F30 CIC in E82

Downeaster1 · 12-28-2013, 07:26 AM

So, I had an F30 CIC (car information computer) in my hand the other day at work and I realised, its almost physically identical to the E82/E90 CIC. The F30 unit has much more fluid menu scrolling and the navigation looks much more defined and is quicker. I'm gonna plug one into my E82 and see what happens...even though I don't expect much due to coding errors. I'll keep this updated.

I am seriously interested in this idea.

I agree that it's prob not gonna work - at least not easily - but can't hurt to try and if it does work, that's just so much win.

I believe bimmer retrofit was working on this and said it would be possible and available soon but as my car was a fully loaded model with com box I'd have limited functionality which they never clarified so I have no idea what limitations they were talking about. But the new systems are way faster

Would be interesting to see F30 CIC in action in our E82. NBT even more so :P

Such a fail post leaving us hanging lol

Guys you can retrofit the CIC from the F3x's into our cars. A buddy of mine has done a few. You do need all the other hardware I believe.

Harlequin · 04-11-2014, 05:19 AM

Can you get us any info Dack?
