Hi Wayne, thanks again for your response.

I will have a play over the weekend. I have left the fairings of for easy access to the front indicators... so that helps!!

Silly question, are the LED "globes" fitted BMW or after market ?

ozhuthy:
Not a silly question at all... and here in the problem may exist...

Aftermarket.

Rizoma rears, and the MotoDynamic Flush Mounts up front.

I have the resistor combos correct (no errors and correct flash rate)... but given they are larger "ceramic" style resistors... I was hopeful I could get rid of them because they are a PITA.

OK, understood, I have always avoided using resistors on older models as they just waste power but back in those days relays could be replaced, with these modern systems BMW have been known to do some comms to the actual LED flasher units (LIN BUS) which after market flashers dont support same with some other intelligent components in vehicles, I saw a classic of this type in an X5 this week with permanent errors due an after market reversing camera & display system, I doubt it would apply in your case but it would be a possibility, have a play over the weekend & see what you find, I will try to find time to look at a diagram

Did you manage to get this sorted? having same issue!

It seems to do 3/5ths of jack!!

I actually have zero idea as to what this setting does. I have tried it on both, and the behaviour of the indicators and error codes seems to be identical.

If anyone has any insight into what this parameter is actually supposed to do, that would be marvellous.

Cheers,
Huthy.
