It appears from the postings here that some 2007 X5s have the haptic "feature" and some do not, and that the presence (or absence) survives software upgrades. I recently had a chance to check with...

My 2007 4.8 built in April never had this feature, nor did the demonstrator I drove at the dealer, nor did the X5 I drove in Spartanburg when I went for PCD in May. I'd be interested to hear if any...

Yours looks worse.

First, I'm glad you came through the accident and hope you have an easy and speedy recovery.

Second, your photos remind me of the 2001 E53 that was crash-tested by the IIHS. It performed so well...

The number changes every day, because 5 different models (X5, Z4 Coupe, Z4 Roadster, and the Z4 M Coupe and M Roadster) are made on the same single production line. Oh, 6 models if the X6 production...
