What that relates to the OP problem is anybody's guess. It means simply that your car is production 03/08 so it still has the 'old' CDMA TCU for the Assist system. Does that mean I'll be able to change to the new Idrive controller or not.

part number listed for the 5 series is the same as what you guys are listing for the M3.Ĭan someone translate this to english. Have you guys tried sourcing the new controller they used in the 5-series from September 2008 to March 2009? That was designed to work with the older i-Drive systems.

In the meantime I will be posting in my other thread a caution note about this issue. Then you can determine if this is a production date issue. At least you need to know first if the controller is not defective. I would say, try your controller in any other production date 3 Series with iDrive to see if it works in another car at all. There's another controller for the Coupe as well, 65 82 9 189 050, however, there's member KKSigua M3 Coupe of production date 05/08 that's also using the -048 controller without issues according to his posts. In other words, discarting that your controller may be defective from factory/shipping/handling, the other possibility is that for your particular production of 01/08 the controller that will work is the -048 and not the -309. The -309 part is so new that neither, Tischer or United BMW have this part listed yet.

So it is either a hardware, software or both changes in the -309 controller. The -309 controller is a brand new part from production 03/09-on, and the -048 controller was valid until 03/09. The only thing that I can think of is that the two major changes in the MY2008 production was the M-DCT and the TCU, and both were performed after 04/08. I did not pay attention to that as the dealer did not informed me of the superceded part before shipping, and just because it just worked in my 05/08 production M3 right away. Thanks for pointing out that my controller P/N was different from the one that I actually ordered. I thought this was the problem but another member's recent post with those great pictures showed the new part number1 (even though he listed the old one as the one to get). could that be the problem? The other issue is that the part number for the controller they sent me was 65-82-9213-309 which my dealer said was for a replacement of 65-82-9189-048. Ripped out my old trim and plugged in my new CIC controller and, to my dismay, it didn't work!Īnyone else have problems with this plug-n-play mod? My E92 M3 is a 01/2008 build. Psd.Waited for a month or two and finally got the trim cover and controller in.

Is this controller so important that makes all this failures possible?īmw having The cup holder next to this high sensitive electronics command is very stupid…dont you think? How this is possible on a 528i F10 2011 N52B30AF euro version? Also manually on DS could not shift nothing manually and made noices from the back axle making the car shakinghard. Of course after a bump everything went on top of the controller and i inmediatelly stoped and try to dryed as fast i could.Īt this point the unit didnt stop working at all so i thought “dammn those bmw designers are clever people so this unit must be or got at least some kinda waterproof” …… yeah right.Īfter a few minutes the unit went off and the “powertrain failure started showing up and olso the day after the “trans.malfunction” then no foward only moves i think from 3rd to 4th and reverse is kinda ok. About two weeks ago the same happened to me after a non carefully placed glass of soda in the cup holders.
