The stock drive is 200GB so there's no real point to go much larger as I don't think it can make use of it anyway, but the drive I used was a 500GB Toshiba MQ01ABD050 (as mentioned it cost me £15 and was a used mid-2015 drive). It's a huge pain and quite a bit of effort but I got almost all the information I needed from here:
Even if I had done that, I would still have ended up with an HU with a 5-7 year old hard drive in it which I wouldn't be massively confident in anyway, so I thought it was worth a go. I did consider buying a replacement used NBT HU but for me that would've been around £200 and then another £30 or so on top to get navigation reactivated on the new HU. I managed to fix it and I took a gamble with a £15 hard drive from Ebay as I wasn't even sure if I would be able to get it working, but I did.
Kept rebooting, nav wouldn't loaded and a few other weird problems like not being able to eject the CD that was in the drive. I'd also recommend using the supplied GPS antenna from the get go also, I had nothing but aggro with the splitter feed from my 'shark fin'.it just seemed very temperamental.My wife's X3 with NBT had a faulty hard drive last week. Also if you want to hear the Android sat nav voices while using the CCC AM/FM then you'll need to fit the silly external speaker under the dash or something too. If you intend to use the bluetooth hands free you will need to install the external mic. It's important to keep in mind that a working CCC *is* needed for the system to work. they still work but you need to go back to the CCC system to set channels etc. The only thing that doesn't really integrate well is AM/FM radio. The CCC display just presents on the new screen, button and wheel work to navigate on both the CCC screens and the Android screens if you want to use that (touch screen is easier).
If you go down this route then make sure you get an Android 10+ unit with min 4GB RAM and an external microphone is recommended. There are many brands, they're all clones. I have an Avin USA 10.25" dash-top unit: and yes, for my E87.
