It should not take that long. Make sure you set the charge to the correct battery type. BMW usually uses AGM batteries but check first. You can also set to repair mode if needed to fix any issues the battery might have. To do this when in standby, press & hold the Mode Button for approximately 3 Seconds. Thanks for watching and hope that helps.

@@vuedocars7774 yeah it took way too long this time around. First time it took less than 24 hours. Well, had someone come check out the car. Battery is dead. And yes, it was set to AGM

Yes it should be a direct fit. I think the one i had was an aftermarket one.

No, no error codes. The only negative to the grill is that you have to pay around with the mounting of the camera to make sure you didn't block any angles.

The pervious grill is oem from factory. The new one is an aftermarket one. Thanks for watching 😀.

@@vuedocars7774 ok.., it turns out that the OEM grille model in my country is different.., thank's bro 👍 

It took me about 3 hours. It was my first time for this vehicle. But I have done BMW and Audi.

Sorry for the late response. The issue is that I have an aftermarket apple car play device. This is a third-party device that uses the oem screen.

Seems that i had an aftermarket M-series wheel. OEM ones should be a direct fitment. All I did was transfer all the wiring and extras over.

Yes sir. N55 EWG

Lol. Sorry was still a noob at recording. New content should be better. Thanks for watching.

That's awesome. I've owned a n54 they do have good potential. The times may vary depending elevation. Thanks for watching.

Thanks.

Nope just the standard stage 2+ MHD flash. Nothing done to lower boost targets or torque. Car is an X-drive. Thanks for watching.

@@vuedocars7774I'm seeing extraves can plant like a second faster 0 to 60

Of course.

Yes if it's pre-wired you will still have to code it. This is so your car knows that you have paddles.

Yes they are the M-Series paddles found in the f80/F82 M3/M4 2014-2020, and F10 2011-2015 M5.

Nope no issues so far. Seen guys run tunes for over 50k + miles. Just have to keep up with the maintenance.

This is for a 2012-2019 f30 BMW 3 series. Looks like you are mentioning a 2003-2013 Audi A3 8P, correct? In that case not sure how the wiring works but did some diging and found these links for you. Sorry for the late reply. Hope it helps and thanks for watching. www.audiworld.com/forums/audi-a3-s3-rs-3-mkii-209/happy-report-successful-retrofitting-sport-paddle-2881798/#post24675386

@@vuedocars7774 yes dear 2003-2012 a3 8p let me look at this link , please wait, thank you Very much appreciate you

Sorry about that. I sped up that part of the video since I just transferred everything over to the original steering wheel. KZbin does have a feature to set the playback speed slower, I suggest 0.5x. I also posted the DYI retrofit document in the description. The paddle shifter wire should be the short wire for the left paddle and the long one for the right paddle. They should be plug and play as the connector to the paddle shifters are different from the steering wheel controls . Thanks 😊.

Hi, I bought the steering wheel with the paddle shifters from a local guy but when I tried to test fit it to my car it didn't fit the steering wheel column, it was too big. This is why I had to take the paddles off of it and modified my original steering wheel to properly install the paddle shifters.

@@vuedocars7774 oh right I see, so my non paddleshift steering wheel will be okay to fit paddle shifters too? Cheers for the reply

Yes that is correct you can still retrofit your paddle shifter to your existing steering wheel. You will need a diffrent back plate or you could cut the wholes required to fit.

@@vuedocars7774 oh right yeah cheers for the info mate

Maybe. You never know.

If it’s prewired do you still need to code it ? What happed if we don’t code it? I am changing the whole same steering wheel except the new one has a paddle shifters and my car is already prewired!!! Please help me here. Or anyone ? Thank you.

@@jeorude33 If I remember correctly, if you have the sport gearbox mode active (you have the "sport +" option in driving modes), you don't need to code anything. Otherwise, you will probably need coding. Connecting the steering wheel, even when the paddles are not coded, will not damage anything. Unfortunately, I do not remember if after connecting paddle shifters, which are not coded, there are any errors on the on-board computer or in the diagnostic computer only - there may be an error, but also possible that, there is no error ( it's all about comfort - no one likes to have errors on the dashboard). In any case, you can code the paddle shifters later, you don't have to do it right away, then all possible errors disappear.

Hi, that's a good assumption. If your front electrical module on the passenger foot well is prewired then it should be prewired on the steering column switch cluster. I listed it as a recommendation just so you know for sure before spending the money on the paddles. Page 5 of the link below has a wiring diagram of the paddle shifters. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=s3.amazonaws.com/fcp-pdf-files/DIY%2BPaddle%2BShifters%2BBMW%2BF30%2BRev.%2B3L.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiYxMfFsofuAhXDt1kKHTWQCtoQFjAXegQILRAB&usg=AOvVaw0f2hRNRRYrikKY2ol1bpfN

@@vuedocars7774 thank you! I ll check my car when i get the chance

I Bought the steering wheel off a local guy for $150 usd. The guy didnt know what car the steering wheel was for. So i got lucky you can say. They usually goes for 800-1000 new online.

@@vuedocars7774 you had so lucky jajajajajaja

I ended up leaving the jb4 in. I know some say it will interfere with the flash. But i'll probably do some testing comparing full flash vs bef.

Vuedo Cars let me know your findings. For now did you leave it in bef map 0?

Ok. Yes i left the jb4 in map 0.

Thanks 😊.

Car is 100% stock. But mods to come.

LOL
