Updated ceramic controls

[Staszek]

Thanks to a few posts on this board with help I finally updated all the controls in the car to ceramic. Its a subtle change but I feel like it upgrades the interior, and I like the feel of the Drive knob much better.

Everything is plug and play, the only three call outs I would give if someone wanted to do this is:

1) Make sure you get the right iDrive controller, my car is a Facelift 2018 and the buttons are different then the older ones, I actually bought the wrong one and had to sell it for the one with the Media/Com/Map/Nav version.

2) The newer faceplate for the front climate control is a high gloss black, the older one is matte. You can reuse the existing faceplate there are a bunch of T6 screws on the back, you can just swap over the faceplate.

3) The version I bought already had the correct sync button for climate control but if it didn't you could swap the buttons over as well.

Small change but I love it!

Sorry they are dusty, I was at a shop the other day and they left the windows open so dust got in. I need to clean that this weekend.
