Yes i agree

where is this resistor located and do i need to get it from the dealer ? Thanks Keith

Welcome kmg3356,
You can get the resistor from our board sponsor, Morristown BMW, or any other BMW parts supplier of your choice. PM Morristown for a quote.

The FSR is located on the passenger side of the center console, up near the footwell area under the dash. See the DIY article on the home page for more details. ;)

i got problems with my fsr any one no where it is located on r/h drive models
