I believe blacknight530i on the E39 forums has it and he worked pretty hard with germaniks to solve the bugs in it, and it works pretty well last time I heard.

While waiting for parts…..I’ve started working on the screen.

Pretty much straightforward on disassembly and trimming it to fit onto the existing Boardmonitor location.


Rear



Disassembly





I’ve wrapped the screen with foam and plastic wrap from getting scratches and dirt.




Had to dremel mounting tabs to fit opening.





Test fitting....

Good to hear that someone else is doing this NBT retrofit on an E53!
