I found this for the F30 retrofit, which should be substantially similar to the F12 retrofit. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1130598

You should email bimmertech at this point. I'm not sure if it's as simple as getting the 2 cameras and then the coding. You can at least go on realOEM and grab the p/n for the cameras and the housing, but I'm not sure if more ECU or idrive related parts would be needed. The F30 retrofit says it needs a special control unit. Maybe they'll help you with the P/Ns and you source the parts. Not sure what will be in it for them unless you pay them for the coding.
Really appreciate the help, Ace. Ill check out the other forums. Looking forward to have this done and hopefully do a write-up for the rest of the community.
