Thought I would share a recent project inside my trusty 2005 325CI. The stock amber LED's were a bit too dull for my liking, so after much debate, I decided to swap all of the amber buttons for blue, while retaining some elements of the stock amber. I installed blue LED's for the steering...

Good day everyone, I recently replaced my heater core in my 2004 E46 330ci Coupe. When I released the 4 bolts that hold the steering column to the dash bracket (4 large bolts) this fell out from the back left side of the steering column. I did not see exactly where it came from and I didn't...

Hi everybody! I'm totally new to this forum. I'm not sure if I need to post this somewhere else (please be nice, I'm entirenly new to forums). But a post from Paraklas got me here about Coupé rattles: https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=605933 BUT. Nothing seems to be fixable about...

hey gang, a weird thing happened with my '03 wagon this weekend, and now I'm stranded. Yesterday, the tailgate and rear light indicator on the dash went on but I had no problems otherwise. It did go off at one point, but then came on again. I was running errands and stopped and started with no...

Hello fanatics, i need some advice from you. I saw a lot of DIY's about integrating a tablet in a e46, but i want to ask what are the options for choosing a tablet? I saw a lot of people going with Nexus 7 but what are the other options? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Info...

I left the lights on in my car, so I had to jumpstart it. Got it running, but the dash is now completely dead. I drove to autozone, and had them charge and test the battery. It started at 0%, but after they charge it, apparently it tested out ok. Now the car starts, runs, and drives perfectly...

Hey All, Long time BMW owner, first time poster. Title says most of it. I went away for Christmas break for 3 weeks and came back to find my computer (with the mileage, temp, etc.) blank (light still on, but blank). The car still works fine so I think nothing of it. Fast forward 2 days and I...

Hello forum, I am trying to use the unused switched +12V UGDO connection in the dash area for a power source. The green/blue wire (which I've read is supposed to give +12 switched) gives nothing (ground) but the gray/red does indeed give switched 12V, with the caveat that it's only on when the...

I want install iPhone 6 plus into dash with Soundmanca slide kit to replace my factory stereo in BMW E46. I was considering all options around. 1. I thought about holder and BT adapter, but my BMW Professional (EU) pixels are dying and it's impossible to find new display for this particular...

Hello everyone, I want to start off with saying I'm not new to modifying cars, however, I'm having a pretty hard time stripping out everything I want behind the dash of my 2000 e46 sedan. I have seen this DIY for stripping down to the dash, and I have gotten more than this far...

Help, my car won't lock with the fob, and every time I get in the car the dash beeps a bunch and it does the same thing when I get out. The key fob won't lock the car so I have to use the actual key in the door, how do I fix this?

Will this work on our e46? If so, I'm going to buy it. Also, is the brand any good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007LEG2K/ref=s9_al_bw_g263_ir09?tag=gmgamzn-20

As I was driving home today, I got out of my 2001 325Ci and when I turned the lights off and took the key out of the ignition the car was still beeping as if the lights were on. When I drove it later I realized that some of the lighting on my dash was not working. The background was fine but the...
