I don't quite understand what you're saying about the shutters. They are built into the Xenon light assembly; literally the only thing to do with that is to wire a shutter harness from the connector...

OP didn't mention anything about having halogens. But even in that case, the existing wiring can be reused. The only things new wiring would be needed for would be to wire up the Xenon shutters to...
FYI, if you're ever looking for used parts and you can't get them from a local source, partout, or forum post, eBay is where it's at. It has almost anything you can think of, usually with a large...
And that's why I despise that site with a passion. If I had a dollar for every time I rolled my eyes at the mention of that place I'd be a trillionaire.

I prefer the stock setup personally...

I'm sure you can find someone local but worst comes to worst, I can code it for you if you mail it to me.

I wouldn't expose the belts to any kind of chemicals or sprays as that could potentially degrade the material and cause failure...

Doesn't mean it can't fail. [emoji6]

Take it apart and clean the mechanism.

Depending on price, I might be interested... not looking to spend $1500 on a cluster though.
I replaced the main relay, fuel pump relay, and the ignition switch, as all three were recommended by my former BMW tech friend who has seen a few of those fail.
I did them at the same time at his...
That would've been me... I applied but wasn't selected. :(

That's what I did. It actually failed right before a service station so I replaced it after I rolled in and parked. [emoji28]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I kind of gag a little bit when I see it, honestly...
Let me know if you'll ever consider selling your wheels :)
The metal is just a decorative piece that is attached to the back plastic; there will never be a need to remove the decorative piece by itself.
The plastic piece comes off as a whole with the...
I've had that happen to me. Tried to re-glue it and even epoxy it but it still came loose again. I gave up and replaced the trim.
I think others have had success though.
I would say just buy the kit. I understand your position and you want it to be as simple as possible, so the kit as-is makes the most sense for you.
There's no need to complicate it with where...
Not all facelift sedans had ribbon motors. My early 2003 touring (12/2002 build) has wires instead of ribbons.
I think the switch probably happened 03/2003 and later, as there are several things...
A chinese aftermarket one is about $200 and a Genuine BMW one is $300-400.
The DISA can be tested for functionality and whether it's at risk for failure. Chances are it's fine; it may just be a good idea to rebuild it with the German Auto Solutions DISA rebuild kit instead...
Waiting a few seconds before shutting off isn't necessary on our modern naturally aspirated cars, and even as san said, isn't even really a problem on modern turbo cars either.
How about replacing the pair and then using that spare AS3 on a full size spare? That's what I would do.
When it comes to interior upholstery that sees wear, I've always been pretty sour on dying. Every time I see someone who has dyed their interior, it never lasts for any significant amount of time. ...
I would just recover everything with 9002 if you're worried about it matching. It's harder to match faded alcantara than to just redo all of it to match.
