Re: 3G EWS - LED Pushbutton

At risk of sounding an idiot, I am going to ask anyway. If its a push button, what happens when you push the button?

And, is mine a push button on a June 98 ///M?

Ouch!

£7k

Not worth selling if that's all I would get.

What would a remap on a 535d give me. It's already quick at 6.5 secs to 60. Would a remap give me more mpg?
