Perhaps, will have a good look in a few weeks, I take it I have to put rear brakes into service mode, does this fully retract pistons.
It's strange back ones have been done but not front

Did you use bimmercode, interested but for £40 to close mirrors to expensive mod, other the the open roof upto a speed of 30km, what other options have people coded
Taken the strategic decision NOT to install an Android head unit in lieu of the current idrive screen…
Given the sexy and shiny ID4Motion digital cluster I felt an equally shiny Android screen would match it well.
So I bought a Hi-Fi Max 10.3” unit (as well as trying their 12” monster)..
However the reality is that I use CarPlay extensively and/or the CIC core functions such as the Nav..
CarPlay doesn’t need / benefit from any increases in resolution or screen size…so I’ve abandoned it..
I was forced to buy a CIC head unit when my original died…but I’ve now had that repaired.
I saw a CIC screen from a 2015 car on eBay and made a cheeky offer which was accepted.
So I’ve got two screens and two head units…
The 2015 screen had some blotches which contrary to thoughts were not stains but holes in the anti reflective top layer.
So bitten the bullet and tried to fix that issue…
I used silver polish initially then bought some premium specfic fine plastic polish.
Very pleased with the result.
Maybe you could use a further finer polish to get a more glossy finish but not sure that’s a benefit with roof down in sunlight..
I’ll confirm it works well when it’s fitted…probably next winter..
Food for thought

Normal bleed first then the DSC as per instructions. Nice pedal feel now!
Is that the ISTA dsc bleed procedure ?
It is but ran from my Launch unit. The instructions are much clearer.B21 said:Reamesy said:New two piece Zimmerman brake discs installed with HP2000 pads. Complete flush including DSC pump using Launch diagnostic and presure bleeder. Very satisfying.
