    E70 X5 center console's switch buttons???

    Does anyone know what the outer left & right buttons are for? I can find info about all the other buttons...but the last two are coming up empty on google searches...as well as a download copies of the owners manual.

    Other members would need to confirm this, but I remember in older BMWs, there was always a 'phantom' button in case you wanted to add another feature or do a DIY install.

    Thanks for the input. From the responses from some other e70 forums...it appears that they are unused (at least on the e70 platform)...no one has seen anything used on those 2 outer buttons...which as you suggest...could leave it open for an add-on in the future.

    Although, on previous gen BMWs like the e38/e39...there was a function for each button:

    {e38 switch center}


    {pre-facelift e39 switch center}
