What have you done to your E89 today

Bought a new (use) idrive controller know of ebay for just £23 !

My 'knob' is wearing out..the paint coating is showing the white plastic underneath due to excessive use..

I toggle the MMI Carplay and iDrive satnav back and forth all the time plus lots of music selections and carplay use..

Finally earlier i drive knobs had 'CD' in the top left..decided that the later 'Media' label more appropriate..

It’s the little things in life..hope it works OK..says its made March 2017!View attachment 293565View attachment 293566

I was under the impression E89s had a slightly different and uniquely shaped idrive controller. Doesn’t that part number correlate to an F30?
 
I have garage envy too. I can only do under bonnet work or park in mine. I need to buy a large garage that comes with a small house!🤣

That's a good question 🤔
At some point, I think I'll move the subs from the footwells into the oem positions behind the seats and refit the mids back into the footwells.........at some point 😊
It does sound good as it is, though.

Without waffling on Andy it's great to see the car being appreciated and loved as much as I did, fantastic to see all the modifications and improvements 10/10 .... hope the Porsche isn't jealous :rofl:

Sadly looks like you’re correct and even I posted a while back that fact….ah well…if it’s too good to be true…I’ll look at it over the winter and see if I can swap the bases over..🙏🏻

Decided to drop the wing and all. Got a good deal on a VIS carbon boot
