Mansory have added LED lights to their modified X5M. The complete package is interesting but I would not want to lose 4" of ground clearance for my driving.

Is BMW North America as inflexible?

BMW Canada has rejected my order for an X5M.

The message is zero flexibility. The choices are those on our web site. "We know better than you."

No BMW Individual leathers are available.

I really like these reflectors - they clean up the look of the vehicle.
