E91 > M3 coding needed

Hey guys, current tackling a conversion to M3. Right now I'm in phase 1 which is just interior and exterior. Trying to source a good donor for drivetrain. With that said I have various coding I need to take care of now: Dynamic xenon headlights, headlight washer delete, fog lights delete, seat airbag reset, side mirrors autodim, reverse cam install, etc. need some assistance in phase 1 and possibly moving forward when I tackle to drivetrain swap. Anyone able to help? Have a laptop and cable just not the time or expertise to code myself.

Thanks!

I know my stock side mirrors do not have the auto dim feature but my rear view mirror does. The M3 e90 side mirrors I installed include the autodimming glass. My hopes is it's a simple coding to get it to work properly. Car isn't back from shop so I have no clue if I need it or not.

to be honest with you I am still puzzled with this side mirror auto dim function, yes some say it has to be programmed, my came factory installed but here is the thing, I park inside the warehouse and bright lights, vehicle off, I work on the car, not running, then when I am ready to leave I start the car and side mirrors are normal, then if the warehouse is dark and I leave to the bright outside light all dimmed already, I know that cause my driver side does not have the plastic rim on the glass (not sure why) and I can see the difference in color , so not sure if dimming is just naturally or it has to be powered up anyway, hope you will find some help in your area

The car will need to be coded for Autodim function to work. I say this assuming the car also has Folding mirrors from factory. If not you will need to add the wiring physically to door harness.

For dynamic xenons. Are you adding these or removing? 9x out of ten some re-wiring will be needed either way.

The rest are simple to handle if you need help pm me.

I do have folding mirrors already on the e91 and the rear mirror is autodim. As for the headlights I'm coming from bi xenon LCI lights. Wondering if I need I need any wiring for the pre-LCI bi xenons.

I've got everything wired for the rear cam just need it coded. Also figured coding out fogs and headlight washers is easy.

You should be all set then. Just add VO for Autodim mirrors and recode CAS and NFRM to factory setting. Do the same for your Headlights as a start and take it from there.

AFAIK E9X wasn't equipped from Factory with Rearview Cameras but it is doable. Just not code and go option. You may need to use an Emulator to get it done.

Nice, yeah I have the emulator installed for the rear cam.

. I'll post up a copy of my CIC file and you should be able to compare with yours.
