Question Newbie X5 owner (UK) with some questions.

Evening all,

I've just put down a deposit on a 2002 4.4i Sport, which I pick up on the 27th Jan.

The car has a great spec. It's in dark grey with full black leather, 20 inch wheels, sunroof, widescreen nav, heated rear seats, PS2, DVD player, rear screens, only 48k on the clock with full BMW service history etc.

I have a couple of questions however. I'd like to swap out the headlights for the ones with clear indiciators. The car does have xenon headlights, but they're not angel eyes and they have the amber indicators. Will these Hella lamps be a straight swap? Headlight 1EL 224 485-411 - AUTOTEILE - Auto Ersatzteile für Ihr PKW - Autoersatzteile und Autozubehör günstig online kaufen - hier finden Sie PKW Teile wie Auspuff, Bremsscheibe, Stoßdämpfer, Zündkerzen, Ölfilter, Radlager, Zahnriemen und vieles meh

Also, the car has a Motorola phone in the arm rest, but I'd like to swap this for Bluetooth. I'd like to try and use OEM BMW parts where I can, but is the BMW Bluetooth very expensive? Would I be better off with a Parrot kit with steering wheel controls?

And finally - I really want to fit an iPod, and was considering the DICE route, but don't really want to lose the CD changer. Does the BMW iPod kit mean you can still keep the CD changer active?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to add these little items to the car fairly quickly and want to make sure I know what my options are!

Cheers.
