Agreed. I suspect that with the right Progman version some industrious E60 mod freak could retrofit the new controller into a pre-2009 car.

It?s possible - and I was thinking about that just before. It all depends on how the controller mounts into the current slot and how much logic is built into the controller.

That is, of course, one approach.
