TMV, sorry to hear you're selling your E39.

I installed a new factory X5 trailer hitch the weekend (after spray painting it all black with tremclad to avoid any rusting issues).

Also installed the factory Hella battery cut-off switch and

installed rear factory mud flaps to stop the dirt/rocks/snow/ice from getting trapped up in my nice new 4.8iS rearbumper spoiler add on. I had to slightly modify the mud flaps, but nothing anyone will ever notice. and it looks SENSATIONAL on the X5, if I say so my self

Don't be, Clockwork. I have 3 of them at home now. I need to sell 2 of them: 03 Dinan 540i MSport and 01 //M5. The newly acquired 2000 Dinan //M5 will be staying to take over DD duty.
