Yes, you can retrofit anything if you are willing to pay. To retrofit NBT, you would need to buy NBT Unit, install it, which I believe the Pinouts are different so a custom wiring harness will be needed if you don't want to splice wires, then buy and Import & Activate all new FSC Codes for Navigation App, Navigation Maps, Voice Recognition, BMW Apps, Sat Radio, Speed Limit Information, etc., and then Program the Head Unit, and load new Navigation Maps. Between the NBT Unit itself and FSC Codes, it would cost anywhere between $3k to $5k, plus installation and programming costs.

Once retrofitted though, the car cannot be dealer programmed with NBT installed, so the original CIC will need to replaced for any dealer ISTA work.
