Just picked up our 2013 50i
 
We ordered our space gray x5 in mid August and we just brought it home two days ago. Its my wife's car and we are super excited. I do have an odd question regarding the rear reading lights. We noticed our 2 year old son sticking his finger in the light socket area and was surprised that there is no protective plastic reflector type cover for it. You can literally touch the bulb. It seems very odd for them to have left this out. I took a peek in my M5 and there is certainly one there.

Is this an oversight? Anyone else 2013 look like this?

I assume I will find a V1 hardwire DIY on here, but does anyone know of the top of their head if the 2013's are the same wiring wise as the last few years? Just in case I find a DIY for an 11' for example.

Thanks

They stopped putting in the covers back in at least '08. Neither my '08 nor current '12 have them. $$$ saving ;)

none in my 08 either

you're looking pretty good... or at least your wife is. ;)

So I noticed there is no sport button under the shifter
And this is because

2 no adaptive drive
3 so frigin confused w this AD thing
It unbelievable!:dunno:

Georgeous color combo on the M pac, well done!

Blake 09-28-2012 07:24 PM

Thanks guys!

Yeah, no sport button. You just move the shifter to the left and sport mode kicks in. We didn't have a need for adaptive drive as far as we could tell, so we left that option out.

Sweet ride!

Yes, those lights have no cover on mine too.

Very nice ride man, enjoy! And yes no light covers on mine either (07) very strange, like you said looks unfinished.

Nice X! Nope, no covers on my June 07 built either, weird...
