e92 ambiance lighting trim

Paul330d · 02-08-2007, 05:31 AM

A bit pointless, I admit, but I think it looks superb and I want it desperately on my e90. Does anyone know if it can be retro fitted?

Where is the light source?

Paul330d · 02-08-2007, 10:53 AM

From what I understand, its a thin tube running along the top of the leather part of the door panel, inserted just below the alu trim in the photo.

txusa03 · 02-08-2007, 11:11 AM

If possible, you are ok with only the front doors having them on your e90?

KL2DC · 02-08-2007, 11:22 AM

Paul,

I think its entirely possible, just not sure how well integrated it'd be. We wouldn't want to mess up your gorgeous interior now would we?

Besides, why stop at the door panels.....

+1 !!!! LOL!!!!!!!

Paul330d · 02-08-2007, 01:26 PM

Lol, don't worry, you know I like my mods to be discreeeeet

Front doors only would be fine with me.

bmwexecutive · 02-08-2007, 01:49 PM

Paul, I just realized from your signature that your 330dA (what does the A stand for by the way) puts out 455lb/ft, wow! Do you know how much the 335d puts out by any chance.

'A' as in a$$ as in Paul's diesel monster hauls crazy a$$ ...

Seriously, 'A' denote automatic transmission.

Correct. The manual gearbox can't take all that torque. The 335d puts out 'only' 580Nm stock, but this can be tuned to around 700 (approx. 510 lb/ft)

My ambition is to one day own a car that produces 1000Nm

nmulax · 02-08-2007, 02:14 PM

Paul, doubt you'll be able to retrofit the E92 lighting.
The doors are different lengths, so unless you were to cut the light-rod (which may cause it to no longer work) it's probably not possible.

That sir just might be the M3d.

Jay_328 · 02-08-2007, 02:32 PM

I purchased the super -cool ambiant trim and got the e92 for no charge!

justinnum1 · 02-08-2007, 03:04 PM

Sorry to go off topic but i see that Paul has a sliding front armrest mod. Can you explain to me what this is and where can i get it?

Smythe · 02-08-2007, 03:12 PM

You could try this stuff:

You can change the brightness with their driver...

Its not really a mod, its a euro part retrofit (option 4AE).

Have a look at the DIY:

A quick

might nett you the appropriate part number for your car

Deveray · 02-08-2007, 08:35 PM

The E92 has longer doors doesn't it? So even if you get the parts they could be too long for the E90

Paul330d · 02-09-2007, 03:07 AM

Good point about the length of the e92's doors - hadn't thought of that. Doh! I also agree that it could easily look tacky if not done to a very high standard (of which I am probably not capable!).

Re. the armrest - you can order it as an accessory from your dealer and fit it yourself. It's very simple and is nicer for tall drivers (I'm 6'2"), because it actually slides forward enough to be of use, i.e. you can put your elbow on it. It is quite expensive, however (see parts here).

Part Nbr. 63319122420 - LED DOOR/SIDE PANEL LIGHTING (#3)

But you´ll need some sort of trim to cover the led tube
