A 306D1 version of the M57 is the first generation M57 30D unit with 186bhp rather than the later 204/211bhp variant. There may be differences with the bell housing as that version was used with a 5 speed gearbox.
You’d need the ECU from it as well.

BMW X1 E84 2011 - Footwell Control Module Light & Parking Sensor Warning
My 2011 X6 has it all on board. Not sure when they actually switched over. Mine is iDrive 3 (CIC). ISTR that not all dealers used the electronic version immediately. Yours I think is the same version. It wouldn’t surprise me if different ‘level’ cars had different functionality because of how BMW do...

BMW X1 E84 2011 - Footwell Control Module Light & Parking Sensor Warning
As above, in BMWs only the passenger mirror ‘drops’ with reverse, and only with the mirror adjustment switch selected to the drivers side. The iDrive should tell you which service is due - it’s usually under ‘Vehicle Information’. The service records are held electronically on the car rather than st...

Owning an EV for 12 months
I use Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go as my tariff. They use green energy (so they say) rather than power station derived energy. Their ‘normal’ tariff is the Ofgen capped rate (£0.2525p/kWh). The daytime rate is £0.2376p/kWh and runs from 05:30 to 23:30. Their off peak (23:30 to 05:30) rate...

Owning an EV for 12 months
I’ve now been the proud owner of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) rather than a hybrid of any kind and thought I’d share so,e thoughts together with the costs. As some may know, I bought a BMW i4 M50 a year ago after waiting 14 months from order to delivery. The i4 is based on the current G26 4-Seri...

Doesn’t look too tricky. 4 wires only if I’m reading it right.

Seething and downright angry
That’ll teach them. Someone on the i4 forum tried to replace their shifter (looked the same as the E71 until March ‘23) with the newer version like this in mine: IMG_1438.jpeg and bricked the car. It was only a couple of plugs that needed moving as the shift switch works the same, but there’s a very...

There are kits available - I’m pretty sure this Osram kit is very likely what BMW rebadged.

BMW did at one point offer a kit for non-DRL equipped cars. There wasn’t one for the E70/71 as those came with DRLs from the factory, albeit not LED. The slim, horizontal lamps went into the plastic trim close to the front fogs. I can’t find them listed on REALOEM meaning they were withdrawn before ...

Ouch……one of those I wish I’d never started jobs.
For those unaware, Cotswolds offer discounted parts to Forum members. Assuming it still works ‘cotswoldbmwmini’ is their ident on here. If you send them a PM with details and your VIN they’ll come back to you.
