Will E53 X5 professional radio fit in an E39

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Will the BMW Professional head unit and CD player from an X5 fit in an E39, i.e. are they interchangeable?

Physically and electrically, Yes

However, they are not the same

The viewing angle on the X5 is totally different to the E39, meaning that with an X5 monitor in an E39 you cannot or can hardly see the image on the monitor's screen.

You would have to adjust the viewing angle - which means dismantling the display, and plugging it in - in a dismantled state - and then experimenting with the adjustments until you find the viewing angle adjustment.

Fraught with danger and not for the faint hearted.
