Footwell Module Extended Warranty
Hi all -- I received a letter from BMW today which extended the warranty for the footwell module to 10 years/ 156k miles. What does this footwell module do, and how do I know if I have a problem? thanks!

The footwell module (FRM) is an electrical nodal point in the footwell on the drivers side. The footwell module picks up the signals from the doors and controls the lighting. The footwell module also controls the adaptive headlights. The footwell module is also the interface to the dashboard.
The following components deliver signals for the footwell module: Height sensors Reversing light switch Brake light switch Hazard warning flasher switch Light switch Driver’s door switch block Door contacts in front doors Driver’s door lock A number of control units are involved in the lighting system. In a stricter sense, the following control units are involved in the lighting (in alphabetical order): ACSM or MRS: Crash safety module / multiple restraint system E81, E82, E87, E89, E90, E91, E92: multiple restraint system E70, E71, E93: ACSM stands for ”Advanced Crash Safety Module”, also known as the Crash Safety Module The footwell module is connected to the crash safety module / MRS control unit via the K-CAN. In the event of an accident with corresponding severity, the footwell module switches on the interior light and the hazard warning lights automatically. E92 The crash safety module sends a message regarding the front passenger seat occupation detection on the K- CAN. The belt handover on the passengers side is only activated when the front passenger seat is occupied. AHM: Trailer module The trailer module delivers the signal indicating whether a trailer is attached to the vehicle. The trailer module also controls the trailer lighting. During trailer towing, the trailer module automatically disables e.g. the rear Park Distance Control (PDC) and the rear fog lamp on the vehicle. If a trailer is detected, the automatic parking function is disabled. Automatic parking function: To improve the view of the kerb, the outside mirror glass is folded downwards when reverse gear is engaged. This brings the lower area immediately around the vehicle, i.e. the kerb, into the field of vision. The trailer module (AHM) is connected to the footwell module via the K-CAN. DSC: Dynamic Stability Control When cruise control is in operation, the brake lights are actuated during automatic braking (legal requirement). To do this, a signal must be sent from the DSC to the accelerator pedal module via the PT-CAN. DSC: FLA: High-beam assistant In accordance with the traffic situation, the high-beam assistant sends a switch-on recommendation or a switch-off recommendation for the high-beam headlights to the footwell module (FRM). On the basis of this recommendation and various other the input variables, the footwell module decides whether the main-beam headlights should be switched on or off. FRM: Footwell module The footwell module is connected to the vehicle with 3 plug connections. Two 51-pin connector connect the main wiring harness. Another 26-pin connector is for the connection to the dashboard. FZD: Roof function center The roof function centre is responsible for the components of the interior lighting in the roof area. The Basic variant of the roof function centre has its own control unit. The interior light and the rear-compartment interior light are activated via the footwell module (FRM). The High variant of the roof function centre has its own control unit, the FZD control unit. The footwell module is connected to the FZD control unit via the K-CAN. JBE: Junction Box Electronics The lighting for the luggage compartment and the glove box lighting are connected to the junction box electronics. LDM: Longitudinal dynamics management In conjunction with the LDM, the option ”Active Cruise Control” uses the ”turn signal” from the footwell module to help when changing lanes. In other words, if a left turn indicator is given before overtaking, the distance to the vehicle in front is reduced. The vehicle to be overtaken is then ”lost” more quickly. On the other hand, when changing to the right-hand driving lane, a vehicle moving there is picked up more quickly. RLS / RLSS: Rain/light sensor or rain/light solar sensor > E81, E82, E87, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93: Rain/light sensor > E70, E71: rain/light solar sensor The rain/light sensor measures the ambient brightness outside the vehicle. Depending on the ambient lighting conditions, the footwell module will switch the driving lights on or off. To do this, the automatic driving lights control must be activated (light switch in switch position ”A”). At dusk, the rain-light sensor sends the message ”dusk”. The footwell module switches the low-beam headlight on. The automatic headlight-range adjustment for the dipped-beam headlights is actuated. In darkness, the rain/light sensor transmits the message ”Darkness”. The adaptive headlights are then activated when the vehicle is cornering. SZL: Steering column switch cluster The switch signals from the turn-signal/high-beam switch are picked up and evaluated by the SZL. The evaluated switch signals are forwarded as resistance-coded by the SZL via direct lines to the footwell module. The following components are controlled: Exterior mirrors Power window drive Headlight Tail lights Fog lights Centre high-mount stop lamp Auxiliary turn indicator light Front courtesy lighting Rear courtesy lighting Number-plate light 2 stepper motor controllers for the adaptive headlight stepper motors |

I had to have something done to my footwell fuse or something after I bought my 135is. They had to keep the car overnight to completely re-install the ECU. I haven't received that letter. I did get the combox letter or whatever it was to upgrade the cellular from 3g to LTE (I think).

Since I no longer have my 135is I have a brand new set of floor mats (with blue trim). If anyone is interested make an offer.

(BMW 51-47-7-327-833) I would be willing to ship but no idea what the cost would be and not positive if it would make financial sense to the buyer but I would have no problem shipping if agreed to.

Drove 5hrs, 350 miles from NJ to Pittsburgh to pick this up. #86. 1 owner, 21K miles and got an incredible deal. Coming from an 08 6spd 135, I was fearful of regretting the DCT. Didnt want to settle for it. Watched 2 hrs of videos on it before i made the trip and was sold. I will always love a 6SPD. But the amount of driving modes and purely eargasmic shifts make this thing awesome. Dont see myself regretting it. Finally in the club!
Oh, and it didnt take 5 hours to get home |
