Transfer F30 iDrve to our cars?

I drove my father in-law's 328 and it has a pretty sweet iDriva screen and capability. It showed the album are while streeming Spotify via BT.
Has anyone found a use it and is it even possible to put in our cars?
Thanks.

So you use the existing iDrive screen with the updated NBT?
How difficult is the install?
Thanks for the tip.

No you'll need a new display and it needs to be fitted into the E90 housing.

Do some Google search to see if you're up to the task. Requires a lot of coding.

Or another option is to get a whole kit:

Thanks for the info.
What did you get installed and what features does it have of the newer headunits?
Not sure I want to change out the iDrive screen.

Well if you dont want to change out the screen then looks like you wont be doing the swap anyways lol. I dont see the big deal with it.

Search CIC vs NBT and I'm sure you'll get lots of info.

Keep in mind the total parts cost of the swap will more than likely cost you around $1500-2000 unless you have a hookup on parts.
