Ok, sorry for the delay on this post. Many of you are wondering how I made this happen. Here's my story:

I provided Mike(my SA) the information about the "Goodwill Program" BMW have regarding deal pixels, gave him Leonora V's contact info. He wasn't fully aware on the details of the program and was surprised because he also has a 02' X5 and wanted to do the same thing. To have a bit more pull, he asked the dealership's Service Manager(Rich) to make some phone calls and verify what the real deal is. I don't know who he ended up speaking with but in the end the program is legit and checks out 100% true. It applies to 5,7 X5(E53) and some other models. So the eligibility of your X is indiscriminate of what year it is (pre or facelifted). It boils down to how the SM words his claim.
I think BMWNA inadmissibly know that the pixel type format for display is poor. So Mike ordered my radio unit and his plus MID. The parts got to the dealer after 2 days or being placed on order. I'll try to squeeze some info out of Rich to find out who specifically gave him the green light.
Conclusions:
-I think BMWNA has better reassurance when they deal with the dealership on your behalf.
- 50-75% coverage on pre-facelifts is not entirely true(delership politics play a factor).

Let me know how i can help to get your pixels back. Good Luck
