I’m not a professional installer and I’m not going to be held liable for anything that may go wrong with the install. I’m simply stating the instruction I followed when installing my CCFL Angel Eyes. Anything you do wrong is your own fault. I’ve never done anything like that before, but still was able to accomplish this on my own. So do this at your own risk! Some of these steps might sound just like the ones that are listed in the sources I’ve used, which are very helpful BTW.
Just did the belts on my ’03 330xi (manual, auto may be a bit different) this weekend and figured I’d post a DIY for this very simple task that may seem like a bigger deal that it really is. Dealers charge way too much for this!
First of all, you are responsible for what you do to your car, not me. These are simply the steps I used to perform the task. (Note that for this DIY “left” and “right” are as you are standing in front of the car looking at the engine). Now that that is over with…
These are the two belts being replaced, the smaller is the AC belt and the larger is the alternator/serpentine belt. I bought the pair for about $20.

Upon examining the door locking mechanism I noticed and adjustment bolt that over time loosens. When this happens the door becomes increasingly harder to open. Below is how to fix the problem. Tools needed: Just a 5/32 allen wrench.
Take the plastic cap located in the below picture off to expose the adjustment bolt.

After speaking with a tech at the dealership. They confirm that this will only work with vehicles ARE programed to flash. It usually cost about $60 to have them do it.

Everyone wants a short shifter for their manual transmission right? but not everyone wants to spend 300 bucks on an aftermarket shifter kit.
Well there is a way to stay BMW Genuine and still enjoy short, smooth and precise shifting.
-The answer is to get a E60 545i shifter.
*there are other OEM shifters that will yield same results, but I can only vouch for the 545i shifter as I did it on my car and it works great.
What you need:
1. NuShield DayVue or other anti-glare screen protector
2. A few toothpicks
3. Small precision screw driver (I used the smallest in my kit – 1.4 mm)
4. Magic Scotch tape
5. Rewards card from your favorite shoe store (or random credit card)
6. Paper napkins or thin towel (not in picture)
7. Cup of water (not in picture)
