    Way too much work & cost to retrofit iDrive, the iPhone does everything I need now (Nav, wireless music, OBDII access etc.)



    3SDM 0.01 in 19x9.5 front and rear.

    I can take care of a retrofit and coding if you change your mind, I do these for breakfast.

    I'm sure you are to be fair, but the cost of sourcing a complete dash, centre console, iDrive unit & controls along with whatever wiring is required won't be cheap. All to have something which I can already do with my phone seems a bit pointless IMO.

    Don't worry, it's well used :)

    Yes not cheap by any means, in total all inclusive for the 3 series, it costs around 1200 euros +/- using used parts from my shop.

    But you got to admit it is nice ;)

    But hey, your car is more than grant and you are happy with it, I was just making a biased suggestion :D

    Here's my Mazda MX-5 mk3 with new boots, I think they give it a bit more presence on the road, a bit more masculine some might say ;)

    Presumably not as mobile as Cork?
    I work a day or two per month in Dublin, city centre, can you complete most jobs same day?

    I would get the work done in Cork but no better sales tool than the pics you've posted, high quality of work.

    I might have two big jobs in Cork soon, but I was told after XMAS. So I am not sure yet. Feel free to get in touch, my number is on the site, when you are around or just before.
    If we are talking about tiding up iPhone cables/hardwiring them or even fitting a BT kit such as a Grom Audio, it is quick enough no big deal. Unless you have the OEM satnav, which would require me to remove carpet/passenger seat on the E46 back to the radio module in the boot to route microphone/BT dongle to the front.

    Well used and dirty, my jcw mini. Bought it months ago but only drove it for the first time this week.
    It got new bushings, top mounts and new discs/pads all round yesterday, driving really well now :D
