Congratulations!

Could you please summarize what

• what year is your X5 (E53), iDrive or pre-iDrive
• components you used
• what was needed to make the transmission & transfer case mate
• changes / modifications to drive shafts
• same for shifter (if so)
• reprogramming of ECU (at minimum so it knows not to talk to the former automatic)
• flywheel & clutch you used
• other key points

Did you need to certify the car in the CIS (as you would need to do in most Western European country) something like TUV?
