118D F21 - A no budget love
Well, after going back and forth on the internet searching for things to add up to my car, I figured I should start a thread, mostly because I have plenty of questions to ask, but also because I really need to get hands on and finally do the things I've ever wanted.
So, bought it back in february with 60k kms (roughly 40k mls, I think) and since then I have put another 15k (10k mls). It's my actual first car, but as the title says, I have no income since I'm a student and can only spend the money I get from presents, etc... (and I can't ask for money since the car is a great gift on it's own). Here goes some of the main extras (that for some reason I had to have): M Package CIC nav Heated seats --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Realistic plans for mods (this is going to be a long one): DIY alcantara trims - (my trims look like they have been hit with a pickaxe) Replica performance pedals Front black grills - either m perf replica or "M3" style DIY //M floor mats Trunk Light retrofit - I NEED HELP ON THIS!! Double tip exhaust Change the plate holder in the back Rear spoiler Put vinyl around the AC controler to look like a LCI Cruise control Light and rain sensor And a looot more miscelaneous stuff, because I spend a lot of time looking for cool items and good deals ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealistic mods (meaning, I'll never get around to it or are to expensive at the moment) NBT retrofit Facelift steering wheel (probably wrap it in alcantara along with the shifter) Performance taillights Bigger brakes Second set of wheels Lumbar support (while I'm at it, just swap the interior) Rear diffuser Back-up camera and front PDC LCI or F22 front conversion ... Basically if I could, I'd dump a lot of money into it: not because I don't love it. I love it, that is why I'd rather wait and do most of these mods, rather than sell the car in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's some pictures. Sorry for the long post Before you ask, that's a black decal on the BMW badges. |

118D F21 - A no budget love - TRUNK LIGHT HELP
I have had this doubt for a long time now. I don't use my trunk much, but when I use it, I miss having a light.
Can anyone tell me if I just need to buy one of those led modules? Is there a cable pre-wired? (Picture for example) Thank you in advance |

There's always light at the end (on the left side actually) of the trunk, I believe. Even if yours does not work how can you skip noticing it's there?
You can check it (that is, if your car is supposed to have one) here with your VIN: Electronic parts catalogue from BMW. The light part number (split in two as they require there) is 6331 2348803. Or you can see it here just as well: 1' F21 118d BMW LED luggage compartment lamp. |
