I have adaptive Xenons but I also have LM2 due to my cars build date.

Upps yeah sorry ... same as me I got LM2 too ... I referred to LCI only due to they all using LM2 from the get go while LM2 on pre-LCI only available on late model ... keep forgettin' 'bout that ... it didn't work w/ me 'cuz I don't have adaptive Xenon.

Actually, I talked to somebody awhile back that did cornering light w/ his fog on E60, but as you guess it ... it does require adaptive Xenon + LM2 and some re-wiring.

However nothing in idrive. Did the doing Cappl though.
What also doesn't work with is switching the lights on with the truck button on the key.

you need to have the light switch on AUTO for them to work.
Light switch on 'Auto' did the work.

You can be sure you have the LM2.

if you mean your car build is 07/2004 then you have LM1

if you mean 04/2007 which there is no 04/2007 build , but assuming it is , then yes you have LM2

My car was built on 09/03 and I believe I have LM2 because ...if I remember correctly, the part number shows up in my UIF and the list of modules did appear in NCS as well AND my mirrors appear they can fold although I never coded them... but I'll be sure this week. Remember too, i have pre-wired navigation and the iDrive High controller straight from the factory. Just needed a CCC and a screen and a little coding.
