a. Remove the part number sticker from the bottom of the knob.
b. Undo the five clips (1) at the bottom side to remove the bottom bracket. c. Use a narrow plier to remove the rubber cap (2) to expose the torx screw (3) holding the iDrive knob. d. DO NOT mess with the four torx screws (marked in green X) as it will ruin the spacing between the magnets that control the movements of the iDrive knob. e. Undo four torx screws (4) holding the iDrive buttons panel. f. Use a flat head screw driver to lift the ribbon cable holder (5) to remove one end of the ribbon cable. g. Remove the torx screw (3) holding the iDrive knob. Lift the iDrive knob from the top. h. Undo tab (6) from both sides to release the iDrive button panel. Now you are free to swap the switches and knobs between different EVO iDrive knobs. Assemble in reverse order. Make sure the ribbon cable attached to the iDrive knob is channel through the slot (7) to the bottom of the assembly before putting the knob back in position. |

PSA to folks, best to hold onto your old controller. I had my car at the dealer recently to get a computer issue fixed. They tried to update my software but the system wouldn't allow them to because it considered the ceramic iDrive controller "incompatible". Not a huge deal, I just need to swap the old one back on and take it back. But I'm glad I didn't sell the stock controller like I was thinking to.

Essentially, any ECU that is foreign to your model or INTRODUCED after your date of production will cause an error on ISTA. That will cause an issue with the car istep being updated via this method. |

Also why I'm waiting to install the LCI climate control unit till I get the software issue fixed, but my ceramic controller completely skipped my mind. Of course the dealer was happy to offer to re-install one - retail cost! He also asided he didn't understand why I'd want to replace my original with the ceramic. To each their own I suppose, I still love it every time I see it against the CF trim. |

My new car (2021 g30 lci) production date is 07/2020 and i got a ceramic idrive for retrofit which produced in 05/2017 from a 2017 g11 So, may i have any problem on dealer while service software upgrading ? I changed and it worked like a charm but worry about dealer / warranty right now. |

FYI: I mated my stock F80 iDrive unit with the ceramic control surface because of some resistance/binding issues with the ceramic unit during certain menu operations. My controller did NOT look anything like the one above. Here is a link to how to disassemble ours which is the same unit found on the i3

In case anyone is interested, I'm parting out items from my M4 and selling my ceramic iDrive controller in the forum classifieds.

I have the same mount. Expensive but so worth it.
What 90* cable is that, and where did you plug in for power? Not a fan of my current route for the cable...
