Re: Grey 9" headrest screens

Are these genuine X5 head rests or aftermarket head rests that fit an X5?

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!

Just try to relax, everything can be sorted with a bit of work, dont let it affect your life. Have you tried search on ebay for people breaking X5s? I seem to find 6-7 all the time that are being sold that you can email and ask. The other thing you can do is look here: http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales ...

Re: Intravee II and Alpine KCA-420

Ok understood now. Am I right in saying that the hard bit to find is the Alpine part and not the Intravee part? Somewhere I heard you could get other features unlocked by installing the Intravee like unlocking of doors and folding of wing mirrors on locking. If I got Intravee II does it already come ...
