IDrive Upgrade..

Sean05 · 07-09-2012, 09:00 AM

Ok i am thinking of updating my 08 idrive... just the console and IDRIVE knob... I search and search and noticed that there are several part numbers for the newer idrive itself. can someone chime in on the actual PART #?

I noticed that some say the new one has more clicks and more stable?

I have an 08 and want to upgrade to a new one. I just need the part number.

you should upgrade to the f10 5series knob. that one is badass and more firm when clicking...same size too..i was thinking about doing that, if i ever had to replace mine.

Are you DCT or 6MT?

Has anyone tried to see if the F10 knob works in an 08 model? It should be the same as the F30 knob?

Bump

Need to know the part # for the 5 series IDRIVE i was at the dealer and it cost almost 250 more than the regular M3

I actually like the aluminum knob better since I have the aluminum trim. That being said if I were to upgrade the entire system to the '09+ version I would most definitely upgrade the knob as well.

Thanks. yes i have seen that and and have done the mods for others but everyone had bought the newer IDRIVE m3 09-13... but as far as for the 5 series not sure if anyone had done it with the 5 series IDRIVE. they have stated that its better. but just cant confirm. most likely i will just get the regular version instead of getting the one for the 5 series IDRIVE.. also they are almost 200 dollars difference. id stick with the 2013 m3 idrive since its in my budget.. LOL

From using both, I'm not sure why the 5 series knob is so much more expensive. The M3 one is fine, in my opinion.
