Gd.Dam Third Brake Light
It's been cracked for a while but the other day when I got home this.
Ordered the replacement & plan to install soon. Covered it with tape for now. ;-/

Weird I probably just got a bad one.
Mine sticks out a few mm and is biased towards the top of where it mounts, leaving a small gap on the bottom. Oh well I RMA'd the 4 month old official BMW one so once that comes in I'm gonna swap them out. My previous owner already switched it out so: - the original one - PO's replacement - my first replacement which broke - the Dorman one that's in it right now - the OEM one again It's a shit design. |

I'm getting brutally reminded of our open diffs though. Think I spooked the DSC system last night: did a fat peel (read: one tire fire) and all the DSC, abs etc. lights came on. They went away like 20 seconds later but who knows what happened. Think it saw such varying wheel speed and thought something was broken.

When I had that bad wheel bearing, I spun the wheels up with the car on stands, and the cluster lit up like a christmas tree. I cleared the codes in Carly and it was fine. Did an entertaining drift-ish thing this morning (as much as I could get with everything on). It doesn't intervene smoothly, but I still had fun with it. I think the diff works better when it has to work with less tire...

The one that's least expensive, because they all break eventually?
