How'd you do it?! Definitely prefer doing this over changing the whole screen

Me too, I prefer it this way. I had a shop install (and maybe program?) this thing called an mmi box.

They bought and handled everything, super happy with everything.

I have the same setup, it's a box, easy installation too. And the functionality is amazing 🤩

The installation is a DIY, easy job. I sell such units and install them as well, it's a plug&play job for our F10 platform

I washed my M5 today

M5_Raz · 06-13-2021, 12:44 AM

Changed my oil and installed this bad boy at the same time. Had it laying around for like 10 months. Excited to use the drain plug next time!

Blaxwil · 06-13-2021, 12:53 AM

I just ordered one. Can't wait.

Let me know if you need help removing the thing that holds the filter in. I had to macgyver something since I didn't have the right tool (if they even make it).

I pulled in it really hard and it popped out, I'm glad I didn't break it lol. The drain plug is so nice. Makes oil changes that much easier

I tried that too, my hands are too big to fit in there. If anyone's curious, I used some serrated needle nose pliers that gripped a large flathead screw. Then stuck it under the piece and pulled hard

Black gloss kidney grilles came in and I installed em. Now waiting on the matching side vent grilles.

These units can handle both systems, Android and Apple. I have a CarPlay system and I use a Samsung and an iPhone, works great

Finally pulled the trigger on some more mods. So far no complaints, changed spark plugs to play it safe. Also tried installing new carbon mirror caps from autotecknic to replace previous owners overlays but tabs broke first try

Photos to come.

A full makeover has been in the works.

Picking up the car on Monday.

A special shout out to Emran with Cartunes in Roswell and Ian with Solo Motorsports in John's Creek.

AnotherM · 06-24-2021, 04:21 PM

Changed her spark plugs for the first time today. OEM plugs and coils looked a little tired.
