Is there a way to install GPS system to PI's iDrive?

[BC2710]

Been thinking of a 4 door 3 series and since PML hasn't got stock that I like, I am thinking of a PI car.

However, I am put off by the Navigation system not working with iDrive system and the stupid dual reading speedometer dial in Miles and Kilometres.

Anyone know where I can get the Navigation software to work locally and anyone know where to change the speedometer dial? Seems like a tall order for the PI to do it.

Thanks!

have enquired about the nabigation with a reputable workshop here b4, even they said is not possible without a software that us loaded in via a CD that supposedly PML has.

speedometer also quite difficult to change. fellow bro here told me need programing.

Damn. I guess have to stick to PML.

do those features justifying paying 30k+ more from PML? PML is more for peace of mind.

Are you saying the iDrive of those "Used Imported" 335s do not work locally? Maybe the version2 iDrives but the generation 1 with dvd should be fine right?...just get a dvd map from someone will do i suppose?

as for miles vs km...you can live with that I m sure...well travelling 60m/h is only almost 100km/h...anyways 335 is not meant to be driven slow.

Yeah. And when you're not used to the clutter, I'll tend to be traveling at 90m/hr instead of 90km/hr = Kantong.

Screw it liao. Bought PML car. For a 3 series sedan, not much diff in price. PI saves you money on exotic coupes and Ms I guess.
