It's a plug-n-play direct swap. Takes all of 5 minutes to do. I did this on my 2001 X5 a couple years ago, so I speak from direct experience (and many many others have done this as well)

Interesting
I have the same model X5 and my nav screen was acting weird also. They replaced it with another system. How do I know which version they replaced it with?

Drive says DVD on it.
If you flip open the panel that hides the drive rack in the back left of the cargo area, you will see a slot-loading drive. If it says DVD on it, it's a Mk4.

Highly unlikely that it is a 2004+ unit unless your X5 is a 2004 or newer or you replaced it yourself. You may have to remove the module and look at the sticker on the side to see what the build date was in order to be certain.

Apparently, my dealer did not actually try to replace the drive. He simply went to BMW and they said it is not a covered procedure - ie bad CD drive (Mk3) gets swapped with a new DVD drive (Mk4). Standard operating procedure on an X5 appears to swap like for like, unlike on the 7 Series where the upgrade to DVD is SOP. Anyone seen other than this?
