There's a lot of confusing information out there. From what I gather, the price varies depending on what you do. You definitely need a new head unit, but you can reuse the existing screen or get a newer one. The same applies for the idrive controller. So I think head unit alone would be around $1500 and full swap closer to $2500. I have also heard people saying "this place sucks", "no, that place doesn't sell you US-specific parts", etc, etc.

Going in for service on Nov 5th and expecting the retrofit to be extremely pricey as I believe it requires a full swap of the head unit, not just a software flash.
