Confirmed working on a 2011 E82 CIC:

1) Syba caddy
2) Sandisk Extreme (non pro) 128Gb 120 MB/s
3) Expanded media partition

Tried a cheaper no-brand compact flash which was faster but was not detected by CIC (navigation did not load).

I deleted the music collection before backup (to minimise the hbmedia partition backup) and re-uploaded using the glovebox USB afterwards (took forever). System is marginally faster but I did it for preserving the original harddrive and didn't want to spend extra for the pro compact flash card.

Thanks Jagaer for the detailed DIY instructions!
