Might do it on my '16 pre-LCI F32.

Can't beat OEM, fits like a dream and no issues with moisture :-)

Hi Guys,

This is my first post here and I would like to introduce myself. I actually make these decals and am happy to answer your questions.

Here is a picture of the symbols installed on an earlier BMW.

Thanks,

Mo Faraz

Not sure if we are takling about the same thing. This picture seems to come from an E30. It's not quite the same in a F3x

That is correct but it is the same decal kit. Both front and rear graphics are there in exact BMW style -- size may not be exact but it is scaled to fit the interior and original to older models.

If anyone has more questions just ask.

Just ordered 2 pairs of these. Not sure if I can get all rear decals only (no need for front) but either way happy to try these out. Blank rear button after mod bothers my OCD.

It's been awhile but I think my euro-spec control module was like $50 shipped.

Just so I could have my rear fog light button lit up.

I modified the oem switch and used a sticker for about a week and said screw it and ordered the euro switch. lol

you can't just swap the buttons. the light is on the board itself.

I guess you can but it'll take more time to swap pieces. it's just a simple plug and play this way.

Nice job. The price you mentioned was for a used part? New it's 3 times the price :-)

Silverlining_m2 · 01-10-2021, 03:15 PM

I took my spoiler off. Turns out unless it's the low slung m performance style, I'm just not a fan on the f32. Made it look like a 2000 mustang to me.

The natural leaned back 4 series flow feels thrown off by even a medium kick spoiler.

Top pic is with, and bottom without obviously.

This feels much better

Yeah, it was from a junkyard.

other than removing the rear fog button, did you need to solder LED light to your US spec headlight switch?

learntocode · 01-10-2021, 07:11 PM

Replaced shifter face plate (aftermarket). Not 100% fitment to OEM face plate, but close enough, I would say about 99% for the aftermarket fitment. Quality isn't too bad.

Where did you find that part? Easy to install?

It's a shame since you can get them OEM and then they really fit:
