    I bought a 2016 BMW M4 F82 which had been in a serious accident, causing some pretty bad damage. Ive bought a BMW M3 front end which supposedly is the same as M4 but later found there was a few differences. It seems the newer the cars the more complicated it becomes to rebuild them. I decide to tackle the full dashboard in this video!

      tbh this is a normal process for BMW, Mercedes and Audi cars from 2015 and on, Mercedes even from 2006 and on. Still, noone knows everything so yea, props to whoever told him :)

      I’m sure the DSG oil change process is pretty similar when it comes to temperature and running through the gears only thing is it’s simpler to fill with most filters and caps under the battery’s.

    How you thought to change the headlight switch to fix the problem, I don't know 🤯 I would be ripped the dash out again to see if I hadn't plugged anything in. Fair play! Saved yourself alot of time. Wish I had your energy and enthusiasm 😂

    • @chrisblackburn715

    • @Dstructeur1
      @Dstructeur1 Рік тому +1

      On most common cars, the lights, wipers and even some power window functions (auto closing at rain by ex) are set up by the same ecu, so it narrows the diagnostic field, then you just have to think what part have you changed that’s on the electronic scheme of the faulty system!
      Also is the reason auto closing windows might have let you down on a rainy day once, with no apparent reasons. Needs the light switch on auto for it to work on most cars. Which doesn’t make sense but it’s on the same module
      And worse case scenario, if you know nothing about this, just try and error from the easiest to the hardest, don’t forget to light up a candle for hopes to find with the firsts easy tricks lol 😂

    For the airbag light it needs to be plugged into ISTA (bmw software) for all errors to be removed from the car and the airbags reset.
