Will this work in my 93 325i as plug and play? or will I have to install other components?

I believe so.

Check out bimmerforums.com and ask specifically in that forum.

With my knowledge from e46's, it should :)

That is a steal. But its honestly worthless because you have a manual setting to seat hot and cold so the digital stuff just makes the dash look much less dated.

If I could easily convert my digital climate control to analog, I would.

You actually have to change out the heater core and some vents behind the dash so you have to take out the whole dash to do that......

They said its a 1 and 1/2 days work!!!! :banghead:

Forget it!!

From my past experience with SAABs there are upgrades that can only be reasonbly made by selling the old car and getting the new one with the mod already installed. :D :D

1 1/2 days work to upgrade climate control? Thats not too bad, my heater core alone is an 8 hour job, record time so far is 6 hours, so for me, 20 hours sounds about right :)

Not to mention while your in there, new parts go in as well therefor less you will have to fix later.

I was thinking that too, but what else would need to be replaced behind the dash?
