What are the details behind getting it activated? i.e. were parts needed?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's just as simple as ordering it up on the iDrive.

Not if you car doesn’t have CarPlay prep!

Had to be coded & New FSC pack installed - also WiFi antenna is needed.

NBT Evo with iD5/6 only and WiFi antenna needs to be installed.

Yes, as long as you have pro navigation or a combox fitted.

To answer this point specifically - you only need 1 physical "part" and that is the wifi antenna. It is only needed if your car did not leave the factory with EBT.

Pretty simple to install too - I can perhaps take pictures to document if needed.

As per the other comments on the thread, CarPlay only works on NBT EVO with ID5 or ID6.

The rest is just FSC codes!

Update time.

Car will be going for a full GTechniq detail soon - 2 stage machine polish and the Crystal Serum Ultra Black package.

In the mean time I have now bought some wheels for the build - OEM F80 437m.

Intially I am going to try them on with the OEM tyre sizes (255/35 front and 275/35 rear) but my car also will be getting lowered soon on the H&R springs that I bought, so at that point I will have to change the tyres as they will will no doubt rub once lowered!

Once the springs are on I'll probably go for either 225/40 front and 255/35 rear OR 235/40 front and 265/35 rear.

I've ordered 5 wheels from Ledermanz, this guy is legit. His work is A++++++ Highly recommended.
Does he have a site or something??

Nice!!

Can't wait to pick up an F31 to do the M3 conversion.

Your modding is making me itching for another wagon!

you need 6NW or the wifi hotspot preparation, can't remember the code for that off the top of my head.

Either of those will mean the antenna is factory fitted.

Another quick update.

Opted for 4 new tyres on the 437m’s. Went with 245/35 & 265/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports, also needed new valve stems after the previous owner of the wheels had been using metal valve caps on metal valve stems!

Wheels & tyres will be going on the car on Tuesday - can’t wait!

Got my 437m's on this morning.

Awful pictures as they were taken just as it was about to start snowing & the car is filthy!







The fronts do poke slightly so its going to need the H&R springs I have sat here on ASAP and maybe some increased camber to tuck them.

No rubbing with this wheel & tyre combo though, so thats good news!

Had a photoshop done to see the 437's in all black - have to say I am liking the look!

Thoughts?



Also had a little tweak done to show some lowering:

Garage List
I've had black wheels for two vehicles I've owned and I'd advise against painting those 437 wheels in matte black. You lose too much of the character/shape of the wheel because of the dark colour.

I'd recommend a gun metal colour at most if you want something dark - I'm definitely not going to go for black wheels in the future.

Build update:

H&R's now fitted - no rubbing with the OEM 437m and 245/35 and 265/35 MPSS which if i'm honest I was secretly worried about! The lowering has also helped to tuck the front wheels into the arches nicely and the wheels are a perfect fit IMO - a really aggressive stance.

Also had the alignment done as it was way out following the fitting of the springs.

Also finally got my plate on today after 6 months of owning the car.... just one of those jobs I’ve never got round to sorting.
