I currently owe 530i 2005.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to change IDrive Button to newer one?

the old one is just simple silver cap but newer one is with black strip(?) on it.

I want to know if it is possible to replace it to newer one... (mine is kinda rotten... thats why..)



and One more question!

I just downloaded BMWNAV2009.1 Version of North America including Red light and Speed cam POI.

will it be okay to upgrade nav system with this version of navigation... I was just little bit worried.....


Please leave some comment ! Thanks!

Yes, it is easy to replace the iDrive knob and it is possible to upgrade to a LCI one.

iDrive knob can be replaced easily. Try eBay for a decent used one.
