switched to X5 from Escalade
 

Newbie here to the forum. But I just got my BMW X5 2003 with the 3.0 diesel and sports packages. (my wife thought the cadillac escalade was to big!) but I am very happy with the BMW and I am excited to take it too my hut on snowy roads.

I will post some picture when I have polished with some Zaino. but I have some question.

I have no nav, I am thinking of install the factory nav but is seems a lot of work with the parts in the trunk and a still it will cost a lot. is it worth it, maybe better to go with a high end pioneer or something!?

Anyone installed HID? (I have xenon but found some good HID on ebay with philips bulbs).

:xoutpost: for HID check here http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html

Hi There...
Wellcome to the board
Look at this link http://www.hannus.se/butiken/default...vd=xenonkungen

This one is good to http://www.ks-carstyling.se/index.do

I dont know about norway but in sweden you wont pass inspection unless automatic light leveling is installed with xenon

Is there a kit for the fogs that match OEM xenons?

:xoutpost: :wavey:

(update, I have Xenon light)

thanks, and many good links here. the HID lighting tutorial is very good but read it already.

Do the fog light also need to be self-leveling!?

One thing is for sure. I will install a hitch by myself after excellent info and tutorial on this site:)

:xoutpost: there fogs are not autoleveling, about the hitch, there are a couple of write-ups i have seen. :thumbup:

get the pioneer nav and you will be very satisfied.

foglights are not suppose to be xenon..
And no there is no leveling of any kind for foglights

do you have it!? I would be cool to have the pioneer with hdd and everything I belive you can get an adaptor for the steering wheel buttons also. but so little info on pioneer homepage.
