Although, I am having trouble figuring out how to get the HUD to display km/h instead of mph... the setting in iDrive only seems to affect the digital display in the cluster. Quote:

The guy is a just an idiot who got called on his BS.
Found some taillights on ECS but with a November delivery date. Looks like I'll pick some up off eBay. I read there might be a way to switch bulb colors or use a film, but haven't found a guide. Check UK and German ebay for used ones. They are much cheaper than what ECS sells them for. I'll see if I can find a kit in the US (and hopefully passes TUV standard!) Ebay has them. If you get a specific one for 5 Series, it should all fit into their designated ares in toolbox are in trunk lid. Seems it'll be around $800 to convert the car to pass into Germany, could probably do cheaper with more shopping around.[/QUOTE] Even cheaper. Switch is around $100, Lights should be $300 used, warning triangle and 1st aid kit should be around $50 then you are all set.

Tail lights converted, fog light switch done, radio coded. Just need to load European maps.
Does anyone have experience dealing importing a car with the TUV? There's a company that is offering a homologation service for €1,350 euros. |

Yes, I found my answer to that recently.
I'm also importing my F10 Canadian spec to Japan now. The car has landed and I'm finding out all of these little quirks. My only worry now is the headlight conversion. My car is LHD, and in Japan there are both. I was told that the beam pattern must be changed so I don't blind people when there is oncoming traffic. I just dipped the beam lower on the right, and made it higher on the left. I hope. The only other major change was rear euro tail lights blinking amber. About the coding for radio, did you do it yourself? |

I am also considering shipping my BMW to Germany in December, would appreciate PM for any one who has already done this to let me know what to expect and what I need to change on my 2011 car. I’ve read a lot here about coding, but I don’t know what that is or how I would go about doing it. Any non-SOFA expats in Germany willing to help me would be appreciated. Thanks... Luke

I'm totally illiterate when it comes to coding a BMW. But I can code other things like perl, html, c.
Is there some kit I can buy to do this and hookup some kind of laptop? Or better yet, a link to learn how to do it? |
