Has anyone with BMW apps found a way to get these working while the vehicle is in motion? It's quite ridiculous the way these have been hobbled on Aus cars. I can understand safety concerns to some extent, but for music related apps I can't even change a playlist while the car is moving. The standard media player the comes with the car offers more functionality than this.

Thanks for sharing the pics of your X5. Nice performance front lip

Have you fitted the rear diffuser as well? I'm thinking to install it on mine. My X5 is fitted with the factory tow bar, not sure it is compatible.

I believe you should be able to code it via OBC if you have the cable and program.

Not a problem. Yes I have the rear diffuser and also the rear left and right flaps too. Not too sure if I am going to get the side decals though. Here is a pic of it.

I probably should be clearer, I've tried FDL coding various settings in HU_NBT without success. There are a few other aussies in the same boat. There's no known coding solution. I'm hoping someone will come up with one!

Hey guys

Any clue on how you can track the X5 production and shipping once you have the VIN?

I remember doing it with ththe X3 and even with a photo of my actual car in the production line but can't remember how to do it.

Hi, I'm a new owner of a White M50d in Sydnay. No pics yet but I will endeavour to take some soon. I have changed the grille to a black M Performance option. I'm keen on the carbon front & rear add ons. But first towbar.

Here is a low quality shot of the tongue. The whole install was done by the local BMW dealer so all works nicely and has the full towing capacity etc. The towball is replaceable as well which was important to me.

I think the bar was made by BestBars. The do sell into Australia I think.
Hi, I just checked their website and they say it's rated at 2700kg. Do you know if this is correct?

Why have I not seen this thread before?! NW Vic, 50i. So far 12L/100 - and it's not run in yet, and yes it's seen 200 a few times so far so I'm not being a pussy with it. The rest of you have seen the pic, but for this thread's sake....

How tight is the fit? I had a Hayman Reese bar on my old Landcruiser that the tongue used to rattle a little when a loaded. Are you able to take some more pics of underneath the car?

Has anyone done any coding for their F15 X5? I would like to unlock the DVD in motion function.

Ninjaoz did you end up chipping?
