-Where will my buttons go to activate/ control ACC because I want to keep my red M1 & M2 buttons?
-Does installing this and getting it to work void my idrive / electronics warranty if something breaks unrelated?
-Will I need new “DSC premium” + “ICM” modules according to my vehicles equipment from factory or do I have full compatibility without new modules?
-Will I need a new intercooler??? Haha
-Is this plug and play mainly or do I need to mount/ drill in things into new locations, if so where and how many?
-Also is there a “F15/F16 ACC retrofit kit” somewhere I could purchase every part I would need in one complete kit or do I need to find each and every individual part / does anyone have a list of all the part numbers of parts I would need for F85/F86 scenario.
Thanks!
Convinced ///M engineers 24 hours before start of production of the F85/F86 where like haha you want Mpower??? No problem but deep tissue massages and front bumpers are A La Carte... LOL

I'm doing an F86 right now. My DSC didn't match up. You can pop your hood and look at if. If it doesn't have the words "ACC" on it, you'll need a new one. I haven't popped out the ICM yet. I ordered another one. Going to take it apart just one time. If mine is a 5.7, I can sell the one I bought (if you can wait till all my parts get here (2 weeks from now).
I haven't figured out if it's possible to keep the M buttons, granted I haven't looked. I ordered the acc and tja buttons. My understanding, you lose the m buttons.
Don't know about things breaking. Also wondering the same about the intercooler. Considering how much you need your M buttons, you might need it before I do, but still. Also, you'll probably void the warranty of the main harness since you have to tap into it. But then again, the s can bus only goes to the three parts but then indirectly, I think Kafas goes to the buttons by the shifter, etc. Soo...modify at your own risk?
Also, couldn't find a retrofit kit. Heck, I can't even find the correct grill with the little plastic piece in the center. I ordered one, and it was like half the size |
Wow...
This seems like a lot of work for such a simple option a base X5 20 diesel in Europe could come with...
Honestly if I have to remove my M buttons... I don't even want ACC anymore.
Couldn't I fabricate the little buttons into the dash somewhere next to the light switch perhaps where night vision button would go + wire it up into tricking the modules it's on the wheel? This is my main concern because Sport+ open valves do donuts mode is only one button away and I don't want to loose that especially since I bought red ones :|
My car beeps at me all day long in stop and go traffic when I punch it and approach the next car never actually been close enough to stop for me but I'm hoping it should granted it really needs too LOL. I'm just so lazy on the freeway with all these stupid drivers taking up the fast lane I want my car to keep distance from them for me otherwise it turns into everyone get out of my way which isn't good for my driving record + wallet HAHA. Hence I could avoid these habits with ACC turned on (most of the time)
.
Do you think it's possible to just take my car to a dealership and ask them to install for me? Assuming they don't ask for a crazy number like 5k and more like $1500-$2800?
