Upgrading E53 by BMW BROCHURE O E M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3Wy...YRSfS&index=60



Good day Everyone
Just finished adding OEM modifications
On my way to build a Fully Loaded OEM X5 by the BMW Brochure from the Dealer yet Work to be done by myself
My 4.4is came pretty well built with black headliner and sport seats, but knowing that there are more than 100 modifications FROM FACTORY that I can upgrade to makes me anxious.
This time Ive added OEM SunGlass Holder in the headliner, switched it from the ultrasonic car alarm module ISUS. TBH the lack of that Sunglass compartment with the replaced non essential ISUS module pissed me off all the time.
Added by surprise the OEM BMW FLASH LIGHT in to the Glove compartment
And on my way to Completely replace the Black Dakota Leather with Sport Seats to Same sport seats but wrapped in Italian NAPPA LEATHER from the factory. Basically the red interior SWAP

Next on the way is OEM Autodimming rear View mirror with temperature and Compass gauge, Pilkington Thermal glass aswell as double windows, Folding mirrors with puddle lights, M Cluster and much much more OEM GOODS mixed with DINAN & HAMMAN Upgrades

Do an LED conversion on that glovebox flashlight and make it actually usable.

Cool! I have two flashlights to convert. One is OEM. The other is a Craigslist find. Both work. Unplugged due to amp troubleshooting. Time to plug one back in.

Dang it! Take my money! Rear heated seat installation. Rear seat foot light!

That's perfect. Thank you. Just have to also adopt the puddle lights with some sort of a durable solution similar to this plug and play

In sure you have same kind of wiring under the back of your seats to add sneaker illumination heating and Reclining rear row which im also adding.
The next generations X5 are much more complicated to upgrade next to a pain in the butt, so thankfully we are in the right Model.

I'm working on installing the rear view mirror with the temp gauge and compas in it, also a factory option!!! Will show in next video

Mine has rear reclining already. The rear hatch and rear passenger buttons all work. Yes, mine does have wiring for a heated seat. I hope to find one sometime in black. Your video mentions a module for them. Mine would need a module and buttons for rear heated seats.

Mine does have an RPO code 4NA Interior Mirror With Dig. Compass

Yes it's not really a module, it's just buttons that you see beside the rear cigarette liter. You just need those buttons to activate the heating.
Aswell as plug in a rele in the back
