2004 X5 4.4 vs 2000-2003 X5 4.4
 

Does anyone know the difference between 2000-2003 X5 and 2004..??
I purchased a 2004 X5 4.4 new instead of a 2003 because there were about 120 inprovements over the 2003.
Over the weekend I got into a argument with my son, a M5 owner. So can anyone help me out....

yes. you are absolutely correct.

2004 was the start of the facelifted model which includes:

new front bumpers
headlights/tail lights
liftgate latch
4.4 engine
panoramic moonroof
transmission
hood
x-drive
wheel designs
graphite trim instead of titanium
rear sunshade hooks
repositioned rear seat controls
LED on light switch control
sport steering wheel
tire pressure monitor
redesigned pictographs

ummm.....that's all i can think of off the top of my head...

Several threads on the comparo. Just need to search.

Major are:
Valvetronic Engine
X-Drive
Transmission
Facelift

Everything else is not important (for me).

Many thanks, my son is an engineer so I have to get my facts straight...That's pretty good "off the top of your head".......!!
