you need 2 parts. 1 a new iDrive and 2 a new center console that will fit the new iDrive. Everything is plug 'n play.

The question is what year your car is.
If we are talking about the latest CIC navigation Technic knows best
As for the CCC navigation it's much easier, but still I wouldn't call it PnP.
