape for a snug fit and to prevent rattling. Haven't had an issue in the year it's been in there and it functions exactly the same as the OEM one. Only difference is the rear fog button doesn't have lettering. To be honest I forgot I did that till now lol

I used two 1x1 legos and a 6x2 cut to line up with the alignment notch in my switch.

a little superglue holds them all together.

Tore down my engine bay to replace what I thought was a faulty knock sensor (2E69 code), turns out a mouse must have chewed through a couple of wires. 1 hour tear down, 3 minutes to solder, 45 minutes to put back together. I'm glad I get to return the knock sensor I purchased.

Bought it Saturday, and joined this forum..

I like them, I want to get rid of my M door sills as well. They're so tacky on a non-M car.

Exactly man, I deleted every ///M badge from the car

Putting the 313's on again though so those will be there

Washed and waxed.....

Although I prefer no M badges, I don't mind them when they're adhered to a performance part (e.g. M-Sport wheels, shift knob, etc.). Like if I could get the ZHP knob without the ///M I would.

But the door sills? Nothing performance about those! I hate the M foot rest too, but that's out of sight 99% of the time so I'm not going to pay money to get rid of it.

What shift knob are you running, the BMW Performance one? I considered it but didn't think it would match the IS trim well, two different colors of aluminium.

[TEKN328i]

today i revamped my shift knob panel trim......one thing tho.....after painting it and reinstalling it- the car starts in m2 when i put it in drive. Any ideas as to why? plus my paddle shifters dont seem to work anymore.
any help would be great.

I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best posting. https://ewriters.pro/

Yep the BMW Performance stuff, I think it matches pretty well



I'm pretty particular lets say and I never noticed it as standing out to me, in fact I never even thought about at all until now you just made me go take another look haha. Since everything is OEM it really doesn't stand out as anything un-ordinary or out of place, I would say technically yes they are a different shade, but I would attribute most of that to the texture in the trim reflecting the light less cuz of the pattern cut into it compared to the flat 'polished' surfaces on the knobs if that makes sense.

[n54malas]

do you have everything out of there ?

Check the shifter wire plug and cables. Most likely you have some stripped wires and it's making contact.
P.S that's how you actually retrofit paddle shifters
