Yes I looked at the instructions posted in the DIY section. I knew for a fact it could be done on the E39 since it's similar to the X5. However I was told that there are differences such as the steering wheel column. Also, the wiring diagrams were not very clear in the DIY post.
I was just too lazy to take apart my car and figure out how to retrofit the column, which wire goes where, etc. So I paid a little more and got instructions on how to do it. The "kit" is a joke...it includes nothing more than the steering wheel column and a single cable. It's the saving of time and effort that I paid for!
If you need help with your retrofit, save yourself $$$. Now that I know how to do it, I'll be glad to help out...
