1. Important information
(Only for use within the BMW dealer organisation.)
Installation time approx. 7.5 hours.
The installation times may differ depending on the condition of the car and the equipment in it.
This retrofit system may only be installed with a headlight cleaning system.
All servicing, repair, installation and adjustment work on cars is conducted on your own responsibility.
All work is to be completed using the latest BMW
–Repair instructions,–Circuit diagrams,
–Service manuals,–Work instructions,
–Diagnostics manuals
in a rational sequence using the prescribed tools (special tools) and pursuant to the relevant health and safety
regulations.
Safety notes
An optional equipment wiring harness is used on the E53. This means that if a car is fitted as standard with at
least one of the following pieces of special equipment (SA), the other modules (MD) for the special equipment on
this level will also be integrated in the vehicle wiring harness.
The modules for the special equipment for the lower levels will then also be available.
Example: If a car is fitted with SA 536 (auxiliary heating system), all models on level 3, level 2 and level 1 will be
available.
Level 2
SA 235 (MD AHM) (trailer hitch)
SA 502 (MD SRA)
SA 508 (MD PDC)
SA 609 (MD navigation system)
SA 624 to 629 (US SA 640 (MS car telephone / radio)
Level 3
SA 248 (MD steering wheel heating system)
SA 261 (MD rear airbag)
SA 265 (MD RDC) (tyre pressure control module)
SA 461 (MD backrest heating system in the rear)
SA 496 (MD seat heating system in the rear)
SA 533 (MD rear air conditioning)
SA 536 (MD auxiliary heating system)
Level 4
SA 220 (MS single axle level control)
Level 5

Safety information
These installation instructions are only valid for LHD cars.
All lock nuts are to be replaced.
All tightening torque values are to be taken from the current repair instructions and must be observed at all times.
Ensure that cables and other lines are not kinked or damaged when they are being installed in the car and that
they do not impair the freedom of movement of other components.
If the specified pins or chambers are already in use, bridges, double crimps or parallel end stops are to be used.
Do not use so-called ”Scotchlock connectors" since they may cause faults in the vehicle's electrical system.

F
Lay branches I1to I3(grey/white, grey/brown and grey/green cables) forwards a little on the rear axle, secure them
to the cable holder (8) and lay them to the level sensor (9).
Only for cars without a level control system:
Connect cables I1to I3on the xenon wiring harness as follows:
Connect branch I1, grey/white cable, to slot 2 of the black 6-pin plug X1451 (I).
Connect branch I2, grey/brown cable, to slot 3 of the black 6-pin plug X1451 (I).

Seal the hole in the floor of the boot with the grommet (H).
Ensure that the grommet (H) is fitted so that the car is watertight and that the cables do not interfere with any
other components.
G
Only for cars with an optional equipment wiring harness above level 2 (see section 1):
Lay branch J, yellow/white cable, parallel to branches I1to I3(see Figure E) into the boot. Lay branch Jon the

(11). Cut branch J, yellow/white cable, to size and connect it to the yellow/white cable from slot 2 of the 6-pin plug
X1310S (11) using the double mini connector supplied in the parts kit (see magnified view).
Drill two holes in the boot trim (10) and secure branch Jto them using cable ties (12) (see magnified view).
Ensure that the spare wheel cannot chafe on branch J (yellow/white cable).
H, I
Only for cars with an optional equipment wiring harness up to level 2 (see section 1):

footwell to the left-hand side of the car, through the additional passage hole in the front bulkhead grommet (13)
and the grommet (14) into the engine compartment and then along the vehicle wiring harness on the inside wing
to the 42-pin blue plug X1170 (15) on the ABS/DSC control module.
The left front bulkhead grommet (13) does not have an additional passage hole for retrofit wiring harnesses in
the first cars in the series. In this case the cable Jis to be laid along vehicle wiring harness through the front
bulkhead grommet (13).
EN/2-51

Disconnect the 42-pin blue plug X1170 (15) from the ABS/DSC control module, release the plug strip, remove the
