What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[BavarianZHP]

I just finished wire tapping the angel eye triggers to the license plate light so they can be toggled on/off with the parking lights with the LCM switch. Previously I had it tapped to the tail lights, but that method also required some coding. Tapping into the license plate lights instead enables me to re-code the tails back to their default dim settings, which I prefer.

that's weird. tapping into the rear lights shouldn't need any coding. The trigger wire can have as low as 3v to activate the relay.

Mine needed a lot more than 3V to trigger it. 4.5V didn't do it and my rears were around 3.5-4.0V according to the voltmeter. The relay would try to trigger and would just make a bunch of rapid pops but wouldn't stay open. Set is from from Angel Eye Guy.

I was just recently told in another thread on here that you can tap into a wire on the LCM to achieve this, instead of running wires all the way to the back of the car

Swapped out the Silver Cube trim for the Birch today, pics taken about 2 hrs ago :

Birch trim looks good ! The silver cube trim is in high demand. Are you going to sell it ? Just asking, I have one already.

I've thought about swapping my black cube trim for silver to give my black interior some contrast. Also those Z4 seats look so good.

Unsure right now. It's in very good condition (never altered or touched-up) except for a minor ding or two and a one or two tabs broken. With Birch being so rare and irreplaceable - there's no dependability on parts if something happens like airbag deployment - although the trim would be least of my concerns then... Only real reason why I'm keeping another almost complete Birch set on hand actually. Silver cube in decent condition is getting hard to find as well. Plus I like the option to be able to change my mind and swap it out depending on the mood, like switching between jeans and slacks.

Yeah, they look a lot better in person believe it or not - especially from the rear seats. You'll understand once you get your pair. Have some patience it took me a few months of looking around! Good luck with finding your set. Where are you located btw? I can help you with the search - I have scripts I can run.
