hey do you have examples of the retrofit loom? why is the retrofit loom that much better than taking the wire loom from a car? I have everthing - but now i'm curious why the retrofit is so much better??
are there instructions on both? can it be easily identified the difference?

Trying to fit a factory-nav wiring loom to a car with no nav is a massive job, and involves running wires to each speaker and more, and is thus MUCH more work than using the retro-fit loom.
My recommendations:
Start with a copy of the retrofit instructions for your car. PM me ofr a copy if you don't have one. The instructions list/show all parts needed for the job, plus tell you how to go about it.
Get all the hardware incl nav/radio/screen + brackets, nuts and bolts from the junked X5. You may also need the antenna amplifier(s)
Get the small cables such as GPS antenna cable and radio antenna cable as well.
Then get the retrofit-loom new (ebay, BMW).
