The short answer is no. Someone has done a retrofit, but it took months and cost twice what buying the feature from the factory would cost.

you are better off buy a car with a i-drive instead.

However, if you're like me, you can follow my thread and there is a PDF of sorts with instructions: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131416 And no...it doesn't take months (it took that long to figure the retrofit out), but it can be done in a day, and for less than the cost of the OEM option. No one has done a 2nd-gen i-drive retrofit yet, but is there is a thread that follows that as well... |

Boster4075,
I like to congratulate you on a first class write up about the Navigation/iDrive installation. I just got myself a 2009 Z4 35i with all the options except for the iDrive at least I know now that A) it can be added and B) it will properly be very costly. Anyone out there has installed a iDrive or had it installed into a 2009 Z4 35i please let me know I would appreciate some feedback
