Newbie X3 Owner here with a couple of questions

[JonX]

hey guys and gals, just wanted to introduce myself, im Jon and a proud owner of a pre-owned 2004 X3. My first BMW but not new to the BMW scene as the rents have had a 3 series, 2 5 series and a 7 series BMW. Love driving this SUV, definetly missed German engineering. Just had a couple of questions

- slight whining sound coming from the steering wheel at low speed normal? With past experience with Ford and Mazda, usually was the spiral cable or steering rack and or pump. This vehicle doesn't have electric steering does it?

- Anyone disable day time running lights?

- Anyone install aftermarket HID's to X3's that didn't come with HIDS from factory?

- How do you remove the kidney grilles? Ive done a search already, helpful, but there are 2 types of clips behind the grille...which clips are they?

- Anyone install the ipod jack adapter? Just wondering if its a pain.


Thanks in advance for any info
