iDrive Generations:

1) CCC (As seen in E60s with Navigation up to 09)
2) CIC (For 2010 E60s with Navigation. Has 7 button controller)
3) NBT (Third generation iDrive from the 2013-2014 F series cars)


Anyone retrofitted the new NBT iDrive from the F-Series cars into E60?

I've read that one cool feature of the NBT is that it has all the features from the combox built in.

Anyone have any other info on this?

Thanks

- Touch Controller; OPTIONAL
- Touch ECU; OPTIONAL
- NBT Video Cable;
- USB/Aux Port for armrest;

- Faceplate for CIC on E60 (front panel buttons); (if car has CIC the actual one can be reused)

What's the availability/pricing on these parts? Does anyone know? I'm still doing my research on this and am confused whether I have M-ASK or CCC. I've read the iDrive Wiki but it confused me with the production dates. It made it seem as if I have CCC while I thought I had M-ASK because I have the standard audio no nav and small screen. 2007 530i prod date 10/06.

Thanks for any input in advance!

Interested in this retrofit!

If the only advantage of the NBT is the inclusion of com box features then it would be good to see a cost comparison of NBT v CIC w/com box.
