Yep, its possible, I got a quote on my previous X5 G05.
The unit itself costs around $880, plus installation. My new X5 G05 came with it as an option - its definitely not standard. |

take a look at the customer specification guide attached - the wireless charger is listed as Standard on the xdrive25d then the xdrive40i should be inheriting the standard features according to this document if im not mistaken. |

I think you would have a different take on the wireless tray if BMW did screw up USB locations. Good luck fitting a phone in the center console with the USB C...the regular USB that's near the cupholders is great, but again...where can you really put the phone? on the wireless charging tray? ha I was always a bit disappointed with their placement of charging. Also, question to everyone out there...is there a cut out in the arm rest to run a cable outside and leave the flaps down? I pop open the passenger flap and run the cable from there and leave my phone on the passenger seat. Probably not the answer you want, but just my $.02! |

After putting up with it for 6-months, I insistent on a new/replacement from my dealer. I had to fight tooth and nail for it, including getting BMW Australia involved, and eventually I wore them down - and they arranged a changeover. I still had to pay $3k, but it was a brand new 2019 model and for my own piece of mind it was worth it. The 2019 hasn't missed a beat, its been perfect - and came with wireless charging, which the 1st didn't have. My s10 used to charge well, it only got slightly warm, but not hot. My current Galaxy Z flip charges the same, albeit a little slow... |

I was looking into retrofit of wireless charger for a new X5 that doesn't come with it. Can you tell me where you got this quote. I was hoping this could be done, but haven't found anything about how to complete this. Thanks, Dave |

The OEM wireless charger feature is nice. But it charges at such a slow speed.
A cord charger will definitely deliver more juice.

Here's a nice kit that is working beautifully for me. Fits very nicely in the intended space-

Chip Shortage to Blame
I took delivery of a 2022 M50i with premium enhanced package (Canada). No wireless charging and no credit offered. Why? Chip shortage. What else was missing?
No Homelink Mirror (No credit offered) No heated/cooled cup holders For some reason I don't have "Adaptive" setting for driver profile either. |

Does anyone know an aftermarket pad that can be installed instead of factory one? |

Not to mention, now that I moved to a iPhone Pro Max, it doesn't fit anyway.
