    How to move the trunk release button to here...?



    maybe next to SPORT button? not my car, but from this thread

    The reason is im somewhat used to see the trunk release button on that area, like in my e53 and my current e70...

    any DIY???

    i did a quick search and came up with nothing
    i would assume that it would consist simply of

    -removing button

    -add extra wire so the button reaches further (so cute the button wire then sodder more wire to it)

    - before soddering the added wire to the button, take apart center console

    - feed the wire under the carpet and under the center console

    -fabricate a place to put the button, whether cutting a square hole next to sport button

    -test fit,

    -then sodder the added wire to the button (while button is already in place, next to sport button)

    -then put it all back and find a way to cover the rectabgular hole where the trunk release button used to be (could use moldable plastic or something)

    the hard part i think would be fitting the button next the the sport button, cutting a rectangular hole and making a bracket for the button

    BTW does where the button sit now have a bracket that can be melted or attatched to fit behind the button bar, (next to the sport button)?


    hope this helped or ignited some kind of idea

    Sorry, didn't notice the link. He says he did it himself...

    "The Sport-Button is a thing which is developed by me, connected to a sprint-booster-module. If you enable the Sport-Button, the e-Gas is more responsive and aggressive, like a M3 Engine."

    I really like how he painted/clear coated the rear diffuser

    E46 M3 never had that type of automatic shifter so it's not an ///M... but as far as I know the sport button only came with the ///M so this must have been retrofitted....very nicely done I might say...

    I thought it was a German 330Xi? You gotta read the thread. Pretty impressive.
