M340i CD Player/Hard Drive?
My M340i is en route to California, set to hit the port on 5/15. I have a question for people that have already taken delivery (or who might otherwise be in the know) about the car's audio components. I ordered the HK sound system upgrade, FYI.
I didn't even think about this when building the car online, but from what I've read here and there, it seems the car does not come standard with a CD player. I know CD's are now ancient tech, but I've still got a ton, and also a built-in hard drive on my current 2016 328i loaded with music ripped from CD. Does the M340i come with a hard drive? For the CD player, is that a port installed option or something the dealer can do? And for anybody that might have had this done, how does it affect the appearance of the car's interior, if at all? |

It does not have a CD drive. And from the looks of it, the car doesnt seem like it was designed with a CD player in mind, so I really doubt there is the option at all. It does have a hard drive though, but I'm not sure what the capacity is.

CD Player or DVD Player?
I would hope that the retrofit includes a DVD player. Does anyone know if this is really just a CD player? My E90 had a DVD player in the car.

Any more information on the availability of a BMW OEM CD player option? Does the retrofit kit above actually work?

However, your vehicle needs an existing option to be present for the install The preparation of the wiring harness is controlled using the optional equipment SA65A (preparation of an external CD drive). Option code: SA65A or 065A. See if you have this option code before you consider the retrofit. |

So I confirmed availability & compatibility with my dealer and the price I was quoted is $340 for the CD-player & $300 labor for installation. Pricey but understandable, so I'm in.

I believe the CD player gets installed in the glove box rather than modifying the center stack.

I had the installation and it's been excellent! The CD Player mounts in the glove compartment. The only downside is that the car user manual binder no longer fits in there too, but it fits easily enough in the passenger door pocket.
