Retrofitting my F10 entertainment system, options?

Hello everyone,


I just joined the forums and I'm excited to learn from everyone's experience with their beemer.

So I've recently bought my first bmw, an F10 and I like everything about it except the entertainment screen so I'm looking into options to retrofit.
What I'm looking for is
* a slightly bigger screen that fits the space and looks like the oem one
* CarPlay
* No loss of sound quality
* easy to use interface/preservation of oem functions

I've spent countless hours looking into android head units on Ali express but I'm confused on which ones are good and won't compromise the sound quality.

I'd really appreciate your input guys.

Thanks

Most aftermarket ones are junk…just add CarPlay to existing

Just search for CIC or NBT CarPlay box, plenty of information. Fairly cheap and keeps existing unit.
