Finally the X5 is here, hello everyone.

I'm saying finally because when I test drove the car the SES light came on and the previous owner had to fix it before I get the car. Turned out that one of the O2 sensors was bad and needed replacement. Now I'm new to the X5 family but not to BMWs. This is my 7th but first X. So far I love it, and my wife likes it so much she said she will sleep in it the first day we got it.

It's nothing too fancy, but it has almost everything that I wanted and the condition of the vehicle is really nice. I bought it from the second owner, who got it from the original one at the end of 2009 with 100 000 miles and service records since the car was brand new. Unfortunately the second owner didn't keep many records, but he kept the car in a nice condition for the 60 000 miles he owned it.

Now the two questions I have right away are: first what is the best way to fix my MID display cause almost all of the pixels are gone and its driving me nuts? And second, when I shut off the car a message comes on the dash that says "check side lights" I believe it was. Now I did notice that the angel lights never come on so I guess their bulbs are burned and probably thats causing the message but wanted to double check.

Here's couple pictures, before the car goes to the detail guy to work his magic on the paint
