always remained "out".

dash board in front of the instrument cluster. I have checked the owner's manual and it makes no mention of these lights. They are about the size if the windshield washer jets and the red leds (I think that's what they are) point right at the driver as if to warn me of something. Anyone know what these are? TIA

These do not sound stock. I've never seen an E46/M3 with such lights. I'd have to guess that someone installed an aftermarket alarm or something and these are the warning lights. When you say "in front of the instrument cluster" - do you mean the recessed surface in front of the cluster? There is nothing there stock from the factory.

I have an after market Radar Detector mounted exactly as you describe. Feel around under the dash panel near the dead pedal and see if you find a small knob. If so, that knob has two functions. At the base is a 3 position switch (rotate to teh front for Highway Sensitivity, and toward the passengar for City). The Knob at the top is the volume control for a remote mounted speaker that gives you audible warning.

This was about a $1500 option here in Kansas, USA. It is also quite efficient if that is what you have.

remove the nospam to email me.
