My Ride: 2006 E60 alpina b5
looking for retrofit inspiration
Hello
I have 2006 E60 (that is pre-LCI model), and I already retrofitted the NBT with rear view camera and touch controller. I love it. Now in the next 2-3 months I will retrofit LCI adaptive headlights, and next year I will retrofit limited slip diff.
However, I kinda lack in ideas of what else I can retrofit. I do not need power related retrofits, as the car has enough power and torque, so I am interested only in electronics or similar retrofits. The ones that can be done in electronics shop.
Now one of the features that I do not have and I wish I had is comfort access (unlocking the car without the key). Not sure if it can be retrofitted(?)
Also not sure if surround view can be retrofitted.
I already have the HUD but that is the original E60 hud, and therefore it does not show maps. Can the hud from F10 be retrofitted?
Or any other ideas?

for F10 HUD you need KOMBI from F10. I didn't hear about such kind of retrofitting in E-series.
Comfort access can be retrofitted.
You can retrofit soft-closed door locks, very useful thing.
Active cruise control with stop&go
Logic7 music (old logic7 amps are compatible with NBT)
sport gears shifter
Night vision is useless option for e60 IMHO, but why not?))

It was written for e63, but there is almost no difference.
And it is in Russian, but google translate should help

It depends on what color you want, but for the black ones, the part number is 63319242154. You also need the LED-module with finished cables, part number 61319242163. I made Y-split cable so i didnīt have to cut in the cars wiring. I took the ambient light wires from the rear doors, connected them to my Y-split cable and wired it back to the door. Plug and play sollution.

I like the B Pillar lights. Going on my to-do list!
My old thread has popped up again... Tells about doing the M5 Active Seats retrofit to existing, non-M5 seats.
