Mike, I've bought 3 things for my X5 from German Ebay
-Titan Silver Trim set
-Fully reupholstered sport steering wheel
-European light switch (so I could have factory rear fogs)
I've noticed if i have questions about the item I usually just type a message to the seller (asking about shipping cost to USA mostly), and then copy/paste the same message into Google Translate and copy/paste the German translation below my English typed question. Figure that most of them do speak some English but it is just courteous to try to translate into their own language, even if its not the best translation.
I use keyword "e53" on anything x5 related, and then translate the keyword on google translate.
For example when I wanted the euro light switch i found out that a light switch was "lichtshalter" so I searched "E53 Lichtshalter" and I found several results.
Hope that helps.
