Well here is my first post, I`m hoping that it`s pretty straightforward where is the indicator flasher relay located as I need to change this for a relay that sorts out the LED fast blinking problem. Thanks

Can't help you on the relay location, but i just added a couple of resistors to my LED blinkers, that fixes the problem just fine.

What size resistors did you use and how did you wire them in ?

Nice, but why your M5 doesn't have the M5 side mirrors?

Please remove the M5 emblem from your car.

It does now I just fitted them today. Its actually a 525D m sport with full geniune M5 parts conversion. I know some might say it`s abit tacky to do this but I love the look of the M5 but want the fuel economy of a diesel, it`s a win win situation in my book.
