The option list isn't accurate. It does not have led headlights.
Use a bmw vin decoder to see actual options.

They’re not on the car and the auto high beam button is missing.

Isn't it there on the 6th slide?
I decoded the vin, it says it has the lighting package. Does that not include the LED's?

Not LED headlights.

S563 = interior LED lighting package

These headlights are S524 (adaptive bixenon); you're looking for S552.

Shameless plug: I'm selling one that has the LED headlights

Nicest X5 option I have seen on here in a long time, I second buying this vehicle and not wasting time on lesser options in worse condition.

That is indeed a good looking car but I wasn't really looking for a 50i. Little out of my Budget . I've heard Mixed opinions on the Bi Xenon and LED's. Are there really a necessity. Thanks.

The front end of an X5 just looks much better with LED headlights. Whether they perform better or not is slightly irrelevant to me.

Also, only you know if that X5 is a good deal or not. Does it have exactly the spec and options you're looking for? Is it well maintained? Can you afford it? If all those boxes check, then go and get it!

Leds do look better and perform better in my opinion. I've had both.

I don’t believe that his point was that the vehicle doesn’t have LED headlights, it’s that the ad is incorrect and make sure to use a VIN decoder.
But since you asked, LED>Bi Xenon

I'd say that is a great deal for that year/miles. I bought mine with 40k miles last year for that price but that was private owner.

Did you have a chance to request and review the maintenance history? Verifiable maintenance history will either justify the price - or not.
