I just took over a 320i which has the same M Performance Trim installed, and not surprisingly, has the same issue of the bright burst of light in the middle and everything to the left of it being dimmer.
If i understand correctly, you managed to code it to work? Would you mind sharing a little more of what you actually coded to see if i can try that as a fix? Thanks so much! Really appreciate it as i'm going crazy here..

Cheers!

The Service Manager told the tech to leave everything the same because he knew I turn it off and so much more. I Love the carbon fiber. I wish it was like the older set though. Where the M Performance was sewn into the dash. I think the metal plate looks cheap. The center console looks really great. They actually called it "initialized". Not sure the difference. My Service Manager said it was because of my build date, 05/21. Even on realoem.com it says it needs to be coded when you look up the part number. Crazy and I seriously thought it was plug and play. That much money it should be. My Service Manager and Senior Tech did it for free. Thankful I am tight with him. Now if I could only get around being flagged if I tune it. Hope I posted the right pictures. I have a bunch. I could hook the one that came with it snd it would light up. Hook up the carbon fiber and nothing. I actually thought it was broken at first or I did something wrong. Thanks to Xsapper and everyone on this post it was easy to hook up. Thank you everyone again. Sorry for such a late reply. I don't get notifications from Bimmerpost for some reason.
Hi xsiv24,

I am not sure what was coded. I had to take it to my local Dealer and they coded it for me. It totally did not make sense to me. Most people it is just plug and play and no problems. I am friends with my Service Manager and he took care of it in less than 20 mins. If you have a Dealer close I would ask them. It has a 2 year warranty if you bought it from an authorized BMW Dealer/Retailer. I actually bought mine from the Netherlands because it was a few hundred US dollars cheaper. I think the price went up now. I wish I had more info for you.
