2004 x5 4.4 3rd row?
Hey all,

As I write this I am hoping for a miracle! Any chance to incorporate the newer 2007 parts into a 2004?

Any aftermarket 3rd row options? I know the 07 is different, 7.5" longer for starts I think I read.

I would love to keep my 04' and figure out a way to solve this issue. anyway, thank you for your time.

'07 is a completely different vehicle.

No aftermarket 3rd seats available.

You can bolt any seat you like back there, but presumably you will be carrying children, and you won't have seatbelts or proper anchoring of the seat. That would be enough to stop most parents.

This has to be one of the best threads on the board in a while. Install a third row in the E53 X5!? You guys crack me up.

The longer and bigger E70 released in 2007 was specifically designed for third-row seating (mainly for the US market) while the E53 was designed from the ground up as a five-seater. In short, no miracle for you, this time around.
