BMW Dealer parts section wants £197 for the 3 parts which isnt bad he discounted them.
however the service guys want 1 hour to fit, 1 hour for coding and 1/2 an hour extra for other bits. puts it over £500 still.

even told them it doesnt need coding but their instructions saysit does. might have to try and do this myself

Just two parts needed - stalk and small wiring loom. No need for new cowling. Should cost less than £100 from BMW. Also, no need for coding. Job will take you around an hour if you do it the first time, obviously less if you've done it before.

And people still go to stealers when their cars are out of warranty madness

Just fitted a stalk and modified the cowling to a pre-facelift model, unbelievably easy to do! Paid about £75 at the stealers.

Thanks for the how-to

Currently looking at a quote somewhere in the region of £380 to have it retrofitted to my facelift version. Was interested that they needed an hour and a half of labor to code it.

So to confirm it does not actually need coding into the car? If so may look into saving myself a large sum of money..

My 05 Pre facelift didn't require it, though retrofitting the wiring loom will easily eat that 1.5 hours

Yeah they have quoted if I remember correctly an hours labour to fit and then another hour and half to "code it into the car"

 

[DR-Z]

No coding needed. Took me less than an hour to do.

Cheers, shall look into doing it at home then and saving myself a few hundred..

Hi

Can anyone that's done this on a 2005 post 04 tell me how long it took ?

I'm a bit worried about cutting wires.

Has anyone got any photos as the BMW drawings are not too clear.

Thanks

I recall it taking me less than 2 hours. I didn't cut any wires, just removed some of the plastic if I recall correctly.

Try Sopers Lincoln by phone or Cotswold BMW via the BMW Land Site as both will be cheaper than £78 I'm sure.

You really don't need the cowling as modding your current one is dead easy.
