1. I want to buy a leather interior which comes from an LCI, the seats have the same functions as mine so I guess that there is no problem. The problem is if the door panels from LCI will fit to non-LCI? Does anybody know?

2. I want the LCI iDrive controller, just the little "wheel" with rubber around. Does it fit?

 

Hi

The I-Drive Controller fit's ( plug & play )

In order to use the LCI doorpanels in a pre-LCI model , the wire's to the window up/down switch must be made longer ( aprox. 10-15 cm )

I don't get why bother with changng the door cards to LCI, the driver's door card is horrible compared to pre-LCI, the door handle looks like some cheap VW handle. Completely screws with the car's interior symmetry.

 

I want to buy a full leather interior and it is from a LCI E60 so I did not know if the door panels fits, because mines are without leather and I can't just put leather seats without leather on door panels.

 

Another LCI quick question , does the seats from LCI fits the pre-LCI without any retrofit? It has the same commands as my seats.

 

Well I guess it depends on when your car has been built. Lots of electric stuff changed in 09/2005. Even if your car is newer than that, I can't be sure. Sure this doesn't help much, but at least it's a start to begin investigating it.

Do I need to mess with any sort of wiring for this? is there a DIY?

 

No wiring, just the plastic round.
I just bought and installed a pre-LCI leather interior, multifunction seats, now I need to retrofit them.
