I have a yellow stripe and white stitching with intention to restitch to the OEM M colors, will try to post picture(s) later
These are great times for Navi retrofit, because the latest NBT navi version (standard on F-series) with touch sensitive controller: it has everything (BT, USB, WiFi, ...) integrated so you do not need the fiber optic bus from front to back and no big box with electronics in the trunk. Just replace your headunit and of course you still would have to install a new dashboard with navi-screen (I have not seen successful cutting of non navi dashboard) and the wiring is mostly local. You also need a 3rd party NBT adaptor that translates E-series type of signals to F-series type of signal. On my list but will take some time before I get to it. Great NBT feature for the US track boys: you can view both pressure and temperature of all tires (EU models; would have to retrofit TPM sensors). For your consideration: there already many different great (E9x) threads on this topic! |

What about 'upgrading' an existing equipped 1M navi to the NBT navi (F-series) ?

that posted link is a correct NBT adapter. That supplier also offers some support on installation instructions. |

I have a non electronic with a blue stripe, I tend to have clammy hands and I was concerned in getting this but it has been great. When it gets dirty the fiber gets matted down but like everyone's said, a little water and a rag, 20 minutes later it's almost new.
Only thing there is the last time I cleaned it, I rubbed the rag over the blue stripe and the blue started to come off, anyone know of a paint color I could get from the dealer and repaint the blue stripe at 12? I also have the auto technic carbon fiber center steering wheel trim and I prefer it to the plastic or alcantra and I've tried all three. Their products aren't the absolute highest quality, they often don't clear coat/uv protect, so wouldn't recommend them for exterior carbon parts but this piece looks great and really adds some sportiness to the 1m's spartan interior.

btw as an update I DID install this last week! it is amaaaazing! LOVE it. Good to know it's easy to clean! I think alcantara horror stories are from people who don't maintain them

Congrats !
When here in Germany I bought this one as i didn't want a middle stripe or a flat bottom. It came on the DTM edition M3. Cant wait to go back home and install it !
