hi andy is that including the bezle and everything sorry i sound a bit thick on these sort of things but electrics is not my sort of thing .
also how long would it take to fit and how would i go about booking it in with you , it wont be for a few weeks as im having the head gaskets done at the moment they went on me in france ,

many thanks andy

yes it does. the bezel for the 5 series isnt as complex as the 3 series and therefore cheaper. i would need the car for about three hours to complete the install.
