These are OEM DRLs that you often find displayed on the service advisor desk..BMW offered me these for my old E60 also but then I rejected as I thought it would look too Audi'ish I got the DRLs and a leather key case complimentary on the whole package F10 retrofit DRLs http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...89&hg=63&fg=95 my previous car was a 2009 ML63 AMG and I really missed the performance and sound when I got the 535i..cant really add a lot of power but this exhaust really gave my smile back which went away with the AMG no drone!

Thanks!
Yes, I did the retrofit at my dealer. The camera is automatically engaged with the reverse gear and also you can use the PDC button to manually activate it. |

already told my service advisor to contact me as soon as BMW announces ECU performance upgrades..don't want to mess up warranty by flashing a non-approved upgrade
since the car is imperial blue, I am not sure how carbon fiber mirrors or front grill would look so want to look at something similar before I do it.. I am still holding myself from doing too many mods at once as I have a habit of changing cars very often plus I don't want to "rice" it up with unnecessary mods..if I keep it for more than 6 months then I will definitely get new wheels and tyres |

The local dealers here are telling me they can't retrofit the camera. It has to come as an ordered option. Has any one else been told this in the USA?

I was told the same by two SA's at nearby dealerships. I've asked the parts guy at the dealership which I trust, and he said that he'd help me to find out what parts I need, but he has no idea whether the system will work without changes to the iDrive system software to enable the video signal's display.

I have Professional NAV and successfully got a retrofit reverse camera..it automatically engaged with the reverse gear and I can also manually enable it by pressing the Parking Sensor button
Regarding coding, the dealer said they only had to enable a single option which enabled the camera! Retrofit part numbers and cost (taken from my invoice) is as below: Part # 66212181317 Retrofit kitRA $872 Part # 66539282420 Control Unit $588 Installation $440 Grand Total $1900 |

update to my mods..
I have installed CF side mirror covers, tinted the car and also installed a CF vinyl eye-brow to make the headlights a little slimmer. I already CF wrapper the fog lamps after installing DRLs and don't use them anymore and the car looks much cleaner this way. Here is the car with new mods..no lights..day time running lights and headlights on..I think this is the best the F10 can look without putting any bodykits. |
