Interior LEDS

Damm, the interior bulbs in the of the M3 are nothing like the bulbs of the 335. A completely different setup. Where did you guys get your interior LED's from?

I'll never buy another Bimmian product as long as I live. It's a long story.

I can't figure out why they are so hard to make? On another note. Has anyone seen a DIY for installing the bulbs. The overhead lighting in the M3 is nothing like the 335.

I don't want to break anything.

Just pull on it, it comes out with a little muscle!

Sweet. I'm going to try it. I have some old bimmian LEDS sitting in my garage. I might as well try them. They didn't work on my 335. When I turned on my 335, they wouldn't turn on. You have no idea how frustrating that is. Maybe I'll have more luck in the M3.

I had the same problem, I had it fixed!
Its weird, in some cars they work, and in some they don't
Let me guess...the lights worked when you unlocked the car and opened the door, but when you turned the ignition to ON, they would turn off after about 10-20 seconds? correct?
