I am hoping we can make a sticky for aftermarket or OEM adds that you would have liked to option for but you didn’t because you bought off the lot. I am interested in what can be done and what prices we are looking at. Thought a sticky for adds would be informative and all in one place.

My List:
1. Adaptive Cruise Control
2. Laser Lights
3. Leather dash
4. Tow Package (I know aftermarket but would not want to mess with the fascia and just replace if necessary. I am looking at stealth to see if is better and hidden

I plan on getting this for towing:

So you don't need a replacement rear facsia? I couldn't tell from the photo. Also, will BMW need to program for the electrical?

You do not need a replacement fascia. The video shows how it is installed and comes down under the fascia when in use, it’s a neat workaround.

Installation does require the removal of the bumper. They have an authorized installer search option if you do not want to donut yourself.

The wiring harness is all you need, there are instructions for that as well.

My List:
1. Adaptive Cruise Control: Expensive but should be possible
2. Laser Lights: $12k a set plus coding is needed so I'm not sure you want this
3. Leather dash: possible and also needs the leather door tops ie full new door cards too

Thanks. I think I will go after the Adaptive. Even if it is costly it is cheaper than the deprecation realized driving off the lot and we keep our cars. Just dropped 5k or so on the ppf, paint correction and nano coat so worth it to get it. We have the extended leather merino. So not sure if you can do the dash alone. Arm rests and center are all part of the extended so I can live with the window sills. I will pass on the lights. They are going to probably be pricey to replace after warranty anyway. I like the idea of the hitch being more hidden and as long as the fascia goes back on after install on the tow it is worth it.

On the ACC. I have been wondering what the open holes are in the front end. I will bet those are for placing the additional radar. We have the 360, collision, 360 and parking assist the dealer just didn’t add the stupid $800 option. Not sure why they left the leather dash off when they ordered extended merino anyway.

you'd be surprised at what dealers order. I've seen damn near perfect X5's with everything but the Bowers and Wilkins for example yet they were at $98k.

here's where the radar is for ACC

How would we even go about adding ACC? I'd love to add it, but I assume it requires the radar, buttons for the steering wheel, and a re-program?

Will the dealer do it? Should I try to find the parts and install them myself?

Yes to the hardware and no clue if they will do it, probably not.

ACC Sensor from REAL OEM

X Line Steering Wheel Buttons

M Sport Steering Wheel Buttons

Front Trim M Sport

I'm not 100% sure what else will be needed

ordering is worth the wait. I promise While I went through hell getting mine with production delays galore it was worth it

I ordered my CB 40i on Friday around noon. Emailed my CA early this morning to add massage seats, and if you can believe, order had already gone to "112". Dealer called BMW Canada to ask for the change, but no go. My only regret, don't think it'll be able to wipe the grin off my face.

I will definitely be ordering next time. In my next X5, I would like ACC (I can't believe it isn't standard. We have standard useless light carpet thing but no ACC?), HK, leather dash, acoustic glass, spare tire, and maybe air suspension. It is near impossible to find an X5 with these options on the lot, so next time I will order. Also, I don't want 22" wheels and finding a M Sport without those wheels is tough.

really? I found more with 20" or 21" wheels than the 22"s, maybes it's because you're in SoCal?
