switched to X5 from Escalade
Newbie here to the forum. But I just got my BMW X5 2003 with the 3.0 diesel and sports packages. (my wife thought the cadillac escalade was to big!) but I am very happy with the BMW and I am excited to take it too my hut on snowy roads.

I will post some picture when I have polished with some Zaino. but I have some question.

I have no nav, I am thinking of install the factory nav but is seems a lot of work with the parts in the trunk and a still it will cost a lot. is it worth it, maybe better to go with a high end pioneer or something!?

Anyone installed HID? (I have xenon but found some good HID on ebay with philips bulbs).

Hi There...
Wellcome to the board
Look at this link http://www.hannus.se/butiken/default...vd=xenonkungen

I dont know about norway but in sweden you wont pass inspection unless automatic light leveling is installed with xenon

(update, I have Xenon light)

thanks, and many good links here. the HID lighting tutorial is very good but read it already.

Do the fog light also need to be self-leveling!?

One thing is for sure. I will install a hitch by myself after excellent info and tutorial on this site
