There is so much out there about retrofitting... For E60.... This was a little more difficult since I purchased a 2014 Combox....
I will be posting all kinds of things pictures.. etc for the weeks to come... My retrofit is about 50% Complete... As there's so many parts out off the car...
I will go into as much detail as possible and provide files etc...
If anyone needs any coding help.. please do not hesitate to ask... (Remote Connect via Teamviewer)
For the E60 Model... You need so many parts... I still have not connected my other antennas...Red and black... I know the black one is the bluetooth antenna.. I have a lot of pictures to take and a lot of information to source / go over ....
This will be a very detailed thread... and I will be posting complete instructions including hosting the necessary files and providing support if anyone needs help (Remotely)...... This includes coding.....
Please be patient...
In all seriousness this was harder than changing the solenoids / filters / parts on the Transmission.....
When this post is all said and done... I hope it can save someone else the countless searching and up to 50 Website Tabs that I generally have open on any single day.....
More to come....
If anyone needs any coding help... etc please do not hesitate to contact me...
Please be patient......

I'm in Gwinnett County... If you need help.... I'm local until March 31st...
I have put most of the files together that anyone with a E Series will need to complete a CIC Retrofit.... These files should also help those with NBT EVO Also.....
Folder is just a little over 11GB ...
This is because of the SP-Daten v67.0.000 - Over 8GB - Which includes - E60 - E65 - E70 - E89
I updated the CIC.... I didn't check what version it was on.. But I updated using latest SP-Daten Files.Using WinKFP - I used my BMW ICOM A2 (Clone).. I also have the CIC v41 Files Available as well....
I followed the following... It worked for me..
OPTION 1 WORKED FOR ME
Update Order 63,62,A0
Option 1 0 - Move Car Key to position 2 1 - Connect ICOM B (MOST) to any available MOST (fiber optic) Connector. Connect the USB cable between it and the ICOM module. 2 - Connect OBD connector to ICOM Module. 3 - Connect ICOM to Laptop via Ethernet cable. 4 - Start up Itool Radar and Reserve the ICOM slot. (You'll need to search for ITool Radar). 5 - I usually use the EasyConnect after ITOOL to select the MOST bus ASYNC setting and LOCK Icom. 6 - Start up WINKFP and select comfort mode 7 - Select Update ZUSB 8 - From the list, select CI63F1 first and click OK. 9 - Enter VIN 10 - Click DONE. 11 - In Next window, Click PROG-ZUSB. 12 - Blue bar will start - This step will take about 35-40 minutes. CIC screen will turn black and cic fan will be blowing at full speed. 13 -Select Update ZUSB again 14 - From the list, select CI62F1 and click OK. 15- Enter VIN 16 - Click DONE. 17 - In Next window, Click PROG-ZUSB. 18 - This step takes about 7-10 minutes. 19 - Lastly Select Update ZUSB again 20 - From the list, select CIA0F1 and click OK. 21 - Enter VIN 22 - Click DONE. 23 - In Next window, Click PROG-ZUSB. 24 - Screen might come up with BMW symbol and bootloader mode. 25 - This step takes about 45 minutes And code default cic
Option 2
There are three modules to flash. 63 is the first one. Go to c:\ec-apps\nfs\data and rename "develop_63" to "develop".
63:
-Configure ICOM for MOST_ASYNC_ab625 -Open WinKFP -Select expert mode -PABD = 08010408CI63F1.ipo (be carefully, do not choose CM63) -P-SGBD = 33CI63F1_10.prg (be carefully, do not choose CM63) -ECU-adress = 63 -Data = A9257174 -Program = 9257170 -NAAB = H020270_0202J5
WinKFP will complain about incorrect files and other things when you select the files, just ignore the complaints.
Now select done and you will get back to main menu. Now everything is ready for flash (also you have power supply connected, ignition on and cd/dvd removed from CIC). At this point you can turn on windows task manager (taskmgr.exe) because WinKFP progress meter will not work when flashing cic. Select "Program NAAB" and bootloader flash starts. CIC goes to bootloader mode and fan spins at full speed, this is normal. Screen shows bootloader picture or turns black, depending on old firmware version. Now you must be patient because the meter is not working. It will go to 100% and do all kind of things, just wait until "bootsector update finished" appears. Next select program program. Same precautions for this, it takes around 30 minutes to flash 63 program. After program programming has finished, select program data.
62:
Now you have flashed 63. Next you must flash 62. Go to c:\ec-apps\nfs\data and delete develop folder. Then rename develop_62_exx to develop. Go back to list on 63: on this guide. Configure WinKFP just like on that list, except change three bolded 63's to 62. Also select new data, program and NAAB files. If you did the folder swap (delete develop folder, rename develop_62_exx -> develop) correctly, there are just the correct files available. Select done and perform flash in the same order: NAAB, program, data. 62 is quite fast to flash, maybe five minutes for each part.
A0:
Now you know how to do this. Only difference is that A0 has only program, not data or NAAB. Delete old develop folder, rename develop_a0 to develop. Go again back to list on 63 on this guide, change three bolded 63's to A0. On this module you can't select data or NAAB, just select program and then select done. Choose program program. It takes around 30 minutes to program A0
