BMW usually changes the the software every year or so.. the new V27 is coming out real soon so it should not be not be a big deal when the production date is on the mkiv that you get, but the 2 links that i sent you look to be pretty new..
I don't believe this is true at all. For a Mk iv unit for the X5, look for the DVD logo AND the eject button should be on the left-hand side (looking from front). Mk iv's with the eject button on the right will not work on the X5, from the forum posts I've seen. Thanks Dimit3 for catching that too. That boxier right-eject model is for the recent 7-series (which also has a different display) and won't work for e53's. The first link in this thread will work.
Good luck all.
