My Ride: 03 BMW E60 520i - Steptronic - Black Sapphire - Style 116 wheels (Pirelli PZero Rosso) - PDC - Beige Dakota Leather - Dark Poplar Wood
Thats good. In my case xenon fog lights interfered with PDC and when fog lights where switched on PDC always shown that there are objects very close to the car (is always in the red zone)

I spoke to Erick from Elite Motorsport and he told me to disconnect left fog and see if the right one is still flickering, and it is it stays on all the time but still flickers. I have no problems with PDC at all after installation

You'll have to come to our meet on Sunday now. That's the price you pay for advice on this site.

I just installed my SUpernova kit on Saturday, I have the same problem with the lights flickering. Did you change the fuse in your trunk? You were suppose to change fuse number 81 from a 7.5 to an 25 or 30 amp fuse. Thats the fuse number for an 06 E60. I think for the 05 it might be a differnent number. in my case, i believe the balast is faulty and am going to have to request a new balast.
