X3 battery recommendations

I left my x3 parked for 3 weeks, and came back to a completely dead battery. I jumped started it, and drove around for 20 minutes, and found that I could start it up, but after driving around some...

Can you get bluetooth functionality without a ULF?

I've been searching some of the other forums, and it seems like you can get bluetooth functionality on the older X3s (I've got an '04 with assist), by replacing the existing TCU with the latest model...

I agree with what you are saying, but it seems like it would be a cleaner install if you skipped the adapter. Also, I'm not entirely sure if you would need to get the adapter, since the flashlight...

Rewire flashlight jack to USB

I've noticed several people use the aux power adapter to connect their flashlight jack to devices (gps, phone, etc.). However, most of these devices run on a USB interface, which is 5V.

Is it possible to add start button & RFID key to X3?

I know that the new bimmers now come with the option of adding a start button and 'comfort access'. Just wondering if anyone has tried putting it into an e83?
