Before the text, thank you for helping with the modification, which is highly recommended to you by the local or surrounding cities of Shanghai.
The technology is in place, and the work is very serious. The most impressive thing is to remove the door panel, the wire harness is exactly the same as the original factory, and in order to prevent abnormal noise, all the wire harness velvet tape is wrapped in flannelette tape, and then the wire harness is firmly fastened to the door plate to prevent sloshing with acrylic tape.
Serious and responsible, this kind of attitude is very rare, even if it is only refitting a few hundred unprofitable things for the first time, I will give you a serious and responsible job.
He removed the door panel countless times, took the initiative to show it to me, and helped me replace the original factory door clasp, thank you very much!
Don’t say the name of their store here to avoid advertising disdain!

Arrived at the store, there is a car programming, waiting for 5 minutes.. This guy is busy. I made an appointment with him 2 days in advance.

Yes, he is the one who is better than the scissors hand. just call him Ah Wei.
The one who is removing the door panel is also the god, the 6-year-old driver of the BMW 4S store.

The first item: the new knob, the knob on F18 is really not pretty, the new knob is more exquisite,

The replacement chrome-plated buttons are already ready.

The Menu key in the middle has not been changed.

Take a picture of the details and get ready to get on the bus.

Comparison with the original factory

The original factory also replaced the chrome-plated buttons, and the quality of the buttons was so poor that the letters were lost in less than a month, and the problem of changing the new keys for free is still the same.
The replacement button of the new knob is obviously much better, and there is a layer of varnish on the surface so that the letters will not fall off.

After boarding, the handbrake button is pasted and there is no replacement button. The silver at the bottom of the file is affixed with a sticker.

A close-up, the new knob feels good, mainly because it looks a lot better.

The second item: the chrome-plated window button, the original car parts above the 7-series of G12

This is relatively simple, remove the door panel, remove the window button, open the original car button plastic shell can be adjusted

Pay attention to the two buttons of the electric folding ear and reversing. This chrome-plated button needs to be polished on the F18 because the shape is different.

I don’t think it looks good. I took it apart again, and the electric folding ear and the flip button still used the original car (because I had bought the chrome patch for the window button before).
Considering that the electric folding ear and the flip button itself do not emit light, so simply use the original car, put on the chrome paste, there seems to be no sense of violation, which is more like the original position of the original car. If you polish it, if you take a closer look at it, it’s still a little flawed. I’m a little obsessive-compulsive. Haha, see you guys laughing.

The copilot and other door panels are replaced directly, without the need for polishing and trimming, the original position.

Of course, there will be a thong, the M6 color line steering wheel sent directly from Europe by the original factory.
17-year-old Class 3 airbags (most of the thong plates in China are Class 1 airbags, but in Europe, the regulations are relatively strict, requiring at least Class 2 airbags)
Popular science: level 1 airbag is to eject and end when collision, and level 2 airbag is to eject, protect and eject again (because the person has an inertia to bounce back during the collision, level 2 inflatable pop-up is to prevent people from getting hurt when they bounce back)
Class 3 airbag is the highest specification, that is, eject, protect, and quickly eject twice again.
How do you think it is an airbag? Look at the plug, one is level 1, two is level 2, and three is level 3 airbag.

In fact, it doesn’t make much sense and can be used normally. I also “do as the Romans do”, a plate from Europe.

Wet carbon fiber cover plate of the original factory

BMW’s thong plates are all separated in the accessories library, there are no complete plates, they are all assembled. Including screws, is also a separate package.

The original NAPPA leather feels very good and thick.

Get on the bus in a minute.

I changed the original car plate (I also changed the original car plate, but I still think the thong feels good. In terms of appearance, the original car plate I changed is more luxurious, and the thong is more fighting.

Give me a few details.

The original carbon fiber cover plate, the primary color of metal chromium plating, is by no means comparable to the kind of post-spray paint in China.

Blade pick programming can be used by directly adjusting an option, no need for flying line

The thong was changed in their house before.

Continue to dismantle and prepare to replace today’s key items.

Baohua diamond tweeter on the new 5-series and 7-series
It’s a hood, without loudspeakers. My original car is a full set of Harman from the original factory. I would never change this hood if it had its own horn.

The speed is too fast, go to the toilet to smoke a cigarette, installed, non-destructive installation
This was taken downstairs when I got home.
It’s really beautiful.
The glow of this cover, if you want to change color, etc., you must install the deputy factory’s 8-color atmosphere lamp, even I also changed the 8-color atmosphere lamp in him.
It can realize 8-color transformation, monochromatic mode and breathing mode.
This was taken when I adjusted the brightness of the atmosphere lamp to the brightest.

Take a closer look at what I said behind this interested friend, and mainly mention this 8-color atmosphere lamp!

I can’t wait for the goods to be loaded. Close the door and experience the lighting effect first.

This was taken before the installation of the luminous tweeter.
Friends who have installed 8-color ambient lights in the vice factory should all know the problem of brightness, it is too bright. no, no, no. Even if it is adjusted to the lowest, it is still very bright.
So Wei gave me a solution.
It is not to adjust the resistance, but to adjust the position of the lamp strip.

In the picture, I adjust the maximum brightness, if you do not adjust the position of the light strip, you adjust to the brightest, the car is almost as bright as turning on the light! Then it’s not an atmosphere lamp, it’s KTV.

After adjusting the position of the lamp strip, Ah Wei is perfect. I can adjust the atmosphere lamp to the brightest, and it is not dazzling at all! The lights are soft!

Just take a look at this picture. Friends who have installed 8-color ambient lights can try to maximize the brightness to see what it looks like here. Almost the same as the headlights in the room, full of auto parts city style, atmosphere lights should be like this, bright but short light source, not dazzling!

Blue mode

Taken in the underground garage.

Pink

The pink Baohua diamonds are so beautiful.

The back row may be related to the shape of mahogany pieces. The lamp strip has been tried countless times, and this is the only way to ensure that the light is not so bright.
The light at the front is a little longer than the light behind, but now there is a solution. Post it next time, because the order hasn’t arrived yet.

Really beautiful, originally wanted to change the BO center, but that thing horn is welded inside, there is no way to keep the original car horn, has been hesitating.
Unless you change the original BO, you really don’t want to replace the original Harman.
