Mind me asking why did you remove the stealth box and amp? did you not like the outcome of sound?

I have a 2 yr old daughter and no need for that much bass anymore. Loved it, but no longer used it to its potential. :thumbup:

Replaced the two front seats with seats from a later model X. Now the kids can raise and lower the headrest electrically.

Busy weekend in X5 land.

On my 4.8is I tried the Dr. ColorChip system, replaced front control arm bushings (vibration persists), and did a full trans service with mechatronic sleeve replacement. Oof.

On my 4 4, I sent it off to a new home. Kinda sad to see it go but really no need for two E53s. On the upside, I traded it for one of my favorite cars of all time - E38 750il. Hard to argue with a massive luxobarge rockin' a V12.

And replacing the front passenger window mechanism and overhauling the passenger side power folding side mirror on the 4.6.

was it a straight plug and play install going from the 2001 seats to the later model? what year seats did you retrofit into your X5?

Not quite a straight plug and play. Apparently, the later seat belt receptacle uses a buckle that is slightly thinner than my 2001. Had to swap out the seat belt receptacle from my old seat to the new seat. Other than that the seats went in and everything seems to be working. Got both seats for $80 bucks on Craigslist. The donor car was a 2004 4.4 X5.
