Thanks again.
On the X5 (and I believe the X3 would be the same) the UK and North American trailer plug receptacles are different (ie the number of pins). There are national standards that they follow. For that reason the harness from the lighting module would be different, at least on one end.

That implies to me that the module could be different. It is the same where it goes into the vehicle, and it serves the same purpose, but the logic could be slightly different, ie pin assignments in the harness.

I do think you need to ask a dealer about the bulletin, to see if it says anything critical to your application.
