I bought their Solaris invisibulbs for my front and rear turns and did the invisi xenon white ones for reverse, nice quality, no complaints and they ship fast!

Just bought the updated E70 illuminated shifter. Should be here next Monday. I just updated all my interior wood trim to the piano black and thought that shifter would look nice. If it totally sucks I'll chuck it in the garbage and go back to the black leather.

I was just looking at that actually.....thinking if there was a way to make use of the side button as a more ergonomically positioned kill for the PDC. First things first though, let me know if that side "button" actually moves or if its just an extruding piece of plastic.

Will do. I like where your head is at. Seems if those buttons actually move we can use them for something.

Went at read the literature...

Notes / Warnings

The Parking button at the top is non-functioning and does not suppress. Likewise the side button does not function or suppress when pushed.

On top of that, the "+" and "-" signs for the steptronic are backwards on the illuminated model for the E53.....Bummer.

Im eyeing those carbon fiber steering wheel covers. Im hesitant to do flat di-noc gloss looks so much better when its done right with CF

Bought complete OEM piano black trim off eBay. Total cost with shipping was $268. Absolutely love the look with the black interior.

Have used Bimmian before too, lightning fast shipping! Even to Australia.

Products = quite good.

Although the Weisslicht LED license plate assemblies I got are not a direct fit, so I still have not bothered trying to make em fit. the Weisslicht LED globes for the corona rings I got were awesome for about 4 months till one of them died.

Have not tried to return or get replacements so I cannot comment for their support unfortunately!
