Some new Pedal Haus pedals from m5guy just arrived...thanks Kimo
Guy wrapped up the pedals almost as good as the things I get from IND lol...hopefully I'll get the beast back soon

If anyone local wants my aluminum M pedals for the low price of free, let me know or I'm throwin em out

[m5 guy]

Glad you like them. Let me know when you want more parts. Say the engine cover for example. I much rather sell my stuff to you guys here on the forum instead of resorting to eBay.

The engine cover I'm going to attempt to paint myself, as for your other parts...are you parting out the rotors

A quick teaser pic of the new LED headlights and H&R 1.2'' drop...as soon as we figure out the PIA coding and remount the Vorsteiner front lip, the beast will finally be home

Congrats on the headlights! I
Its absolutely one of the "Must do" mods for our vehicles.

Going to Mpact East?

I just registered my X5M for the roll race event on Friday and the show on Saturday...
host of vendors and roll racing on Friday!

Looking forward to this.
Hoping you will be there to represent and share your X5M!

Thanks, I agree this is one of my favorite mods as of yet...it really does give the e70 an updated look...now all we need to figure out is how to code the headlights, apparently BMW removed the retrofit coding out of its servers and is no longer available in the US

I'm going to mpact but I will be in my friends e46 m3...I'm taking my truck to bimmerfest

Thanks...it's a pricey and complicated mod but having real LED headlights is night and day over our dim outer rings I haven't had true LED headlights since my 335 so I'm excited at the very least

You have access to an autologic? It can do the coding easily. It's an option. Also make sure you have the newest frm, won't work otherwise.

Flip flop!
Take the e46 to Bimmerfest and the X5M to Mfest!

My buddy is an BMW master tech and still can't figure it out, he tried with the autologic and still wasn't able to code the headlights...also tried with the original and new frm3 to no avail...he's been trying to code the headlights for the past 5 days now, hopefully he can resolve this issue soon

My buddy already registered his car for mpact to race it...I doubt my x5m will be ready by then

Hmm...

The autologic the shop used seemed simple enough. He just went to the frm module, retrofits, LEDs. It was all touch screen too. You need the newest frm too. We tried with the older frm and it didn't work. Installed the new one and it went perfect.

I'm pretty sure he tried that but I'll reach out to him to confirm...the frm is the footwell module correct? I should of just bought an 2013 w/ LED's to avoid this nightmare!

You will get it worked out.

^what m5guy said.

a new FRM3 (footwell module) was the final link for me that allowed everything to talk to each other and to accept coding. Be sure to get the latest FRM3 from BMW: It will be identified with an orange dot on it. Once that module is replaced, you should be able to code yours too.

A new frm3 module was used and still was unable to code the headlights

Waiting for one of my buddys friends in Cali who's an expert when it comes to coding to attempt to code the headlights remotely

[gixxerboy63]

Hmmm.
Did you receive all the updates from BMW before starting the mod?
Did you use the appropriate wiring harness?
Check all your connections and pun outs?
Get Latest FRM3 with orange dot (orange dot is critical)
Code with Autologic?

I had issues with mine because the instructions told me I could use my original FRM, but it wound not code. After exhausting everything else, I finally put the Orange Dot FRM in and everything came together after coding.... 0 issues!

******t with Gatoferez... he may have more insight since he did his more recently. believe he had similar issues as you are having.

Truck was brought to the dealership and had the latest update...wiring harness works properly and connections were double checked. I let him know about the FRM3 with the orange dot...I'm still waiting to hear back from him with some good news...thanks for the info brother

[Cattivo]

Finally some good news...the new LED headlights are working and really transform the look of the front end only issues I'm having now is trying to get the beast to pass emissions...hopefully this will all be resolved soon
