I had originally heard you could not get daylight running lights - then, when ordering my '06, I find out I could (Ya-a-ay, ins disc!) - now I am hoping the dealer can turn them on in my '01 when I get the parking brake adjusted/repaired in 2 weeks

I'm finding out alot comparing the '01 & '06

the '01 steering wheel automatically retracts when the ignition is turned off - something I'd like to get the '06 to do

I wonder if the new trunk pull cover is retrofitable to the early models?

I don't like the '06 headrest - will the older style fit? how?

the '06 is very good on mileage, but not the muscle car my '01 is

the '06 is too quiet (I see an exhaust mod in the future)

the type 63 wheels('01) are easier to keep clean than the type 132s('06)

If (when) I replace the '01 hood vents with Ti, both X5s will be virtually identical (to me, this is a good thing)

Sorry for wandering off topic
