At that point you can disable the bulb checks for the city lights (KALTUEBERWACHUNG_SL_L/R WARMUEBERWACHUNG_SL_L/R CC_STANDLICHT_LINKS/RECHTS). For sedans, there are a few ways to do it.Įasiest is to change the VO (*EV53 -> *EV51) and recode the LSZ module. Re Rear fogs: For coupes, no coding is necessary. If you're not trying to do anything fancy, the easiest way would be to read the FA from your KMB, do the FA_WRITE job on the ALSZ, and then do SG_CODIEREN with a blank FSW_PSW. The main difference is that the European halogen ones do have the stepper motor controller installed which allows the leveling motors to work (but the halogen ones do not have the required circuitry to read the data from the leveling sensors, so they're still no good for autoleveling). However, it is possible that it's missing circuitry for some lights.Įlectrically they're more or less identical between US and Europe. Another option would be to grab the LCM from an 06 or newer Z4, and transplant the circuit board to the E46. I don't believe the 4.5 supports any features that aren't present on the 4.0. 4.5s were only available after the end of the E46 production run. And if you want the autoleveling to work on a prefacelift coupe or any sedan, it has to be from an M3 (the facelift coupes do the autolevling differently). September 2005 and newer should all have 4.0s (so that really only leaves 06 coupes and verts).

The 4.0s do exit in Europe, I did have one (but it was from a halogen car). I've been checking eBay UK and DE periodically for one with a faceplate that has auto headlights, the ambient light sensor, and rear fogs but haven't found one yet for a reasonable price. In the US they can only be found on MODEL YEAR 2006 cars, not certain what build dates that corresponds too. I'm not sure if he ever determined if there are SW 4.0 units in Europe.

He never found the perfect Euro unit and ended up buying two, a software 4.0 unit from the states and a euro one with rear fogs from the UK, then transplanting the faceplate.
