Don't suggest something that may cause people to end up spending more $$ in the long run. If this worked for you and a couple of other people, it does not mean it will work for every body.
but more people than not report back that they got it working fine by buying pre coded CIC kits from eBay, even on other forums...

I'm suggesting that if you're going to make modifications there's no need to spent 3000$ on stuff that you can buy yourself. I took the leftover 2000$ and bought myself a beater car for the winters.

All I'm suggesting is with a little brain power, and google, there's no need to spend 3000$ on this retro fit. I pieced mine together but got screwed by a guy in the UK claiming it was a 'functioning unit'. My mistake. I still paid less than 2k for the entire set up. Also it was so good, I managed to get a fully functioning CIC unit replaced for free by BMW under the 'owners warrentee' (mine is a 2010).

If you aren't confident in doing it, then don't... or pay the price! Literally!
