335 iDrive

[Georgenberg]

Hiya!

So I'm looking at making the jump from my worn out 316 to a cheeky 335i however I've been reading that the slightly older versions have a pretty naff iDrive. At what point did these get refreshed to the CIC and how can I easily spot this? Is it possible to upgrade this and does anyone know anywhere I can get this done? I could do this myself but there's a good chance I'd break something and be massively sad face

On a separate note I'd be interested in getting it tuned/remapped so does anyone have any good suggestions for somewhere around London that's reliable?

Thanks!

Mark

Ah excellent. I'll take a look. From what I read the main gripe was to do with speed as it's DVD based vs HDD? I'm also reading a lot about 'coding' but don't quite understand what this gives/achieves?

[Georgenberg]

Ah right ok I got you now and understand all this coding malarky.

Does anyone happen to know where I can find a list of options for the 335i? Seeing a lot of traders with various 'pack' or options included but not sure what the full range is that's on offer, or what that actually entails!

Thanks!

Ah perfect I'll see if I can get the VIN numbers!

Cheers

Ah that's not too bad. I'll give the inbuilt one a go and if needs be shell out some coin to get it upgraded.

thanks guys!
