But it's for hazard lights right ? Why would they tailgate you ? Why would you turn on the hazards while driving ?

Understood, personal preference.

I guess I don't understand why it's necessary to fold the mirrors at all, except in a few situations when you think the mirrors might get damaged by passing cars or other things.

Nice to have that feature I guess but the thing I worry about is a malfunction of the motor or relay that folds the mirrors, if you use them too much. I just think that the more you use it, the more likely it is to break, which is why I wouldn't use it, except in a few limited situations.

But, to each their own. Enjoy!

Can you connect me with your guy? I need injectors coded

[Coupeit88]

You didn't see my post on this page?

The guy played me, all he does is factory BMW coding. I guess it was my fault because I wasn't more specific, all I asked was "do you do coding?" The guy works for BMW of Greenwich and does side work at his garage. I can hook you up with matinence problems. Just not the coding

Oh, I think I might have missed that post. Injector coding is something that the dealership does when they replace your injectors for new ones, they code then, do they can operate properly.

Agree it is like with everything else and you do make a good point by saying it is there if you need it but why folding all the time, now when I think about it and my long winter trips when I get home with 2 inch of ice build up on the front part of the mirrors, that can be an issue. I will have to check if it is a fuse or relay, relays do reset itself, fuse, hmm, I might be spending a fortune replacing them
Any way, good point man, makes me re-think that option over again

Anyone in the NYC area know where I can get it coded for a good price.

ONEBADMOFO can code your car. He can do it remotely from Stratford Connecticut or you can drive to New York City. Here is the link http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=onebadmofo

Are you sure this is not Brake Force Display with the rear fog lights illuminated under hard braking?

That is brake force display, one of the versions at least, you can also enable flashing under heavy braking.

But to the couple people in here who said they wouldn't code the car to make the AE brighter, why not? Have people had trouble with it in the past?

I have my AE coded to 100% brightness. It's a BMW setting it's not going to strain any electrical. Just US specs that don't allow it. It's like not being allowed to have fog and high beam on at same time. Just stupid US regs. They look great and now I don't have to buy expensive brighter bulbs.

Are you referring to not having dimming at night, or are you referring to brighter daytime brightness? If you're talking about the latter, it has nothing to do with US laws. The DRLs are run at something like 9V or 10V instead of the standard 12V. This dims the bulbs, but it also makes them last longer, which means BMW saves a few bucks on their free maintenance program.

So whats the consensus here? Is it ok to brighten the AE a couple of points without having issues with the car?

remove legal disclaimer if you have an idrive

I have had no issues for 2 years. It has nothing to do with life of bulbs or anything. It's the same reason the fog lights are not allowed on at same time as high beams, just a US reg. They look much better a little brighter. Never had any issue.

yes. from the production date 03/2007 and up they have frm2 or frm3 so the AE runs as day time lights. what do you need help with? you said your car runs AE as DRL isn't that what you want?

Sorry I wrote it wrong, they aren't day time lights. I have to turn on the parking lights to see them.
