Nice setup. I am also interested in the camera. Several questions:

* I don't see it on the exterior pics at all. Could you take a picture of it?

* What about the iDrive integration. Is the software there, but not enabled for us, since we don't have cameras by default?

* What problem(s) did you have with the install?

Thanks!

P.S.: The door sills are a really nice touch. I always thought they should have done that at the factory, along with making the ///M logo on the speedo backlit . . .

Cool back-up camera mod, nice touch. Congrats on the car! Put some Performance CF Splitters, Mirror Caps, and black out the wheels! Maybe some spacers 15/12 if you don't want too aggressive.

The camera is where the drivers side license plate light is (The kit combines the light and the camera in the space of the stock light). There is a media module that you have to install behind the dash that send the signal to the display when the car is in reverse. No software. If you look at the product on Alekshop's website you'll see all the parts (camera, module, wires).

My problem was I bought a used camera set, and the media module wouldn't work, so I had to buy a new one.

Quick update on the stable.
The E92 M3 has a couple of his brothers at the house this week.
The E36 M3 was at the house in preparation for a track day yesterday, and then the wife switched up the M5 for the big box sided original, so we ended up with 3 M3's at the house yesterday for the 1st time. Thought that was worth a quick picture or two.

I know the roundels aren't to everyone's taste, but we got the set for the E36 M3 on the road trip to Ofest where the wife and I got engaged, so the wife and I like them on our cars, and they are staying on all the cars.

Well after 3 years, I figured it was time to a little update. Installed a set of 355mm StopTech brakes on the car this weekend with some friends. Also installed LUX H8 angel eye bulbs a few months ago. Not much else has changed about the car, except a few more miles from daily use. Also a few pictures from COTA at the BMWCCA Texas Trifecta back on Father's Day weekend.

I thought some n00b had bumped this back from the dead... But good on you OP for still holding on to it and driving it!

Where did you get the illuminated sills from? I don't think BMW ever offered those.

Nope figured I keep all my pictures together along the car journal line, so I bumped my old post.

Like most of my changes, sills were not a factory options. I got the sills from GrafxWerks, but it looks like they don't offer the sills any more based on their revamped website. If really interested, might want to e-mail them. They were still working on my old M5 after 10 years when we sold it, so good product.
