I've been doing some research on the F15 BS retrofit, plenty of people seem to be doing this outside the US but not many detailing it here in the states. I did find the following for the f30:

From a few messages I've got from coders the FEM is identical on the F15 but I can't seem to get wiring diagrams as of yet. Also unclear if I'd have to run wires from the FEM to mirrors to control the LEDS, maybe the harness has the signal wires & the new mirrors would have the connection/pins?

The work here seems doable to be honest, would be interesting to tackle ACC as well - but that appears to be more involved with the DSC module replacement.

Anyone with experience here on the F15?

thx

As for connections and doing the actual work, I am quite useless. You will need input from one of the handy members. That said, as far as I can tell no one has ever done what you have embarked upon.

I advise you learn the coding as well. You may have to re code after every firmware (not iDrive firmware) for the car.

My biggest complaint with the system is that the amber LED triangle is too dim especially with sun behind you. If you have access, and figure out a way to replace the LED chip that would be good info.
