Hi,I am a new member of the forum and a convert from Mercedes cars to my first BMW.I have purchased a 318i SE first registered July 2008 (08 plate) in Titanium Silver with 50, 000 on the clock.

It has dakota black leather seats,17 inch v spoke 188 alloys,M style steering wheel,extended interior lights package and professional radio as extras.

Now my question,I would like to convert the front lights to white led type, ( are they called angel eyes?) I have tried to Google but am getting confusing answers on whether it is possible on this model.Please can someone advise what size and type of bulbs I need if in fact it is possible...Is it just the side light bulb or do I change headlight as well.?

Regards all, from very confused .

ps

I understand that the model I have was updated in September of 2008,is mine still an E90 series?

Not really sure what you mean about the lights.

You can replace the sidelight bulb with an LED one, aftermarket angel eye's can be bought and fitted but it means taking your headlight unit apart to fit them.

The other option is to keep looking on Ebay for used units with the factory fitted angel eyes

      Missing radio stations and or frequencies in my 2008 635d !!

      Hi to you all out there - again. I thought that I had got a grip of the basics with my 'New to me' 635d and the workings of the radio.I have managed to assign a couple of desired stations into the numbered buttons but I cannot find at least of all Classic Radio -Radio 3 - Radio 4 - Radio Lancashire - Radio Manchester and a couple of others that are just not showing in the selection panel ! Whilst I am at it can some kind sole tell me how to turn on just the ignition so that adjustments can be made without running the engine. A really really lovely car but why oh why are they so complex ? To cap it all this morning whilst on-route to my tyre dealer at a steady 50mph there was a rather loud alarm sounded and an image of a tyre burst forward in the display - there was no deflation of loss of the smallest amount of air in one of the front 'Run-flats' ! I was slowing down for a traffic light controlled island on the M58 just outside of Pemberton,Wigan.

      Good morning Dave. Thanks for your prompt reply. I forgot to mention that indeed my mechanic has replaced the old transmission fluid pan with a new one that has the filter incorporated but never changed the fluid. Is that could be the problem??. I took my car to another transmission specialist and he made a thorough diagnosis and the result is NO codes of transmission errors.

      Morning Mobeen Even with BMW's early i-bus system components that communicate with each other or allowed pass through signals to reach others could be swapped. However they didn't always operate as they should or allow their full operation. They needed not programming but registering to the cars chassis to allow full functionality. I would start by checking all body earth points, BMW love multiple earth points and earth switching so make sure they are good being parked up could have allowed corrosion to start, it wont take much. Use www.realoem.com to check if any enabling codes are needed for the audio/nav system. The steering angle sensor normally calibrates itself if the car is driven forward while going lock to lock What diagnostic system are you using Dave

      Morning Taysir Welcome to the Forum As your "mechanic" had drained the transmission and removed the sump and filter to change solenoids he then put back using old contaminated Fluid and possibly/probably a used contaminated filter ????? it just doesn't make sense. Find another transmission specialist (preferably ZF) and get the trans diagnosed and the fluid flushed and changed Good Luck Dave

      E66 76Li - help needed with errors

      Thanks for your reply David Donor vehicle was exact same spec as my car. comfort heated seats, logic 7, night vision, rear entertainment, fridge, rear air con vents on roof lining, rear window blinds, soft close. There has been no coding done, only the parts have been swapped including a replacement steering angle sensor. Do we have a programming expert on here? Also, audio was working fine when complete logic 7 system was moved from donor car to mine and it worked in my car after swap as well. Car was parked up for winter/rainy months. Started it up 2 weeks ago, installed a brand new Bosch AGM battery which is the correct battery for the car. However, audio system doesn't work anymore. I can't press any icons on the screen using the idrive button.
