If you like to have navigation, park distance control and reversing camera on your X5, I'd recommend, you don't get this one and keep looking for one that has them already (or negotiate with the dealer to include these items retro-fitted as part of your purchase).
All these items you like to have are an expensive and involved retro-fit.
For instance, to retro-fit navigation to this X5, (People correct me if I’m wrong) I'm sure you'll need to replace the screen to the wide-screen (or is the photo in the ad just deceiving? As it looks smaller), and install the DVD player under the in-dash CD player for the Nav DVD.
For the park distance control, you'll need to replace both front and rear bumper with the ones with PD sensors.
Perhaps the reversing camera is the easiest to retro-fit, once the bigger screen is fitted.
Bluetooth wasn't mentioned in the ad and there is no photo of the steering wheel to accurately confirm, but as it's not mentioned, I doubt if it has it.
The X5 has sophisticated electronics... Some electronic items won’t work by simply retro-fitting them. Some will also require additional software reprogramming and/or update to advise the vehicle a particular function/option is fitted.
On the upside, this car seems to have some nice to have features, that were otherwise options.
Good luck.
