So you wouldn't have NAV but all of the other functions would still work as it cycles through modes and other info. Pretty cool function honestly.

Bimmertech has already let me know I'm compatible. Will I be able to get an M performance logo instead of the 5 series diesel? Is remote coding included in that price?

According to their website and promo video, yes remote coding to make it all work is included. The 5 diesel was just that video.. I assume, (though will check) my car has already been flipped to M Performance, so assume it will show the same on the display.

Can I count you in? We have 5 firm, 2 already paid.. we are close and really on a time table to get the discounted price.

Im coming from the standard / analog cluster so I don't have any performance logo, only the "BMW". I think this is a no brainer upgrade if you have the standard / analog cluster. Count me in on this group buy contingent on included coding session.

I will add you to the list, but you will need to contact Bimmer-tech and give them your VIN. You can also PM the contact on this thread.

PM'ing bimmertech VIN. I have HUD, So I'm understanding nav directions won't show on HUD but will show in middle part of cluster. However, speed, radio, cruise, mode etc will still show on HUD.

Also i have the standard BMW logo on turn on, is it the same process FDL coding to change the logos if wanting later?

You paid already and got discounted price?

I thought we had to wait till 10 confirmed buyers for the GB price
Correct and just to reconfirm, if we don't get all people needed for the group buy, we all pay 5% more so anyone that wants one, come and get yours while you can!

Nelson-

After viewing the video in Post #25 I have couple questions:

My car is 2015 - in the past, I have tried to code the //M Performance logo to my factory cluster, but it will only show //M550D when the //M logo is chosen. This is apparently a known 'bug' in the iStep version of software that is currently installed in my car, & to show correctly I would need to update my iStep version.

I have been told this either needs to be done thru the dealer (don't want to do that), or a special setup for remote coding involving my coding cable being plugged directly into my router (which would be difficult but not impossible)

In that video, his cluster shows //M550D & he explains that to display correctly he needs still another update of some type

Is the update he is referring to one that can be done thru Bimmertech & involves only gage cluster coding, or would I still need to update iStep version?

If thru Bimmertech cluster coding that's fine, but I really don't want to get involved with updating iStep, & I don't want the //M550D logo showing up in my new 6WB cluster - so is there a normal 'BMW' logo that can be shown on my cluster?

And finally, I have quite a bit of options coded in my car using both Carly & Esys (main ones thru Esys are for LCI Tail retrofit, AHL2, LCI HVAC retrofit, & Enhanced Bluetooth/ rest are the normal niceties thru Carly)

Is the Bimmertech coding going to wipe out ANY of the coding as described above that is currently done? The Carly stuff is not a big deal to redo, but the Esys stuff was done remotely by Alex @ Alpine & I don't want to have to pay again to have it redone...

TIA
Jay

Jay, i can answer the last question. I read on another thread that after bimmertech had their remote coding session, all things coded previously had stayed. I will keep browsing to see if i find any other experiences.

although I cannot answer your questions directly I do know that you can remove that logo easily. Refer to this thread for more information along with tons of pics

3 and 4 series LCI digital dash (pages 11-12 show good pics) http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1346650

So to confirm the process..

If you want to do this deal:

1. Contact BimmerTech ASAP and provide your VIN. This can be done through PM to Nelson, through their website, chat app, etc. This will make sure your car is compatible for this display.
2. Please confirm here you want to do this and I will add your name to the list if I haven't already.
3. BIMMERTECH (not us, me, the forum, whatever) will invoice you.. please pay it. They wont do the deal or SHIP until there are 10 of us total PAID.

We have a small window of time to do this.. talking with Nelson, he had to argue FOR US for a 10% discount at all, as the prices are going up in two weeks or less. He doesn't know by how much yet, but that they are absolutely going up.

Is it a lot of money? YES.. (should I spend this amount of money? Probably not but the hell with it.. pre-spending some of my tax return) If this is something you have wanted to do, NOW is the time to get it with a discount and before prices go up.

jdr78569 Are you in? You would be our 7th.
