Hi all, am new to the forum, and new to BMW's, I am due to take delivery of my new company car in the next few weeks, its is a 520d M Sport Touring, auto box, in jet black with black Nasca Leather with comfort seat - heated/cooling, air con advanced, visibility pack, sun protection glass, sunroof, extended lighting pack. It was ordered some 10-12+ weeks ago and I didn't spec the sat nav/bluetooth on order as it was getting expensive. I later changed my mind and tried to add this, by this time they couldn't change the order without cancelling (incurring cancellations costs) and then re-ordering with an even longer time period for delivery (i.e. late Jan 2008).

My question is has anyone retro fitted sat nav/bluetooth? And what kit would I need to do this? And give me any advice on this!
Thanks in advance.

Yes to both, but navigation retrofit is either really costly or really complicated with used parts. Also used navigation parts might be impossible find to LCI car.

My hint, do search: Retrofit navigation
