Firstly have you got the CCC fan harness and cable? for the pro nav unit.
Secondly have you got the iDrive high controller?.
Thirdly you will need to change your centre console trim to fit the new unit.

You will need these items, also once the job is done the car will need programming.

OK no need to change the controller, this applies to pre-LCI cars. yours is an LCI.
CCC fan and cable 65836933200 £46.88
Centre console top trim for CCC 51456976362 £23.97
Bottom centre console trim I will need to know what wood finish that is as there is loads of trim finishes.
