Update: it wasnt fried. I reflashed it to the m3 dsc flash again and it worked fine,just like before. I connected the dtc button to ground and no lights come up on the dash. I check the continuity and its fine. Does the m3 have a different light than the standard 335 kombi? If thats true, how would I check to see if dtc is on or not?
M3 DSC is either on or completely off via button press you’ll be able to tell the difference pretty quickly particularly in wet or slippery conditions. I’m not 100% on whether the dash indicator will work or not

You mean coding in the CIC ?
there’s a number of ways to get the menus to appear I recall

Default coded as M3, I have Drive Logic, DSC, Power, Servtronic, Shiftlights. Did you change the VO and code CIC or are you trying to add to a non-M coding?

off topic: does anyone have a m3 cluster with km/h and C faces or sports szl with rain sensor + bottom steering column trim piece they want to sell?

I have an m3 KOMBI but has MPH face....
The faces have to come off when you virginise the KOMBI BTW
i dont mind taking the faces off and i have a r270 already...

Interesting idea. Does someone retrofit Fxx gws to Exx?

I didn’t think it would be possible but now that you mention it....

It depends because many of the F series used KCan 2 and when I plugged a new idrive knob on my car all my modules crashed until a restart lol

I’d have to check my wds but do gws’ use KCan?

A lot of work by others has unearthed all of the messaging that occurs in an M car. Replicating it in a non M is still the issue as the DME plays a significant part. The closest we can get is the IKMOS rom and coding as well as an arduino based CAN shield but still haven’t quite cracked it yet.

Right, I've been running the IKM0S for a couple years now. That damn M3 DME runs all the the good stuff along with the shift light in the DCT cluster.
