Vaheh at Crevier Parts states that 2005 BT/Assist module (-993) will be superceded by a newer Bluetooth module....That may be the one you are talking about.....
Nevertheless, in your 2004 X5, all you have to do is swap the Assist module with the -993 and it will work on your car. You may need to get a BT Antenna....You DON'T need a pairing button. You already have the MIC since you probably have BMW Assist in your 4.8iS.

So my understanding is that X5s w/Assist built from 03/04 to 10/04 might not need expensive parts and costly labor to have a functional BT/Assist system, but rather just an inexpensive software upgrade. Either way, I’m going to hold off and hopefully in the near future see what BMW delivers.
Also, my local dealer has informed me that apparently BMW is working on what will be some sort of “Universal ULF” (BT/Assist) unit that will work with most if not all models dated back to late 2002. But so far that's just a rumor.
