Hi Atlanta X5

First, a beautiful 4.8is! I love it. Very clean and very well done. My hats off to you

I used to be fairly active on the M5 boards, so I know the boards well, so its great to see another E39 owner here

Lastly, as far as your A/C buttons go, did you know that BMW has a climate control button 'kit' available that allows you to purchase all the buttons and not the entire climate control unit? I don't know if you are looking to replace those buttons but it's an option.
