Buttons
Sorry to hear your loss- I'm sure it's difficult after you have done a lot of work yourself to it.. I'm sure you will feel better about it after you get your 4.8is though....

I recently bought a set of new HVAC (I think that's what they are called) buttons- for temp up, temp down, etc... It was about $100 for a set and all I needed was a new drivers temp up button. Well I got a little greedy and swapped out all of them and I managed to accidentally break the old AND new button for Auto/interior/exterior air circulation...If you have this little button and it's not broken...Can I buy it? You would be my hero. I don't want to spend $100 again on a new set over one button. Also, if you have a compass mirror I would be interested in buying that from you too. I believe they are plug and play swappable....

She's a beauty. I originally tried to get a silver 4.8 but it didn't pan out. Are those chrome 168s I see?

I'm still new to this whole X5 thing — are the arches (not just the arch lips) on the 4.8 wider? That looks beefy!

4.6/4.8 have the same wheel arch FLARES in the rear (arch lip in your words). Other models (most) dont have flares.

On the front all the stock X5 wheel arches (most) are the same (NO flares).

As far as the body, all the X5 models are the same - meaning the fenders and quarters are shared too (within their respective years).

So, no larger arches for the 4.6/4.8 vs other models - just rear FLARES added (not counting the front & rear spoilers).

Ah, must be the light then, as those arches (fenders as you boys call 'em) look really pumped up.
