What are your favourite Bimmercode changes?
My two favs are the amber sidemarker light delete and M sport start up animation!

The amber lights still turn on when activating turn signal. Euro spec cars don't have those amber light sidemarkers, so it can't be all that bad.

The data shows otherwise. Lots of conversation about this here over the years if you wish to read about it. Good luck!

That does it! This thread is forcing me to do a search for Bimmercode and necessary hardware cuz some of the initial responses are making me go "yeah, that's exactly what I want changed." Thanks to all!

The FMVSS requirement, based on the research, required a minimum square inch area of sufficient amber color illumination (not white). If the headlight wrap met the standard, it would have been known during the early design phase and the cost of the amber side marker would have been saved.

They just have to be ugly amber. That's why BMW able to alternate from big incandescent amber pre-LCI to a tiny little amber LED strip on the LCI and still meet approval. That rules you speak of where written in a time when standard sealed-beam units was the only option and was pretty weak from the side. Before headlights of today that are made out of LEDS and became much more visible from the side. These archaic rules was just never revised to match current technology or light standard equipment. Like I said, I'm with you safety, there is a lot of dumbass drivers here in NY but I coded off the markets and the upper brow still plenty visibility from the side of the vehicle. |

Is the fog light just the extra square shaped light above the bar?
