Interior/Seats
The instrument cluster and dashboard layout is similar to other BMW models with all of the
controls in easy reach of the driver. The instrument cluster variations (high and base) are
taken from the E39 as are all driver information electronic systems.
The center console contains the radio or navigation system and the climate control panel
along with the central switch panel (SZM).

Interior
Located above the windshield in the center is the overhead console that contains the uni-
versal remote switch panel, interior lighting/map panel, sunroof switch and grille for the tele-
phone hands-free microphone. The light panel contains a single bulb which is controlled by
the ZKE, as well as two map reading lamps. The switch provides a ground signal which the
GM recognizes as a request to either turn the interior lights on or off. If the switch is held >
3 seconds, the lights are switched off in the work shop mode as on other models.
Incorporated into the overhead con-
sole, behind the universal remote
switch, is a sunglass storage com-
partment

Tailgate
The tailgate on the X5 is two sections that
open up and down. The upper section has a
fixed bonded rear glass that incorporates the
rear window wiper and motor assembly. Two
gas strut pistons are used on the upper sec-
tion for opening. An electric actuator is incor-
porated in the upper section with the micro
switch for operation located between the two
license plate lights. The actuator locks into
the lower tailgate section when closed.
A micro-switch positioned in the center console switch
panel is used to open the tail gate from inside the
vehicle.
Operation of the upper tail gate is con-
trolled from the GM which locks the
operation of the gate when the vehicle
speed is over 5 MPH. A dealer installed
class three trailer hitch is available as an
option with a towing capacity of 6000
pounds.
