e93thusiast · 09-08-2015, 02:20 PM

Im New in this forum, pls take it easy on my. My 2011 3' E93 LCI BMW M3. Type Code: DX93 was involved in a rear end collision. I decided to fix it myself. i got the bumper cover, replace air bag, everything was fine until, i discovered 4 cables that were cut, and I dont know where they belong to. After the accident, the convertible top wont open. fuses are ok, solenoids ok, ctm working fine, since i just got it new from dealer. The cut cables are in the rear right quarter panel, next to the speed sensor plugs. I track the cables, they run to the CTM, then to the CAS and Fuse-box. they might belong to a sensor or missing module. If you guys can help ill be thankful. Im attaching some pictures so you guys can see what i am talking about. thanks.

you better to read car using diagnostics, there should be error codes in relation to unavailable ECU, because green/orange is body CAN bus colors

I scanned it today. codes/faults:

D904 CAS: K-CAN line fault
E444 SMFA: K-CAN line fault
e484 SMBF: K-CAN line fault

any idea?

do you have rheingold software and d-can cable
start test and see via ECU tree map what ECU is unavailable
CAS is located near driver knee, SMFA i SMBF is seat modules
