Eaaaassy, Big fella.
It's confusing and you're upset. That's not anyone's fault on here. I've done the same work you have- and found the same frustration. In the end, as much as you might not like it, I have to agree with Jay:
They're expensive. If you want L/R servo's and adaptive lights in clear from Hella, you're going to pay $$. You can think it's not worth it all you want, but guess what? That's what they cost.
Whatever you do, I'd suggest taking a nice long read when it's time to replace the single-use bolts for the X5's structural plate. They're $16 ea. It's not the same parts of course, but it's the same ole high-end car issue: Parts are expensive.
And of course, this bit of advice in the link below has absolutely nothing to do with you. How could it? It's over 2 yrs old. But it may just help you move forward to embrace the affair you're having with an E53. After 16 years and over 300k miles with the ones in our family, many of us found that you love it or leave it. You're early in the decision to stay or go, but they are the same for you as they are for everyone:
The choice is yours and yours alone.
My Open rant to (some) used BMW owners
Now, speaking of my own affair.. I'm off to install new door speakers and a NIB BSW sub. Because it's been awhile since I've peeled off the door panels and I want a peek.
