NBT EVO retrofit from Bimmer Tech

Recently did an NBT EVO retrofit from Bimmer Tech. I have a 13 550i with NBT. Very satisfied how it turned out. Everything works well with the specs of my car. Carplay was a plus for me even at full screen. Shot out to Nelson@BimmerTech

Do you think it's worth the $2700 price tag??

Looks great! Is it also a touchscreen? or everything is still controlled through the iDrive controller?

Were you able to make ConnectedDrive work? Integration with RTTi and online services is one of the things that's holding me back.

I see. Thanks for the update. So when you run carplay, you end up using Google Maps? I'm trying to decide if that's the case I might be better off just retrofitting carplay, since I don't care as much about the touchscreen.

Go to the G30 forums and see what they think of Carplay. In short, mostly they're not impressed and wouldn't purchase the option again.

Very cool, I'm considering this for my 2013 M5.

On the initial install before adding the G30 screen did you reuse your existing screen and controller?

How much did the G30 screen run you?

Did you DIY the install or get it done? I'm curious how tricky and time consuming it is
