Just got off the phone with BMWNA Client Relations - they said it can be done and to call my local dealer!

I called my local dealer, EastBayBMW, and they said it can be done as well for $2000!

I know, talk is cheap - but I'll give it a try in the next week or so and let you all know how it went!

 

I'll be very interested in how this goes. Any information will be appreciated. Especially what parts they install that are in addition to the ones in the retrofit kit.

Thanks.

 

They are currently ordering the necessary parts - and will arrange an appointment once they arrive. I'll make sure to fill everyone in on the details.

 

I'm freakin. I ordered my car last month with out NAV. A few days later I asked my SA if I could ammend my order. It was too late!
If this works out for you, I'm getting it installed too!
Nothing like a clean install. If I wanted a cheap/practical option I would have bought an Accord.

Please keep us informed.

 

SA told me it parts would arrive by the end of the week and to plan on dropping off the car monday of next week.

I'll post all the details, part numbers, work order, etc.

Wish me luck.

 

COOL!!! hey 9/04 build? meaning that makes your car a 05... let me know how much they charge you for the retro fit... PM me if you dont want to release the price online.

 

Yup, my E60 is a 2005 - 9/04 build...so I dont have any bluetooth problems, but the nav thing is a big question mark since 6UA is no longer an option. Makes you wonder if MY2005 all come with nav prewiring or the retrofit im going in for includes the necessary wiring....who knows?

They quoted me over the phone at $2000 parts and labor. I'll verify that again when the parts arrive.

 

Sounds good. Hope it works out.

 

Hi itcrashed. We in Singapore are still waiting for the first retrofit to arrive. So far no sign of it. We may never get to see it at all.

 

welcome aboard, itcrashed !
