As stated above, a swap of components (HD screen and CIC computer) work 90% plug and play - the HD screen requires a completely different video cable and a power connector to be connected in the 1 Series, the CIC plugs right in the existing Quadralock- but requires a set of FSC codes from BMW to enable the Navigation and Voice Activation.
I will be doing an iDrive swap in my MY2008 E90 M3 once the MY2010 CIC is available to order from the dealer (the HD screen, the cables, connectors and controller are already acquired or found) and a DIY thread will be created then. It should be applicable to the 1-Series as the CIC P/N is the same as the 3-Series.
