OK so this, like a lot of things BMW, isn't straightforward.
You can go for any E9x, E8x, E7x or E6x controller as long as it's from a CIC system.
Now some come with a CD button (top left) and some come with a MEDIA button. The MEDIA version is for a car with a combox. Now it doesn't matter as they both do exactly the same job.
Originally I bought one with the CD button and it was from an E60 with part number 9213309 and it worked perfectly fine, but then I wanted the proper one so it looked correct so bought one from an E90 with part number 9285445. There are a lot of part numbers over the years but those are the ones I used, purely because they were good prices at the time and in good condition.
Now as for the big knob, that's aftermarket, no E series CIC came with a big knob from the factory, I bought mine from ebay.
