I think this is frankiebones old car.

The only issue on the carfax was due to a no fault accident. I was driving on the highway and road debris split the front bumper and banged up the oil cooler when I was doing 75 mph. The car was still driveable and I didn't bring it in for 3 days due to a crazy schedule.

This car was tracked but not excessively. I babied the car but I do drive hard.

Nice to buy a car that was owned by an enthusiast. Even though your CS was tracked and driven hard, im sure you warmed up your engine properly prior to giving the beans and maintained it impeccably!

A real bummer CS' can't have comfort access or at 66K I'd be all over it.

It should be able to be converted somewhat easily since they have the start button and therefore the interior antenna for comfort access (perhaps the module that controls it all is the same, not sure, but wouldn't doubt it). In the E9x section of the board people have done the full CA conversion. In the case of the CS one would think that it will be much simpler...couple of the plastic covered antennas, door handles, coding and ?

Anyone know of any LRG 3CS' coming up for sale in the near term?

Id be really interested in doing this, my only main gripe about my CS.

Not one person in our CS group has done it. It does suck not having it after you're used to it. Lack of center console also sucks.

Here's the complete retrofit thread for an E9x. Someone needs to determine what is and isn't there in the F8x CS; since they are in effect already Comfort Access capable (i.e. the key plus the inside car reception/recognition of key), the conversion to CA door handles plus making it work is likely less than 1/2 the task of a full non-CA car as in the thread.

It is so bizarre that BMW took off the door handle sensing part of CA while leaving the rest intact. The weight savings is zero for the door handles and maybe a few ounces for the two or three more plastic antennas -- most likely one would assume that the CA module is the same as the non-CS F80, but I have no idea.

I think you are correct, there's a CS group on Facebook that many of us have talked about wanting to do it.. but no one has yet.

In theory it would be just the door handles, and antennas correct?

Not sure. They're going to throw me out of the group when they realize I sold my CS! lol

Comfort Access is the feature I miss most on my CS, even more than the armrest!

A retrofit is possible, they sell a kit for it. But I heard its a PITA to run the wires and get it to work factory like. Someone did the retrofit but it wasn't on CS, iirc it was on a F80 without CA optioned.

No exec package on that LRG?

I don’t believe so. It’s missing the PDC button which is part of the Exec package.

No HUD is a deal breaker for me as well!

Agree on headlights but I like the non-exec option; not for everyone so it is rare - only 34 of 607 in US.

This car came from a good home and fellow forum member. See below.

If in the market for a LRG this would be a good one. Target a $75k purchase offer. Tell the dealer how terrible it is that it's a non-exec and negotiate hard.
