2) Should the service indicator light show a milage under the bars to let me know how many miles to go before the next service is due....I have the bars but no milage...(I have the premium package if that helps)
3) Should the system tell me if a door is ajar????
many thanks
BTW...I just love this car!!!!!

1) If your lights are blue-ish, then you have xenons. Also, if there are rings of light around the high and low beam (called Angel Eyes, around here), then you have xenons. I believe the '05 xenons also have either "Xenon" or "BMW Adaptive Xenon" etched into the silver part next to the light.
2) In the X5 there are two different types of instrument panels. One has a mileage countdown until service with numbers, and one just has a countdown using green, yellow and red bars. You only have one or the other.
3) It should tell you if a door is open. In the MID (Multi-information Display), it should say "Door Open," "Liftgate open" or things along those lines.
Hope that answers your questions. Again, you should read the manual from cover to cover (as you should with any car), but if you have any other questions we're all here to help.
