I understand that's what year responded bimmerretrofit
Good day Francesco,
I apologize but we cannot email any instructions or technic description before you become our customer and place an order.
As for the light pelase do not worry. We have sold over a thousand CIC kits for E6x series and I can ensure you that lights fix can be done by you. It is our unique method which our engineers developed for all E6x series use.
Regarding the LCI climate panel - if you sure that your vehicle already have LCI panel then you do not need to worry and you will not need to change panel.
Only if your vehicle comes with pre-LCI panel then you need to change it if you want to have all functions working with iDrive.
Thank you,
Kate Ivanova

You didnt need to do that, I fitted a CIC controller and it turns out the pre-lci shifter bezel will fit an LCI trim panel.

it wasn't about gear knob gaiter I could not find console trim in same colour for long time and did not want to buy a new one. console trim cut is a bit risky but if you confident and go slowly you will get good result
