Needing a new FEM? Help

Hope I’m posting in the right place, if not plz let me know.

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's day is great and your car is well maintained.

My car is needing a new FEM. I have a 2013 3201 X-Drive.
What do I need to look for or make sure of when buying one?

I was attempting to install an M-Sport wheel with paddle shifters.
Followed the Kies video and messed something up.
Turn signals don't work, no high beams, no horn, and my windshield wipers WONT turn off. Etc I think that's mainly it.

The shop I took it to says it needs a new FEM.

I appreciate your help.

That’s what they told me. They said they were not even able to Code it. I don’t have an Enet cable but I can get one

Did you change the stalks as part of the upgrade? That is what I was asking - not clear question-sorry.

Even paddels has to be coded-it is not just a HW upgrade.

You should also have a read out of error codes made with ISTA

Hi,

After reading your post, I saw something.

“ Followed the Kies video and messed something up.”

What did you exactly messed up?

Did you try coding with Bimmerpost/ Carly?

So in the Kies Video to do the M'Sport wheel w/ paddles, you have to run a wire from the FEM to SZL.
From the FEM A1737B (pass side foot area) i had to add a wire in pin #5.
From there it goes to the driver side into the SZL pin #3 A832B.

Sorry for the late reply, been working. I appreciate your input.
