sorry to jump back to this but i want opinions on those with iDrive, i can order the old system for about $1500 less than the new one is it so bad that it is worth the extra 1500 to get the new system

i have used the old system in the past and i didn't have much of a problem with it the cost difference would be like 2200 versus like 3700, both numbers could go down if anyone can give me a lead to good prices on center trim or a dash haha

sorry to

sorry to

i would definitely go for the old style, if you wait i'm sure some people will be upgrading to the new style and selling theirs

LeMans335xiE90 · 07-16-2010, 09:38 AM

old style is garbage compared to the new one id spend the extra money and do it right

GTiceman · 07-16-2010, 09:39 AM

that is what i am thinking Kevin, less headaches

i don;t have pdc or a camera which are two reasons to upgrade to the new unit

this old unit can hold me over until i buy a new car in a few years haha plus i don't have to worry about swapping my radio out with it when i go to the dealer for software upgrades

now which ipod interface to buy?

LeMans335xiE90 · 07-16-2010, 09:41 AM

yo... kev.. e90 pre lci to lci... how different is the mtech bumper? would a VRS lip fit from pre lci

Sejzilla · 07-16-2010, 09:41 AM

how much would it run me if i wanted to run a rear view camera on my 08 e92 coupe...i already have pdc and navi fyi

true but nick because of my build date i need to put my old radio back in before taking it to the dealer ... i can leave the iDrive dash/screen/etc but the software computer for BMW won't be able to update the car because to it there should be no way i have that new system in place

believe me i like the new style too but it is hard to justify another 1500 for some features that it contains that can't be used without laying down more money such as google and news and such, updated voice control, pdc, and cameras and the 6fl system which is another costly retro

Probably not hard at all... talk to Alekshop (the vendor)... pretty sure he made something like this and is selling it...

GTiceman · 07-16-2010, 09:51 AM

damn fine wood trim costs a ton too for the center piece

well the dealer can apparently work on the car fine but like he can't do any work on the iDrive, at least with the old one they may look confused if they look at original documentation but the VO will show that it was there

really? with iDrive or without? I have been looking for new trim ... i even thought about getting something cheap and cf wrapping it ... i just think the wood looks good with the saddle and i don't know what else would
