I had a pepper s for 3 years before the E70 and you are making a good decision. The X is superior in every way IMO.

canamx5, your X5 looks the best IMO out of all the members here! Including me!
DrJ, I found the 3.0si has more than adquate power...not tons, though. The engine from the 335 may find it's way under there at some point.

Thanks trueX5er! The X is in good company here.

Do the buttons on the overhead console (moonroof, reading light buttons) light up with the headlights on or are they just painted?

Does anyone have any pics of the door bin led's by any chance?

The three reading lights do not light up. The moonroof and help switch do.

it's very hard to take pics of the door bin LEDs...they are very dim..

Hello To All,

I was wondering the following....

I am getting an E70 3.0si without the Prem. pkg.

I really like the LED lights under the Door Handles, they only come with the Prem pkg.

Does anyone know if I ordered just the part to replace the NON-LED door handles with the LED Door handles...will they work. (Will the LEDs work)? are all of the cars prewired for them???
