I strongly recommend that you get one that came out of (or was intended for) an E53 X5. Units from an E38 or E39 (5 and 7 series) will fit, but the angle of the unit in the dash is more vertical so BMW has the LCD screen settings tuned for that position. Thus, if you do not use one from an E53 then the screen will not look as crisp and clear.

Do not use one from an E46 (3 series) as it will not fit properly.

Any screen from a 2001 through 2006 X5 is what you want to buy and install.
