+1. This is something that most order on a brand-new car. I inquired about retrofitting when searching for my current car (I bought CPO) - it is expensive as heck to retrofit, and just about every dealership I asked at recommended against doing it due the cost and the amount of work needed behind the dash. The quotes I got were EUR 4,200 upwards.

Aftermarket units come at a fraction of the cost and, I dare say, some of them probably outperform the built-in BMW unit. There have been a few threads here about this.
