A little disappointing to find that I don't appear to have the built in window sun shades....but I have the clips next to the hand grab? Why? Wheres my Sun Shades?.........Just in case we get some sun!

Clips by the hand grab are normally to hang your suit jacket on. The sunshade clips are on the top if the window frames.

I have been lucky enough to buy my X5 fitted with a good amount of options from new so was chuffed to bits to find the shades in the rear. They have the little quarter light rear glass fitted with a shade aswell..... Keep a look out on eBay for a set of rear door panels fitted with them. I've seen one or two. It's a nifty mod which is easy to do and not necessarily costly. :)

Had em in mine too......rear doors, rear sides, rear screen.  :)

It's out there somewhere.  VIN ends 551.  Plate has been changed, but it's out there and should be giving someone a grin.

Sanj......now here I am wracking my brain, trying to figure out what on earth I have done for you to be this cruel to me, is it not enough that other 'Lucky' members rub salt into my many wounds?
I might even consider selling and buying an A**i

Slowly but surely - had mine since 2007 and gone through the options list. Go for it if you want it - not because you have to have it. My boy loves the seats... daughter too young to appreciate as she's still in the car seat.

I have lots more I can annoy/help spend your money on!  :))
