I can confirm that it's an easy direct swap and works with no problems in my 2006 325xi.

It's not worth it for $350, but keep an eye on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-2011-BMW-...#ht_2989wt_980), and you can flip your old unit.

+1, I did this same exact thing. I bought a Dynavin unit for my 2006 325i and didn't want to relocate the heated seat buttons to the wood trim so I instead scoured eBay and found a climate control unit off a 2010 e92. I lost the REST feature but now can control both climate zones in the car from the driver's side (which I prefer anyway). It's a direct swap out, no extra wires.
