Question for those bros who have changed their AT solenoids and/or valve body - did the ws need to drop the whole transmission or is it just a case of opening the AT sump cover and replacing the solenoids/valve body from below (like in pic that bro Aaron posted)? I'm asking because a sponsor's...

Thinking it is worthwhile to fit an oil catch can to my humble ride given the general oil leakiness of the N46. Does anyone have a recommendation of brand (Cusco, Simota, D1 spec ...) and installer? Any other advice/opinions would be appreciated.

Anybody tried installing those side mirror covers with LED turn indicators? If so did you tap power from the turn indicators on the side and do both sets of indicators work without error message?

For the pre-LCI e90, I understand that there are 2 brake light bulbs on each side. The owners' manual says that for normal braking only the outboard bulb on each side will light-up brightly, from what I have observed of other e90s that stopped in front of me, the inboard bulb seems to light-up...

Those using non-CA remote key with rechargeable batttery may have been told that if your battery goes kaput you would have to order a new remote at the cost of $450++. There is a cheaper alternative - cut open your remote and transfer the board and chip to a new casing which can be opened-up...

Is it my imagination or does anyone else feel that a/c blower strength on the E90 from level 1 to 3 is pretty weak, then from level 4 there appears to be a sudden jump in air flow intensity. I'm not referring so much to the temperature as to the sensation of air current movement. Just want to...

Does anyone have the same feeling as me that the position of the E90s handbrake is not very ergonomic? Firstly too close to the side - should be further out to the left, secondly too far behind.:shakehea:

Hi, Any bros know whether our pre-LCI E90s come with hill hold function - that is the feature which aids in moving off without slipping backwards when car is stopped on an upslope.
