Question Couple questions E53 to E70 owners

Will a set of (Invision) head rest DVD players from an E53 work in an E70?
Can a E70 Nav system play music through the BT on my phone?
Can anyone tell me what size concentric ring I need to buy to put some 20" wheels from an E53 on an E70?
For the BT connection in my E53, there was a card with a code to use to pair, is that the same in the E70? If so, where can I get a replacement card?

You can stream music through BT.

You do not need the car to pair BT devices.

I have connected the phone via BT, but I am not able to stream music through BT. In the previous post the poster mentioned it would... Just curious.

Anyone else have answers for the other questions I posted? Thanks in advance for your help.

Late 2010 or 2011 models that are part of the "Life Cycle Impulse" update. Wiki link. So it doesn't look like it's available on yours. Do you have the AUX input though? I'd imagine the audio quality through that would be far superior to that via Bluetooth and it wouldn't drain your battery anywhere near as fast.

Not impressed... :(

I have purchased an 09 with sport package, I am underwhelmed. It is just not the same as my E53 4.8.. It just kinds of goes along mushy, soft ride, vague steering, vague brakes,..... etc.........

I am sure that was the intent, to make a smooth riding comfortable vehicle, but it just does not have that edgy feel anymore. It has adequate power, the ride is nice, my daughters love the seats better in the back, overall nice car, but its just not a sports SAV in the same way my 06 4.8IS was.

Is it just me or is this been a similar observation by others making a similar switch?

Thanks.

The E53 4.8IS is definitely more akin to the E70 M.

I do find the steering in the E70 has less feel and feedback than the E53. The car corners a lot flatter with the base suspension though. Overall the E70 feels leaps and bounds better than the E53.
