I have had almost no time this week, so many things going on. But I still snuck out into the garage for a few hours here and there.
Clean black carpet going in. Amazing how much better it looks - even without the dash
Dash support bar back in.
Replacing the center console buttons with one from an M3. This gets me the TPMS and Sport button.
For those wondering about wiring, there is a great DIY on zhpmafia about wiring in the TPMS. It's a single wire (pin 2 of the control buttons) into the MK60 ABS pump and then some coding. Easy peasy. The sport button has two pins (17 and 18), one is the switch that goes into the DME in an input, and the other is just a low-side ground that lights up the sport LED. Since the stock BMW DME is getting the boot, the sport button is going to be wired into a Canchecked MCE18 input/output canbus expansion module and then will talk over canbus to the Maxxecu - since my Maxxecu race inputs and outputs are at a premium. I'll have the sport button configured to turn the car to max effort (full boost, exhaust cutout open, transmission in drivemode 5 etc) with a single click - "M" mode? haha
A few other goodies I wired in as well were the e39 windshield washer button, which will flip through a preset list of boost/power settings. And the most exciting button, the MDM ZCP steering wheel button, is now launch control (if stopped) and the rolling anti-lag (if moving).
