that is where i saw it and made me wonder if it can be done. I thought I would bring up the question in here. instead of him just trying to sell me one first. has anyone done this swap yet??

We were thinking about putting the Digital version in our 94 325iC.. You have to change EVERYTHING said BMW.. its not worth it they said!

i think the digital climate controls are inferrior to the dial type. for so many reasons. one the dials look way better, its annoying to go from off to on, (long story but my buddy who owns a 98' 328 hates his digital)

On the topic of climate controls, how do you know when they give out? On my 1995 325is there is no AC at all. The unit under the hood turns on, but no cold air comes out. could it be the climate control??? Thanx for any input.
