Took a little fiddle, but once correctly seated it will fit 100% Only a handful bolts and screws securing the dash.ĭash removed. I know it takes a lot of time, but at the end I ended up with zero bolt/screws missing or leftover.Įverything removed. I was very thorough with marking all connectors with small signs(as you can see from the pictures) also Instead of putting all screws, nuts and bolts in a box, I taped them to a piece of paper and wrote location on them. Quick response to questions(thanks for your patience Patryk), Hardware nicely packaged and all in fine conditions.Īlso thanks to MEN who did the coding(over the internet), all went smooth.įirst some pictures from the dash removal. Secondly a thanks to Patryk from Bimmertech from who I bought most of the Hardware - Idrive unit, trims etc. I was actually surprised it was not more difficult. So my suggestion to you if you are thinking of doing this, but afraid it’s too complicated, I can say this: It requires a lot of preparation, but as for removing the dash and retrofitting the Idrive it is NOT rocket science. I change my tires twice a year but that’s it… No oil change, changing filters or any thing else. My previous experience with Auto Electrics/Repair is NON- existing.
