Virginized the donor CIC, been trying to change the VIN of the new one so that I can load the new FSC certificates. Of course Tool32 is not cooperating (loads to a blank screen after selecting CICR.prg), so I’ve wiped a spare HP laptop to see if it’s something with my Windows 7 install (and I remember now why I avoid Windows like the plague…)
Once I have a process that works, I’ll do a little write-up. |

or even manual install. Can you explain why the VIN need to be changed? I did swap a lot of item, different VIN, and the car runs fine, I can flash it, and use INPA, ISTA, no issue. Yes on a full scan it report mismatch VINs, but no issues. |

Tool32 loads the prg, but clicking it it returns an “invalid argument” error. |

Little things. Had my computers out helping someone with a e39 correctly config their Kombi so I decided to also do a little coding on e91 Sunday, when I bought it had only bixenons for high beam and also for flash to pass, so FTP didn’t work with headlights off. Originally changed it to inner FTP, so they’d work with headlights off and later did the amber Hella bulbs so they were more visible in daylight… frankly sunlight is so bright out here in the cloudless desert you can’t tell if someone’s headlights are on/flashing to you or it is just the sun’s reflection in the housing.
So on Sunday I finally found out how to change it to be inners for flash to pass but have both inner and the bixenons for high beam which adds more light instead of just more height on hi beam. Also changed the Adaptive/auto “A” led to only be on when headlights are actually on, which I prefer.

Neat idea on the hella bulbs Onizukachan. I'm going to copy you after I rebuild mine. Do you by chance have the part # you used?
Things I've done recently- Saturday: Got blue car back. Person who was using it didn't clean it once, trash and dirt everywhere. Oil was a quart low. I was appalled 😳. Washed it & did a "quick" interior detail for an hour. Sunday: went on an amazing mountain run. I had the whole road to myself, really got to put it through its paces (safely) Today: got sick of seeing the muffler from behind the car. Used BBQ flat black paint as a base and topped off with heat resistant satin black. Soo much better. Just needs exhaust tips

Finally got the CIC to match my VIN. Now I need to see why the old FSCs are still present…

HELLA H7 YL Xtreme Yellow Bulb (12V 55W), 2 Pack For about $24. Head up, they are either super easy or a Big Bitch to install, you can use a mirror and long pick tools (not a Phillips, that was my mistake) but if you press the retainers too hard then you will wind up taking the bumper off to take the headlights out to be able to bend/reshape them back. One side only took me 10-15 minutes, the other 8+ hours because of pushing ot hard and tweaking the retainer tab and having take it all off, and rebend it back into position. FYI, You do them from the engine bay, not fender liners,unlike all the videos say. I also did the high temp black on rear of sons r53 JCW’s mufflers because those big SS cans hang over an inch below the bumper. It actually worked fine, no peeling or anything

Onizukachan 'precciate it. And tell me about it. I tried stuffing S V.4s in my 330's set of headlights. Worst idea ever. Many hours of dremeling, cutting, and placing the converter box later, I got it. Never again.
Nice! Curious to see if mine peels. Prep was lazy. Not concerned though, its not a glamour piece, I'll touch up when I have to lol

I gave my E91 some new e90 sport seats from a car that was being parted out. I really like these better than the stock flat buckets.

Once you get them dialed in to how you like em to fit they are sooo comfy. Takes a bit ot get everything Juuuuuuuuuust perfect…
If you ever road trip, set a second setting just slightly more vertical or reclined on back and bottom, just a little bit, and you can switch up positions every hour or so. I’ve done 800+ miles on a day like that and gotten out feeling relaxed and not tired or sore at all.

Every E90 I've worked on has had a condensation sensor code at some point. Do some preventative maintenance and have the windshield installer put a new one on. Much easier for everyone! The new part even comes with a built in guide template for placement

Still having issues with loading the FSCs themselves. The script I have to virginize it doesn’t seem to be working. FSC Tools still shows stored FSCs (rejected but installed). I’m also not sure if I need to use the certificates provided in the repair kit from BMW in addition to the FSCs themselves. Tried both ways but I get an error storing the codes.

I'm still fiddling with the position every time I get in, we'll see how long it takes to get just perfect, but they're already better than the flat ones that came out. |

Oil Change + Windshield Washer Pump/Filter
Small update on the e91 currently at 164449 -
Did an oil change with LM 5w30 and took an oil sample that I shipped off to Blackstone for review Replaced the front windshield washer pump and filter that had failed after almost 14 years. New part number on the pump had tabs I needed to grind off in order to make the connection fit. bottom line this thing is kind of a hassle to get to and replace as it takes a couple hours to get everything out of the way, but once again I have no orange triangle and washer fluid doesn't drain to the ground anymore; so I've got that going for me, which is nice. a small update, but ill take it - Lastly, next moves are: - diff fluid replacement (all records from purchase suggest original fluid!) - brake fluid replacement (along with rotors / pads / etc) - install of the m3 arms in the rear to match the m3 bits which I have installed in the front |
