i just retrofitted the ATM on my 2016 X3 F25 about 3 weeks ago and so far it's working fine on the Connected drive.

Where did you order the ATM from?
Did your VIN have to be registered into some back end system?
Was it plug and play or did you have to do extra configs?

I am talking about retrofit to a car that already has connected drive services from factory but with 3G.

To answer your questions peoe....

I bought the ATM used from Poland via Allegro.pl (Making sure it's the same type like my TCB ECE)

My VIN originally had Connected drive but via TCB and NBT.

I had to remove the esim from TCB and transfer to the ATM. DayVG helped flash the ATM.

Yes my X3 came with Connected Drive services and with 3G if i am not wrong.

Thank you magpies14.

So there are 2 paths:
1- Get a used ATM and move over some components from the TCB. There is a thread "Embedded SIM swap from TCB to ATM" about it. This is the path magpies14 followed.
2- SIB 84 02 21

I am curious about 2) if anyone has done it.

Yes you are correct peoe ... and welcome !!!

As you all are aware, BMW is shitting down 3G network in NA so that means, if you had TCB vehicle (even though you retrofitted 4G ATM),  then you can no longer go to your portal and renew subscription to ConnectedDrive. And since you can renew the subscription, you can not get live traffic and weather/news apps to work.

Until this shutdown, I was able to renew my retrofitted 2014 X5 every year with no problem. But now, even though I have ATM, BMW servers think that I only have the 3G TCB and will not allow me to renew (Option is missing).

So question for you retrofitted guys, have you found a walk around for this?

Note: BMW changed how new ATM replacement works and now days, you can order ATM without VIN or anything. Just get the ATM ordered ($600), plug it it, code it and after reboot, IMEI and CCID will get transferred to BMW server and update the VIN-TO-IMEI link and everything works like it should. 

So, my idea is that you can order ATM (4G black box will work fine), plug it in your retrofitted vehicle, code it to your actual vin and after reboot, it all should propagate and now servers will know you have 4G modem and thus have options available to you to renew. That's just a theory and not tested by me. 

Has anyone purchased a brand new ATM module for retrofitted EVO recently to test this?

I DID, 
it works like it is factory fitted.

Did the same 3 weeks ago in Netherlands. TCB sim to ATM and ConnectedDrive works like from factory and is fast

If you swap 3G TCB SIM to ATM, you must code ATM for 3G or it is non functional. 
Btw. you don't speed up the connection.

Which is the working part number for ECE 4g atm? I`m about to ask local BMW dealer if he would order one for me. Im planning on EVO retrofit to my F11 LCI which has TCB

Didn't do that and it just worked with fast speed. Some need it, some don't. In my case it was F30, maybe F30 sim's can work on 4g? I don't understand because 3G is canceled in the Netherlands but connecteddrive was loading news very fast.. so it must be that it used 4g for this.. or not possible? I'm a bit confused on this one

Look in HU > ConnectedDrive > App Info.
This will show your real network connection.

But does the alignment work with a used one? or it must be new.
