I have hyper flash turn signals and I found this flasher relay on FCP euro BMW Hazard Flasher Relay - Wehrle 61361388533 | FCP Euro was wondering if anyone knows if these would work?

Explain hyper flash, have you fitted led bulbs to the indicators?

No idea, I do know a standard Z3 unit wont unless you can now buy one that fits Z3s and work with LEDs. Someone may jump on with more up to date info.

if @5harp3y is still around he can supply a modified one, or theres a PDF attachment showing how to do it.

You can use LED bulbs which are CAN compliant. They have higher resistance so don’t cause the hyper flash.

I don't think that will work in a Z3, no canbus system, old relay system, but happy to be proved wrong.
I agree with you. There is no CANBUS system in the Z3 but the CANBUS compliant LED bulbs prevent the hyperflash from happening with no need to modify the indicator relay.
My understanding is that it’s because of a higher resistance in the LED bulb circuit which mimics the resistance of a filament bulb.
I’ve tried a lot of bulbs….

OK I'll take your word for it. Never worked for me on my Z3 always got hyper flash with canbus compliant bulbs (and they weren't cheap ebay ones either) until I put the modified flasher unit in.I agree with you.

@Nodzed you were right!

Indicator Relay - LED Modified
Hi Everyone, I have spent quite a lot of time trying to find LED indicator bulbs which don’t cause hyper-flash. …I failed…. I went through in excess of 10 different styles, makes and models but found that all, eventually, hyper-flash, despite the marketing spiel! The combination of LED...
