With the last posting, there goes my change date theory. Maybe some had what ever was laying around at the time of build or each assembly line had different suppliers? It would be interesting to hear of other later production models had either plate at the same time.

My X5 4.8is Build date: 6/2005----Black steel
I guess you should be thankful you don't have this flimsy, tin foil aluminum plate like some of this have. You know, the one with no strength.

I suppose you could always retrofit one off a junkyard X5, but I'm guessing the 4.8iS has the steel plate for a reason. Man, that must be a PITA to put back on after taking it off. How much does it weigh?
