NBT/CIC/CCC retrofit in E39/E38/E53

[Commanderwiggin]

Would anyone be interested in my NBT HeadUnit I got from Mick? I'm considering getting the NBT EVO unit from him and would pull the trigger if I had someone wanting my setup. Mick I'm sure can easily supply all the rest of the parts but this might be easier for someone local. I'll be retaining harness/display/etc... Located in Orange County...send me a PM if you're interested and we can talk price.

Hi guys, I have a whole bunch of e38, e39 and e46 screen bezels in the making
If you want one let me know, as they are nearly finished they will ship within a few days only.
215 USD shipped WW

E38/E39 bezels are for use with the 10.25" F11/F06/F01 screens as they have the screw holes and plastic retaining clips.
I use the actual e38 bezels for both applications, e39 and e38. Fits the e39 just fine. The flat part being at the bottom.

E46 bezels are for use with the 8.8" F30/F25 screens



Final results

They look great

[johnate]

Those looks great mick. Can you show us how it looks in an e39? As I remember the e38 and e39 widescreen monitor bezel are quite different on the surface, not sure how would it fit in an e39

It fits just fine, see. Unpainted though, just put this in to show you (and others)
There is not gap between the actual screen and bezel too like some you may have seen elsewhere show.

There's a difference in the F10 and F11/F06/F01 screens? I know for the F10, I had to shave quite a bit off the screen itself.

Yes all the same.
You don't actual shave anything off the screen itself, but you do on the back cover.

Just got my centre console back from the water transfer printing shop.

Quite a close match with my Birch Anthracite trim sample that I sent him. I'm satisfied with the finish.

Now gotta scrape up money to get the NBT set!

[Akash3230]

Wow it came out great. Did you do the filler work yourself? How much was it to get it dipped.

I glued it all together with a two part steel epoxy and filled the gaps with the same epoxy. Then sanded it down myself.

Costs me MYR150 to get it dipped. About $34.

[Akash3230]

Cant wait to see it installed. You did a great job.

Nicely done. Only problem is that the NBT Touch controller does not fit this. You will have to cut most of the plastic out.
What you have done is only good for cic controller, not nbt. Nbt controller is bigger.

[johnate]

Yes you told me before. My intention is to use the top cutout only as I quite liked how it has a small recess around the controller. I'll cut out the bottom plastic when i get the nbt controller later.

Love the hydro dipping results. I got all excited planning to have my trim sent to have it done as well until I saw your location is Malaysia

Should be a good few who can do that in the US surely.

Hi B,

There's many places in the USA who'll do this for you, I watched a demo at SEMA 2009 for it and there were quite a few exhibitors nearby offering services in the domestic US market. A quick search will find you specialists, I just quickly found this one - http://hgarts.com/

Johnate - the result there looks very good indeed! I'll be sending out some of the various vavona sets I have lying around to some UK specialists soon !

Cheers, Dennis!

[RVAE34]

I have called a few. They all need a sample which I don't have. No one I called seems to have the wood in their database. I don't need to match birch anthracite either. I want the whole set done in a blackwood with clear coat.

[johnate]

Buttons fittings test. Its a shame I dont have the nbt controller yet, would've put it in my car tonight!
