And as always, YMMV. 😎

I gotcha, but I'm not a fan of the ventilated seats. I had them in a previos 2014 X5 before I upgraded to the M Sport and while checking it out it seems like the vetilation is sucking air into the seat rather than pushing air out onto the driver. So in concept, yeah it'll cool down the seats before you sit on it but after you sit on them it's straight useless.

Unless my model was built with the fans wrong in the factory hahaha. Still, not a fan and can do without them 🤙🏽

I'll 2nd that.. I had them in my previous X6M and didn't care for the look of the preforations (tiny holes). To each his own.

However, when it comes to scanner tools for checking your systems I highly recommend the Foxwell NT530 with BMW software.

Things I've done to my X5;

-OEM 6WA to 6WB Cluster upgrade (w/ HUD Capable)
-OEM Wheels Powder Coated to Black
-OEM Floating Center Caps
-OEM Chrome Grille surround swapped with OEM Black (NV does not have a black grille)
-Interior Custom Carbon Fiber Skinning trim
-CarPlay MMI Prime w/ Screen Mirroring
-ADD W1 Oil Catch Can
-K&N Air Filter
-Crystal Start Button
-Side View Mirror Carbon Fiber Covers
-Lamin X headlights & Taillights film
-Front Matching Window Film (matches rear)

I will say that the whole the Oil Catch Cans are user preference I do like having it. Since I installed it I have not had oily spots on the rear bumper near the exhaust and have not smelled that rarely burnt oil odor either.

I have also coded my own so have various coding options enabled.

Liking the Lamin X headlights & Taillights film do you recall what color you purchased? Is the headlights tint and taillights gunsmoke?

Thanks. That is correct, tint fronts and Gunsmoke Tails. I also got blue for the fogs but been lazy lately and haven't gotten to it 😅
