I fitted one, years ago now... they need to be trimmed at the front. They are not an exact fit as the X3 has more of alip on the front edge. I made it look pretty neat / OE

It looks about right but I'm wondering if it will fit properly. Can't find anyone on the internet that tried it before and it will be a bit tricky to get since I only see it for sale outside my own country.

What did you do to cover the hole that was left behind? Just install an entirely new dashboard?
Basically filled/smoothed with fibreglass/filler, before trimming over.

I have installed an android 10.25 Krando PX6 9.0 4+64G which was for BMW Z4 mod 2006 without screen with origin radio and cd player.You must cut dash but that is not very difficult. The screen has good fitment but takes a bit of the view. You get no help from the dealer, but it is easy to connect. There are some parts that does not work. It will not connect to idrive knob. It will not connect to car spesific (like speed, rpm and so)It will not connect to obd dongle. For the rest everything works very well. Navigation, movies, steering wheel knobs,back up camera, music streaming and so. It is possible that I can have done something wrong in the set up but there are nobody to answer such question. I will reckomand another unit. Krando say it is for Z4 E85 without screen. But in the setup meny this car isnot to find

Please please please remember that these screens are design for cars with CAN system, the Z4 E85/86 doesn't have CAN but I & K bus. Thus you lose many functions.

Yes, the unit is modular, but comes with both the screen, and the main unit which contains the amps, GPS, DAB unit etc.

A bit later than promised, but a very quick sneak peek of the new dash and navigation setup, using a Pioneer modular system. Lots of features, including the usual Android Auto and CarPlay connectivity, DAB, reverse camera hookup, Alexa integration and all sorts. Will post more pictures in their own thread once the interior is finalised as still a couple of last things to do before it's finished.

Hi! Nice setup!
Can you make a photo from the back of the display? How did you fit it? And how did you hide all those wires?
Thank you

I just installed one in my 03. You have to do some trimming and filing to make the profile fit the Z4 dash contour but if you take your time you can get it to fit nice.
