M5 i-Drive button on e92
I just managed to get the beautiful aluminium (made by Bang&Olufsen) M5 i-Drive button to fit in my e92 330xi. It looks fabulous!
It was a bit of a pain to make it though. Inside the "old" button (which is made out of plastic) there is a metal part that has to be taken out of the plastic part. I spent maybe one hour doing it, using screwwdrivers to push the plastic from the metal. When I got the metal part separated I just used superglue to fix the metal part inside the new M5 button. It fits nicely inside and just needed some glue. Then I popped the button back onto the i-Drive base. Looks beautiful against the brushed aluminium interior. Tools needed: Two midsize screwdrivers. Cost: $50 for the M5 button. Best Claus

Don't know about the e90, but the e92 is plastic. Even though it looks and feels like metal. I think it's the same with e92, even though it has a different design. Even the 5 series is plastic, but the M5 is aluminium all the way.

I am in the US and I have voice and menu buttons on my E92 335i. Is this rare? Is my car one of those that slipped through? I though that all e92's with i-drive up until recently had both buttons. I just noticed it recently that the newer e92's (with the 6 programable buttons) only have a menu button. My car was completed on 9/8/2006
