The lighting for the door locks is more red than the rest of the interior.
Genuine BMW, broken switch:

"OEM" Febi switch:

What a stupid difference, but it bothers the crap out of me. The Genuine switch is a laughable $40+!
Guess I'll be returning this one to FCP and buying a used switch off eBay...

When my thermostat failed recently, I noticed that the PO replaced the original with Febi (I think) which had the bmw logo scratched off. I bought a genuine BMW thermostat to replace it and it had a bmw logo as well as wahler (I think). Basically they are not made by the same company and makes me think that just because the bmw logo is scratched off of a part, it doesn’t mean that it is an OE part.Quote:

If that was the case, it never would have had the BMW logo on it to begin with. They don't make a part just to scratch the logo off. lolQuote:

Picked the car up from the shop today. Time to finish sanding the trunk and get some protection on the CF. I'll get around to the hood once I have some more time set aside. Also plan to order a new engine splash guard and wheel well panels. Gonna be a busy fall and winter.

Been a strange couple of days, car got hit and between two body-shop estimates looks like its going to be 3-4k and 2 weeks w/o my car.
On the bright side my new floor mats and mafia stickers came in the mail :dueling
