What Should my Summer Retrofit Project be?
Last summer I learned how to program keys for the E90 and this summer I need a new project. In no particular order of difficulty or cost:
1. Wireless charging 2. ACC Stop + Go 3. Soft close doors 4. Fake M badges 5. Front PDC 6. Blind spot monitoring 7. OEM Front (Surround if I can afford it) camera system (I already have a rear iCam from a X5) 8. M3 Cluster (With M logos removed) 9. Illuminated door sills 10. Night Vision All projects will be using 100% OEM parts. I really want to retrofit an OEM HUD or front collision camera but both parts will not physically fit anywhere in the E90. Side note would it be worth it for me to import a bunch of LCI warning triangle retrofits? Last edited by Nickco43; 04-17-2019 at 02:53 PM.. |

It looks like ACC stop + go and soft close doors are in the lead.

Hell I could buy a base model F30 with the amount of money I dumped into the E90 by now. |

Sounds like you really just want to buy a new car!
I voted for night vision by the way. Quote:

It can be done!
Funny enough BMW makes a HUD retrofit kit for the E90/Fxx cars. I don't remember the kit getting great reviews though since it costs over $300, is hard to find and doesn't give you anything more than the $20 eBay/Alibaba kits give you.

It looks like the top three are
1. Soft close doors 2. Blind spot monitoring 3. Tie between ACC S+G Soft close doors are 100% doable and would be an easy retrofit. They have been done before on the E92 and E93 but not on the E90. A soft close set is currently $500 and I think that should wait for a $200-$300 set pops up. BSM would be an over $1000 retrofit currently and the F30 mirrors may look bad on the E90. This will be a "pick and pull" retrofit in a few years. I didn't know how many parts actually went into it. No one has done an ACC S+G retrofit on the E90 and only a handful have retrofitted the factory equipped version. Having the car drive itself in traffic seems useful and a great safety feature when playing with the NBT Evo. My current ACC will not follow close enough for driving in the north east. I don't mind spending $400-$500 to see if it works with the E90. |

I think you are a stick shift but if not why don't you do the ZF 8 speed. I am asking for selfish reasons as I want one in my diesel. And you need to start a youtube channel.

If I do get this working I will make a time lapse video of me driving to the beach without pressing the gas or brake pedal. |

Here is another useful mod, power lift trunk.
I have seen the ones with the added spring. But not a true power lift and might cause issues with the struts later on. |
