What year is your car? It should be as simple as unplugging the old and replugging the new. And the TCU unit is located on the left side of the trunk/boot (not sure any difference with euro spec 5er). At least thats how I did mine. If your car is not BT activated, you might have to go to dealer for programming update. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Also, I have an euro spec TCU for sale, if you're interested.

Not do-able, Youre going to have to go to the dealership. they are going to have to get a new vehicle order or retrofit it and program. Sorry to burst your bubble

I may be wrong here but when I was researching my bluetooth retrofit for my '04 I'm pretty sure I ran across a number of people who were able to do this that didn't come prewired. I think one of the problems there in is that it's expensive as new wiring is needed, new microphones, a TCU, a reprogram etc etc and this makes it very expensive and cost counter productive.
