Welcome dude :rollsmile:

What u mean turn on the lights? With my e90 with xenons u cant turn on lights in the middle. Ur xenons acts as light for normal driving and high beam. The center are just dummies for lack of better word. Hope this helps. If it were bixenons both would work. I stand to be corrected

Welcome!! Like the color combo, just like mine :rollsmile::rollsmile::rollsmile:

The lights are best kept on Auto, not sure if it's your 1st BMW but on the light controller there's 4 modes, dead center is 0 - off, one to the left is A for Auto - that will automatically switch them on as conditions get darker, one to the right is just the parking/DRLs and then extreme right is main headlights - i.e. xenons. Hope that makes sense, I keep it on Auto, then the DRLs are on daily. :coolShake:


Post some more interior pics, I love the red !! :cartel:

To turn on those lights, there is a stalk behind the wheel on the left. You use them to indicate the direction in which you intend to turn. I believe other manufacturers call them "indicators". I know BMW drivers consider the use of indicators as "giving the game away" but i've seen on rare occasions some BMW drivers use them, usually in "hazard" mode (the button on the center of the dash by the air vents) after spinning off the road during a highveld cloudburst.

All of the best with the new ride!

All dealerships sell the OEM MPerformance kits, but there are good reps out there for much cheaper, check the forum advertisers!!

Lovely car mate and great colour combo too. My wife has the same spec with red leather and the 19s too.
I spec'd it with a colour coded m performance boot spoiler - I think sporty BMWs need to come with colour coded boot spoilers as std.
CF boot spoiler may look a bit too stark if that's the only black item on the car.IMO

I'd take a photo now but I'm in my boxers and the neighbours will complain :rollsmile:
