By the way, how much do they charge us for doing this?

The two dealers that I know can do anything you ask them are BMW Toronto and Parkview BMW. They are both new dealers with huge-ass buildings in Toronto.

BMW Toronto also holds some of BMW Canada's offices on the 5th floor. :)

They have you sign a waiver that clears the dealer, the technicians and BMW of any liability with regards to your mod.

This isn't that hard...

Figure out which filament in the bulb is for the parking lights. Take out the bulb and put electrical tape over whichever prong is for the parking light filament. Put the bulb back in and test. Just make sure the tape isn't touching the other prong.

It isn't that simple. There's only ONE filament...at least on the '04s, so if you taped off that ONE prong, not only will your turn signal NOT work, you will also trip the check parking light on your instrument cluster.

That'd be great!
Do you think they'll do the same thing here in Vancouver? :dunno:

Sorry didn't know about the difference on the 04's, I've done the thing on my 01 E39 and it was two pronged.

Damnnn, I called all the dealers in Vancouver, and none of them are able to disable the front turn signals. Anyone knows any other way to disable the front turn signals? =(

Anyone knows? :dunno:
