I don't think the steering wheel controls will be able to be used with the alpine.

This vehicle needs the vwa antenna adapter, the Scosche BW2320B kit, and a harness like this one. I don't know the corresponding metra and bestkits part numbers but I'm sure both of those companies make similar items as well.

I just did a lil more research and according to their updated installation manual for the SWI-X, BMWs that have either a "factory-activated cellular phone" or a "5-volt SWC data wire at the steering column" are not compatible with the SWI-X. All of the rest of the vehicles will work though apparently.

As for when I said "with the alpine" I really should have just left that part off because now that I'm reading it a 2nd time I see how it looks confusing. The alpine head unit will have no problems working with the SWI-X, and it seems as though most likely your vehicle will work fine with the SWI-X as well.
