That sounds like my worst nightmare. Did Vic have any intel on Euro's with this new software?

Had dealer recode car to factory. Everything worked. Even lights but had bunch of errors. So finally got firm with Vic this morning and he coded lights. And told me the cars DME had been remapped and some other firmware. Then I went to work and found my head unit no longer was communicating but my tail light errors were gone. He thinks it’s the new bmw SW not behaving with coding needed for tail lifhts. Mine just happen to be US spec. Not sure if coding is similar for euro.

I did the install on the tail lights and for some reason the power tailgate won’t automatically close now it’s like something is blocking it. Nothing is in the way it only works if I push on it to close. Anyone ever have any issues like that?

Does it open from the button on the drivers door or the kick to open?

Check the drip trays. Sounds like it’s binding up where the tubes run between the plastic into the trunk body.

Do not order from EUROPOWER. I placed an order 3/21 when website said “in stock”. No shipping update received after 2 weeks so I called and was assured it would ship soon. Another week and another call and same story. Then another week and another call with the same story. That was the 3rd strike in my book, called my CC company and did a chargeback. |

I got in early with him shortly after this thread was created. I did end up getting the real deal, but the process of ordering from him and waiting was not without some agita.

Couple questions: 1) what years is your M5 2) just to confirm those tail lights look exactly like OEM, and have the same SKU and part number as BMW OEMs ?? 3) and also where did you get your diffuser? Is it compatible with a 2020 M5 Thanks DoubleAA |

All diffusers are interchangeable.
