I must say that MINI/BMW is the first company from whom I have purchased parts that come with no directions. Ordered the MC driving lights. Got all the boxes, not a single set of directions in any box. Good thing the internet exists. I have been able to obtain install directions from here. They must want only their people (at big bucks) to work on them.

 

Sometimes some is not better than none. My all-time favorite said "Twist **** right for more of your pleasure"
I'm thinking Engrish is fun!

 

I think you hit the nail on the head timekpr. BMW wants their "factory" parts installed by the dealer, so they skip the directions. Kind of a drag, but what can ya do?
