Bimmer Retrofit Presents - E9x no-iDrive to iDrive conversion

bmwretrofit · 08-21-2011, 01:34 PM

Good day everyone and Thank you for reading!

Each day we receive many questions from you about the CIC kits which will also include the kit for the E9x series non-iDrive to iDrive conversion. After we had successfully done few such conversions at our shop we decided to make a guide with all detailed pictures for such conversion and also start to offer a conversion kits.

The plan is to offer kits (dashboard, plastics, iDrive wiring for the display and controller, etc. to our Canadian customers first. Next is to offer to all our US customers. If this experiment work well we will extend it to our European office.

For all our Canadian customers we now have a shop in Toronto area where it will be possible to make all installation for the iDrive to your E9x as well as for CIC and Combox kits.

Below are just a few pics which will be a part of the E9x iDrive Installation guide soon

Vehicle E92 2008 from Toronto Ontario

Stay tuned

May you give me a price quote?

j-ventura · 08-27-2011, 08:19 PM

Wow, that looks amazing. Do you feel it's going to be something someone with average/above average installation skills can do? What is the total estimated cost going to be?
