Fantastic writeup! Definitely a dream upgrade for me. How much are we looking at all in, if you don't mind me asking?

There a couple places you can source from & price is dependant.
Id highly recommend Bimmertech as they are who I used & Im very happy with the outcome.
I chose them after reading many other positive reviews, as I said it took a leap of faith & Im happy I did it.

Here is a better ending.
A full beauty shot of the new dash, trim, LCI controls & screen with Nav running.
I love it!

awesome job, how much did it cost you altogether?

Also, in that last picture you can see the maps are kind of hilly... is that showing you what's uphill and downhill around you in real life? If so, that's effing amazing!

That is an awesome upgrade. Great job! I would also love to know the cost of all this, if anything a ballpark would be nice.

Check out their pricing on:

http://www.bimmer-tech.net/

They have pricing listed & are the supplier I went with & had a very good experience.
You can contact Patryk (the principal) and talk pricing with him through their email as well.

Im not trying to be difficult, its just easier this way as prices could change.
Ive read threads of people doing group buys, but I went in solo so I could move quickly.
