If Sirius has it own circuit board in the NBT, it might be possible to just replace the SiriusXM board and keep the same NBT (HD, NAV, FM HD Radio, etc.)
I read from your earlier post the 2014 NBT you got for your 2013 M5 was about $400 through a friend. So that would be a low ball price for an Ebay find of the same box I am sure.
The other big expense for me at this point would be getting the BMW Coding software and connector cable.
I heard on Volks Wagons, the Info/Comm Computer cables plug right into the same port used by OBD ECM etc. UPDATE: Its plugs into the same place (OBD2) with the ENET cable into the 535i BMW
Question: What will the coding software and connector cable cost? UPDATE: Nevermind I found the cost of the software (E-sys 3.27.1), is free. The OBD Cable is about $20 plus shipping. I havent looked for an Amazon source for it yet.
Thanks!

It's all integrated together. I looked at trying to replace just the radio board (it's one big radio board, not just a separate Sirius module). So you'd have to replace the entire headunit.
If you look on eBay, you can probably find them pretty cheap. I found one for $299 (

As long as the build date on the NBT is 07/2013 or higher you should be good to go.
