I wrote three articles until now about how you can make your BMW lights turn on automatically at night. In the first post, I proved that this should be something easy to implement inside a BMW E36 car. In the second post, I presented a circuit diagram that will help you create the electronic circuit that is supposed to control your lights and to turn them on automatically at night. In the third post, I wrote about my first attempt to implement this circuit and told you that it’s partially working but it needed some enhancements.

Today, I had the time to re-implement the circuit that I’ve been talking about and I connected it to the car. Then, I shot this video for the circuit in action. In the video, I tried to put my hands closer to the light sensor to make it "think" it’s night. Take a look at the video and let me know what you all think.

Note: this car is not mine, it’s my brother’s car and it’s dirty as usual 😆 .

I’m sure you all know by now that I hate Mercedes and Audi and basically any major company that’s competing with BMW 😆 . And since I posted about the Bugatti Veyron vs BMW M3 before and the poor BMW was humiliated. I thought why not do the same for Mercedes? So, I did a search and luckily found this. It’s a humiliating video for the Mclaren SLR, I hope you like it BMW fans 😈

It’s time for our monthly model post. In this post, I’ve chosen this cutie to be miss March 2008 and I think it’s a very cool car. But I have mixed feelings about the rims. At first, I thought they’re really special for it and then I said, there are other models that will look better on it, then again, I thought they’re cute. I’m not sure about them honestly. What do you think? Do you think these rims look cool or not?

If you open your trunk, you will notice that there are some wires that are running from you car into your trunk and these wires are covered with with a black coat. The problem with these wires is that they move whenever you open or close your trunk and if you add the time factor to this, you will end up with a wiring disaster that may affect the entire car. I’ve checked my wires and found that some of them are cut and the cover of the wires is removed. Luckily these wires didn’t make a contact to each other. Otherwise, I’m sure a disaster will occur. I’ve heard about a guy who faced this same situation and the entire car went crazy. The dash lights, the headlights, the OBC and a bunch of fuses burned trying to keep the car alive. So I thought you all need to know about this. Besides, the job is very simple, all you need to do is to open your trunk, remove the black coat that’s covering the wires (take a look at the photo below) and make sure they’re in a good shape. If they’re not, which I think it will be the common case, I suggest your replace them right away to avoid some serious problems in your car’s wiring.
