1. Is it easier to just shange the entire harness than sourcing an adpter. I had also grabbed the harness as well from the donor.
2 I do want to maintain GPS functionality.

My first move was from CIC to NBT.. and if you have NBT already, then EVO is easier.
1 - Changing entire harness will be a major pain. Not easy, but really no need to go that far. You can add the wires and you can also buy the MQS contacts and even a Quadlock extension and switch over (After splicing in the NBT Emulator if you have not coded your evo/nbt)
2 - With NBT you can use the existing CIC GPS connection (blue fakra connection on the back of your CIC). But if you go EVO, you can either go for an EVO from a 2015/2016 235i OR even a Mini Cooper from the same years, they come with EVOs that have GPS built in. If neither of those then you need an ATM to replace your ComBox in the trunk and connect the GPS on the ATM there.
