Evening guys

I have an e91 320d touring SE and want to add the climate control panel and just want to know how easy this will be? Is it just a case of adding the panel and the vent control or is it more in depth?

Thanks

Rich

How easy is it to add an auto dim rear view mirror? Is it plug and play? Have found one on eBay going cheap and am really interested....

Thanks

This is how my dash screen looks, as you can see I have symbols at the top but nothing at the bottom.... Any thoughts as to a resolve??

Thanks Jack

Looking at putting some carbon fibre engine covers on from M-Style, any thoughts people?

Rear lights... Canbus errors, the computer (LCM) will not recognise them if they're not error-free LED's !

Stick with Brembo ;)

Carbon wrap??? What colour is the car?

Wiring loom is there for all mirror types, WCM module needs upgrading.

Thanks Jack, as for the lights, they are LCI lights so does the LCM need updating?

Found a full set of Brembos and pads from apmotorstore for £230.... Will put them on order when I get back off hols.

The car is sparkling graphite in colour and the carbon wrap is just protect the roof..... Where I work is near loads of seagulls and don't want the paint damaged.

When you say WCM, what do you mean? Is it an easy upgrade as I really like power fold mirrors

Thanks

Been a while since I have been on here due to being busy with work. Gave the car a really good detail and a machine polish too... Took 7 hours in total!

Seeing as mine is an SE model I don't think the power folds are a simple plug and play so have given up on these. However I have turned my attention to fitting a blue tooth iPhone module under the arm rest, and have already acquired the cradle, just need to source the snap in adapter for my iPhone 4S. Also it will be going in to a BMW specialist to check out the dash problem and also to sort out a lack of turbo problem that has just happened.

Also going to be getting the windows tinted to 20% and also the roof wrapped in carbon fibre effect to help protect from bird !Removed!.

Also the MOTis due in October and I really need to get all the brakes changed...... I do over 500 miles a week for work, so what do you guys think would be best to go for? Pagid, Brembo??

Forgot to say I added rear LED lights to the rear, just the outer ones and it has sent all the indicators going mad. How can I rectify this? Do they need coding to the car?

Thanks in advance

Hi Dabsy

Thanks for the help, yes it was bought from a car dealer (not BMW) so will give them a call ASAP. And yes the screen is blank all the time.

The power fold is a great option so off to eBay I go.

The wipers I will have a play with when I get a chance.

Thanks again

So I have had my BMW for 3 days now.... And I !Removed! love it!! Such a solid drive and it eats up the miles (I do 500 per week) with ease! I just have a few questions .......

1. The LCD screen between the dials (the bottom one) is not working, is this a fuse possibly or do I need to go to my local Dealer? The top screen works with no issues...

2. I seem to have the sensor for rain/auto lights on the windscreen but the options are not there. Is it possible to add the switches to activate or not that easy?

3. I want to add power fold mirrors, is this the case of adding the mirrors and switch and a relay to make this happen? It was that easy with my Ford Mondeo.....

4. Does anybody know of any BMW specific breakers in the south that I could go raid for some interior bits (a few of mine are faded and I'd like to update them if possible)

Any help with these questions would be much appreciated, I'm loving the car and will be detailing it very soon, giving it a machine polish and really bringing the colour out! Pics will follow when this happens but for now here she is .......

thanks

Rich

Oh man, I have a Lamborghini driving thrill day in Oxfordshire on that day so will miss this! Such a shame.....

Deposit paid today, and will picking it up on Tuesday now. As soon as I have it in my hands, it will get a deep clean in and out, washed polished and waxed. Of course, pics will follow. I'm looking forward to the keyless start, the nice motorway miles and the head turning looks.

Then the fun will begin....

Gutted..... I'm in Fuertaventura then, would have been nice to meet up as I'm a new bmw owner! Maybe next time.....

Thanks for the help gents, certainly food for thought! Brembos may be a no go at the moment as nearly £400 for the lot.... The power folds are nt that important so can be researched for a later date.

When you say E91 era, do you have pics of what I'm looking for?

So put a deposit down on my 320d E91 today ready to pick on Saturday. Can't wait as this is my first bmw! All it will need is a good clean (I'm a member of detailingworld.com so not an issue) and some new brakes.... But the fun will begin in the driving.

So my questions begin.....

Are there any known issues with the E91 - engine or anything else?

I want to add power folding mirrors, how simple is this?

Want to change the alloys to MV2's - again how easy is this?

I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes to Brembo?

Hope you guys can help, forums have been a great help to me in the past

Thanks

Rich

Are they off a 5/6/7 series?

These are off a 3 series e46.....

Thanks for that, very helpful. These are the wheels I have seen, would I have any issues fitting them ?

Hi guys

Completely new to bmw's been a ford man in the past but want something reliable now!

Buying a 320d estate this week on a 55 plate, and just want to know what E model it is as I really don't understand which is which unfortunately.

I am already looking to replace the alloys on this to 18" bmw alloys and have found a decent set local to me on eBay for £495.00.

I'm really looking forward to driving the bmw and as I do a lot of motorway miles, will be much needed.

Hope you guys can help with my question and I'm sure ill have a few more to come

Thanks

Rich
