The large 10.25” touch screen is, in my opinion, user friendly, looks and feel a lot better. It gives the dash board a newer look more in line with the later models BMW. You will still be able to use the old functions - look and feel - if you want to.

Replacement of the rear view camera is a must to complete the install. Camera replacement is straight forward but routing the cable take a bit of time. Let me know if you want some advice.

Have the Avin unit for almost 3 years now (i think). Works well, no issues for now. Very easy install...

Yeah, I don't like the screen sticking up from the dash either. I don't really want a touchscreen as the iDrive is the way to go for me.

There is a member named Dennis Cooper on M5board who knows a lot about these types of units.

Hey everyone, sorry to revive and old post, but since it's a couple of years later now plus the market is saturated with these screens plus price drops, which is now current favorite + reliable + affordable + less glitches at the moment?
