I have a 2005 pre lci 535d M Sport with a remap already installed. It's running at about 330bhp with huge torque figures but I'd like to know whether this little mod would further benefit me or be a step backwards.
I know somebody else asked this question a while ago but I never saw a response. I would like to do this if it makes a difference but don't want to slow the old girl down.
Any response would be hugely appreciated

While I can't answer your question directly, I can say all you have to lose is a few dollars on a cheap switch and about 45 minutes to an hour of your time. If it doesn't do anything, you can always undo it, or never use the switch. If I were you, I'd take a leap of faith and give it a try.

I would bet yes, and I would do it if I were you. As far as how to do it, go back to pages 5-11 or so. Basically you just take off your trim, expose your seat heater console, and plug a couple of wires in, and tie them into a switch. One hour tops.

I ordered this for the pin. However, I'm not sure if it's the right part. I'll find out this weekend.

Balbs,

Was this the right part number for the pins behind center console. Want to get this mod done and make sure I have everything before I start the job. Thanks for any updates on this.

I can't say for sure because the part hasn't come yet.

Thanks! ordering parts tomorrow. I decided to go with $19 round momentary button with red light. This will match the aluminum trim on door handles and shifter. Decided against spending over $200 for the new BMW shift bezel and sport button. Waste of money for this mod. I plan on keeping my car for a very long time anyway.
