*Joke* rh71. Where you looking on Kelly Blue Book to see how much your car is worth? I'm just saying cuz "both front & rear side airbags" was one of the options on KBB.com while I was trying to see what my car was worth. I was trying to determine if I could go from my 4.8 to a X5M or 35d.

I don't think the X5 has rear-side airbags. It does have front-side and "Front- and rear-compartment Head Protection System (HPS)".

It's shown in the manual on page 97 *2008 Owners Manual*.
