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.
A full genuine M5 conversion would include a V10

Sorry did I not mention that it did have a V10 which was bored out to a V12 with twin flux capacitors and warp drive.

boring your engine would only slightly change the cubic inches/centimeters the flux capacitors are no big deal, i have them on my lawn mower

Please remove the M5 emblem from your car.
I have taken onboard your request and will wait until it rains then go out and take it off.

Hi

There is NO relay for the blinker function , it's an integraded function in the LM ( light Modul ) so you can NOT just change a relay.

You will as earlyer mentioned , have to mount some small resistores in order to get the "blink frekvens" right.

Regards

What size resistors did you use and how did you wire them in ?
20 ohm, 10 watt resistors.
These imitate 8 thru 10 watt blinker bulbs.
I put them in my back light fixtures (easy to open them up), just soldered them between both blinker light terminals.
In front, i spliced them into my wiringloom.

And when i was done, i thought: "It would've been easier to buy some bulbs with integrated resistors"
