Pvandam,

thanks for jumping on the wagon for us with that info, appreciated... im taking my chances, and quite frankly from what i've heard .. why not, it all reads and sounds good. But questions are what make you think of possibilities and what ifs? its a funny thing that... not knowing one or teo things makes you want to find out more and more etc....

x5fx,

i tried doing a search i didnt find anything, maybe it could be my search technique, regardless i will look throught the e90 posts, i have actually found them beneficial for other small things, i just keep thinking that even though these features are similar amongst the bmw model range, ie 3,5,x5 etc... their are differences and only true e70 x5 answers can help

but thanks anyway
