The mod can actually be done for the price of a E46 M3 SMG Slip ring (maybe $65) and $2 worth of wire. And of course an E46 M3 steering wheel. I did it to my 540i and the X5 is the same. I will post a link if I get a chance. It is on bimmerforums somewhere....

Yeah, I found a link that MITE46 posted documenting what he did on his x5 over on e46fanatics

I am definitely going to do this mod in a few months...

It is a 2000 540it sport and the X5 is a 2001 4.4.
