I find it very handy for diagnosis (when the car chucks a warning light) clearing codes (stop error messages coming up when you install new bits like tail lights etc) and for coding (digital speedo, annoying seat belt ding etc etc). I have found it to be very handy

If you don't want to splash out on the full version, swing by anytime and I'd be happy to code a few things for you
Will PM you shortly!

Mod 22 - M3 DTC Instrument Cluster

I installed my first interior mod today. Actually it is more accurate to say Vincent (aka Vtl) installed and coded my first interior mod today. He is a absolute wizard when comes to electronics and had the cluster, pulled apart, coded, installed and calibrated in a couple of hours Legend.

Pic 1 & 2 - Old and new cluster
Pics 3 & 4 - Disassemble and soldering work
Pic 5 & 6 - Recode and testing
Pic 7 & 8 - Fitting and finished install

The cluster looks much better when its illuminated in comparison to the oem 335i unit, and it also adds a lot more sophistication to the cabin where I feel as though the oem 335i cluster is rather drab...

Now you need a M3 steering wheel socks!! That was one of the best mods I had done to my 335i, the 335i piece feels extremely cheap imo

Good job Socket - the M3 cluster is a subtle and classy upgrade.

+1 on the M3 tiller - it's a must do now with that cluster!!

Rewire the paddles while you got the wheel off as well so they work like normal paddles (left paddle for downshift, right paddle for upshift):

Mod 23 - Blacked out trim

There were a couple of hints that the sliver trim needed to go.
Trim now wrapped in gloss black
