My car has the Navigation with 7.2" screen but I wanted to upgrade the screen to the bigger 10.2" screen. Is it just a case of changing the screen as I have sat nav already fitted?

Many thanks!]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 23:10:46 +0000 http://forums.5series.net/topic/123443-f10-navigation-screen-to-102/ Gloss black vinyl wrap over chrome window trim - Silver F10 528i http://forums.5series.net/topic/123341-gloss-black-vinyl-wrap-over-chrome-window-trim-silver-f10-528i/

I missed a recent group buy for dvdinmotion.com software and realized many people have missed it too. I was wondering if anyone here or anyone you know would be interested?
I have contacted Lucie from dvdinmotion.com and she is willing to allow a second group buy for the same rate: For the $110 price we need 50+ members. She will also include the legal disclaimer removal software for free to this group buy.

She did mention that most buyers from the previous buy were 5 series F10/F11 owners and other BMW owners missed it (http://dvdinmotion.com/supported-cars).

The threads I found have good info:

For those of you that have perhaps driven a 5-series with standard rear wheel drive and a 5-series xi model, was the xi a significant benefit, and in what driving conditions? I am in the mid-Atlantic U.S. with a few snow days per year. If the driving experience, especially from a safety perspective is really clear then maybe it's worth it for my next 5.

Your experiences?

I've done a search and the only threads with Vossen wheels are form Vossen....and I've already spoken to them and they weren't very helpful. The most they could tell me was that they're not too sure what works best....if anything maybe Nitto? Kind of vague considering they have many posts here with CV3's setup on cars with tires.

The CV3 is a 20" rim and only come in 20x9 and 20x10.5....so if you have these rims, please let me know what tire brand / size you're running.

My current setup is with Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 245/35-20 and 285/30-20 and I'm getting more stretch than I'd like so I'm looking for possible alternatives that will have a nice fit with no stretch.

I've already bought a set of Michelin for $1400 and made somewhat of a mistake....so any help would be appreciated before I go spend money on another set of tires and get the same result!

I know run-flats are delivered and that to revert to standard tires would be expensive, so my question is - does anyone reading this post have experience with an F10 or prior model with and without RFT's? My guess is the soft ride people complain about on the F10 is in direct response to BMW trying to engineer the harshness out of run flats... if so, what is the ride experience like with standard treads?

Although I am somewhat concerned about replacement cost for run flats ($400+ USD each), my main questions is, will the ride performance improve actually, or is the softer ride and distant-feel in the steering wheel built in to the platform now and the rubber side walls won't make a big difference.

Thanks for your comments and experiences.

The program works and I've been successful in coding auto fold mirrors, trunk close from inside button and key fob, and auto close of windows and sunroof with key fob. You can also unlock DVD in motion and turn off many of the notifications (i.e seat belt chime etc.)

You'll need to build an interface cable (OBD to ethernet), or buy one on eBay when they become available. Overall better than paying someone to code your vehicle. Read the .nfo for more information.

The 535 dA has made 14.444 kms since 7.7.2011. Average fuel consumption 7,3 l/100km. No faults, just pure joy of driving. Today I made a couple of iPhone pictures after Swissvax detailing. 3 step detailing: first paint rubber claying, then polishing with Cleaner Fluid Professional and finally Sealing with Concorso wax. Now the Carbon Black Beast looks about like what I want it to be

I am an E60 owner (2006 with 162,000 miles) and looking at the 2013 model year for an F10. What are the features that you are really glad that you got with your F10, or the ones that you WISH you had gotten?
