  1. BMW 7 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 7 Series
    Hi all, I'm thinking of fitting paddle shifts to my F01....The car is a 2011 F01 740D MSport. I have Esys and am familiar with the coding side of things but would need to know which modules etc to code? I also need some pointers as to how difficult/easy this job would be and any links to some...

    So i retrofitted a S606A Navigation System Business into my 2015 f20. I am using an emulator and previously I had a Hu entry (without navigation) Everything seems to be working with the exception of the navigation. It is greyed out. Can anyone help? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Hi guys. New to the forum so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong section. I'm buying my dad's 2012 f10 520d se off him in October and had read on the American forum that this retro fit is as easy as removing the switch with the handbrake and blank button, and replacing it with a switch with...

    I have the ‘normal’ light on my 2015 335d and would love to get the xenons with leds- is it possible to get this retrofitted and is it a difficult expensive job ? Anyone know of a place I can get this done? Thanks

    Hi guys, I have a 2009 E91 touring that didn't come with Bluetooth, but does have the professional stereo. I'd like to retrofit Bluetooth to the car as my current hands free is ok but clunky and generally pants, plus whilst it does audio streaming the quality is rubbish . I understand the BMW...

    Hello all. I have an issue with my 2007 E92 335i in that the ashtray in front of the gear stick is just that...an ashtray and has no power point/cigarette lighter in there and I really need a power socket there for my satnav. So I have purchased an ashtray with a lighter fitting inside. I was...

    Hi Guys Anyone had any dealings with these guys- especially Boyd Beattie? This is more of a warning to anyone thinking of doing business with these muppets. I found these guys on the Internet as they are supposed to be oldschool BMW specialists. Dropped them an email wanting some advice and...

    I know this has been covered again and again, but I've read a number of posts on this and I'm none the wiser as each time it seems to be different as BMW fiddles with the bits they put in the cars. I've had this for car for a while and I'd like to add the USB port that most cars have in their...

    Hi Just purchased a 2014 320D tourer and the dealer has retro fitted sat nav to it. All seems to work ok but I have two issues currently I'd like to get some advice on before speaking loudly at the dealer..! 1. The navigation option does not appear on the idrive menu? to select sat nav i have...
  10. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    My wife finds the tailgate heavy to handle so I looked for a way of automating it. Obviously the cost of a BM retro-fit would be inconceivable even if they would do it. Got the local garage to fit one of these for me. Total cost just under £600. No connection to the product other than a very...
  11. BMW 1 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 1 Series
    Anyone fitted a retro fit touch screen and how simple are they. I believe Aircon/ heating dials have to move down a level. I have a start stop button below theese where does this then get moved to?

  13. BMW 1 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 1 Series
    I was wondering if anyone has had their In-car entertainment systems (in the F20 series specifically) swapped out so they could have navigation and/or DAB added to their cars? I've seen the retro-fit kits that BMW sell but they require a second remote, and i want to avoid that so i can keep...
  14. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi Everybody I have a 2008 (LHD) E91 335D. I love the car but am always frustrated by the lack of an oil and water temperature gauge. Is it possible to retro fit these gauges to this model? I was thinking of using genuine instruments from another BMW (any recommendations please as to which...
  15. BMW 6 Series - Tech Talk E24,E63,E64,F12,F13
    Is this (easily) doable? Is an E63 pre-wired and is a connecting lead required? More importantly i'm told it needs coding which takes time and therefore costs a lot, and that fitting a unit from another vehicle is a bad idea and is possibly 'dangerous' by way of complications with coding? I...

    Hi Everyone, new here! I recently bought a nearly new 2013 640d (only 3,500 miles on the clock) with almost all the options i wanted on it. The only thing it didn't have is the Comfort seat option (which incidentally always makes me wonder if the standard seats are designed to be 'uncomfort')...

    Hi, I know there is already a lot of info on here ref retrofitting Bluetooth- but obviously not enough for technophobes like me 樂 buying the module on eBay with a mic and cabling etc. Has anybody in Liverpool had it done / done it themselves? Or know anyone that could fit it for me. - or...

    I have recently installed a NBT with DAB into a early 2012 F11. Since the install the radio reception has been terrible.... I understand this is a common problem. I have been looking at AM FM DAB amplifiers on Ebay and have found a few of them.... this one in particular seems to fit the...
