E-series cars are BN2000 while F-series cars with NBT are BN2020, the messages need to be transformed. This is in my opinion why the adapters for E-series are so much more expensive, they need to do a lot of research to determine how to transform the messages.
Car systems will change the vin on my adapter for free. Also I wonder if some other retrofit company complained about my CIC listing on E90 post and had it taken down.
