I want to enter the retrofit world

Hi all,

I've bought just a second hand BMW X1 (e84), 20d xdrive, 12.2012 and it has only back sensors and sometimes its difficult to park because i feel that car is big for me (never drove that kind of car before)

Well I've asked BMW Switzerland in order to add front sensors and rear camera and they gave me an offer which is around 5000 chf (around 5000 dollar). I could buy actually newer car if i knew that it is so expensive like that. Half of the price is for working cost.

(If somebody want to see the offer I can add it here)

Well I am not sure that I can do this by myself because I do not have so much experience with car. I am actually a software engineer.

But I have time to do that step by step

i can find the controllers/devices and sensors on ebay and I think it will be cheaper and I will do rest myself..


Is there anyone who can guide me? I think for e84 retrofitting is not so popular..

Or should I give up and sell my car and buy a new which offers that kind of things..


Thank you
