Added LED tail lights I am slowly trying to add a few black accents to my arctic silver pcar. I really like the look of these, let's hope they last.....Next accent will be black exhaust tips.

To recap though - both the side markers as signals and DRL coding are in the 'Front' module. DRL just switch it to 'non mandatory', and the side marker there are only two options, I can't recall the precise wording, but if you don't have it now, just change it to the other one. Cake. I was done in 10 minutes.

Had a client meeting that lasted for about 1.5 hours this afternoon - and I was facing out the window, looking right at my car parked outside. Was able to closely examine my OE wheel offset at my leisure...

Default Did a couple of things

I swapped my steering wheel for a PDK paddle shifter.
Removed half of rear seat and cut rear parcel shelf carpet to get access to the child seat anchor.

Everything took about 1.5 hours. Did it after putting kids to bed.

Hardest part was getting to that damn anchor.

3Series - I did the same project last night. I hated the old button wheel. Paddles are the way to go, and the wheel seems thicker too. Here's my photo.

No. You'll need a new airbag and maybe a clockspring adapter. It's been done before and the paddles will work if you have a tiptronic. Call Suncoast they may have the parts that you need.

If you have a manual, they sell the same wheel without paddles if you like the design.

Yes indeed. I only did a quick drive last night but it makes shifting so much better. It also really makes you appreciate how fast the PDK makes gear changes.

My wife's MDX has paddle shifters and they are slow when changing gears on the automatic.
