So recently, my car started giving me Door Open warnings. It would happen only at night and when in a garage, so when it's dark. I brought it into my SA to take a look at (I have a maintenance plan, but warranty is gone) and after diagnosis, she sent me this email:

"We have fully diagnosed your vehicle and the follows is needed:

All of the aftermarket LED lights currently installed in your BMW have shorted out the Footwell Control Module in your vehicle, which is causing the door ajar warnings and the lights to flicker on and off. We are recommending replacing all of the aftermarket bulbs with the OEM bulbs and replacing the FRM.

The cost to replace the FRM and reprogram the vehicle is $1130.00. Please let me know if you need a quote on installing the factory bulbs.

The vibration being felt while driving at speeds at above 35+ is as result of both passenger side wheels being bent. The cost to replace both wheels is $838.00 plus a 4 wheel alignment for $169.95."

I figure I could find OEM wheels elsewhere, like here. Just looking for some advice on how to proceed. Any help is much appreciated.

you can find the module online either from here or ebay or various other parts sites. just make sure you get the right module. but regardless you will still have to take it in for programming which should cost about $350. and you got the right idea for wheels buy some off here and go to a local tire shop(one of your preference) and get a 4-wheel alignment done shouldn't be more then $125.

I have a 2007 335xi, what module should I get? I searched and I saw theres FRM, NFRM, and FRM2? I've also read people upgrading the FRM?

I looked on bavauto and tischer and couldn't find it. Can anyone provide a link as well?

Thanks for anyone and everyone who can help!

shoot an email to your SA and ask which module you have. and the reason people upgrade the FRM is because if they don't have the FRM3 when they do LCI conversions the lights won't work properly.

its easy to change the FRM your self. from is like 400 bucks and programming should be about 125. they want too much money

[335xi_zer0]

From the email above, she said I have just the FRM. Is that correct? Sorry I'm not playing dumb I just don't know.

Where can I buy it online? I'm totally down for getting one elsewhere, getting it programmed, and putting it in myself. Just need to get it first.

Thanks again guys.

well its under the drivers foot well of your car. get the part number off of it and look it up on google or ebay. thats the best way to insure you get the right module man.
