I kinda like the look without the fogs. It would be inexpensive for me to remove the fogs and have the fenders repainted. I am not sure what BMW was thinking when they made plastic fenders.

The coding I figured wasn't too complicated. It's more of the Activation of the NAV Codes I heard were expensive. Someone told me if you upgrade to the new software the activation can be turned on that way without the Activation codes?

The activation costs are almost as expensive as the hardware it seems.

I hear ya on the X5M and towing. Nice boat by the way. I couldn't imagine what it would be on the MPG 7-8MPG
