I have a sneaking suspicion because left on the hot bulb check (for God knows why : ) for the LED turn signal and the lack of ground is causing the turn signal to assume an error.

Folks that did the LCI taillight swap is going to go by the DIY instructions and code out the hot and cold bulb checks, hence, no rapid flashing turn signal error.
Lol so in theory this issue could be solved by just coding out the bulb checks? Seems like a much easier solution.
I really believe so..

I mean, there must be a logical explanation for this fault but I'm merely just a guy making an educated guess based on the facts and it won't cost anything to give it a shot, if you already paid for the Bimmercode APP.

I hope I win a prize if I'm right..
