Hi all

Just a quick hello, recently got the X5 i've been after for a few years since I drove a friends and thought what an awsome toy.

Ive had a go at a few mods, done the splash screen, reverse camera and half way trough the iphone4 snapin/intravee setup.

Wouldnt mind doing the paddleshift mod but cant find a sensible wheel setup.

Great site here, Ive got so much info from here and the Uk xdrivers site.

Thanks for the great site.

nice...
EU clear corners. :)

Sweet! :thumbup:

Nice color, that's not available in the US! Unleash the beast!

Congrats, nice X

Nice. But your steering wheel is on the wrong side! =P

PS - nice colour, too bad we didn't get that over here!

Dat color..... I want it sooo bad in the US! I suppose it was too BA for us. :)

On a side note about the paddles, it may be possible to use you current steering wheel by using mercedes paddle, SMG slip ring, and some wiring (HowTo-> Paddle shifters from Mercedes on a E38 and yes it works! (long)) Although I dont know if the E53 wheel has the same location of the metal plate and i dont recall if anyones ever done it.

Or just take the M3 route on the X5 E53 tips 'n tricks.

Thanks for the comments everyone, the colour is not that common over here and took some finding.

I think you will find that my steering wheel is fine its all yours that are wrong.... much like i'm fine its teh rest of the world

did look into AMG paddles but think ill wait for a wheel from BMW

Very nice color... :D
