Hey guys,
I purchased the E90 08 OEM License plate LEDs from BMW and installed them together with Radio Shack resistors and there is no "ERROR" message on the IDrive. The resistor needs to be installed on the positive and negative side.
LEDs P/N- 63 26 7 193 293- 2 ea.
Resistors- 50 ohm, 10 watt, 10% tolerance (Cat No. 271-133) 1 ea.
Hope this helps. I will post pics tomorrow.
