I don't think we really helped him finding one.

So the short answer I think is no. I don't think BMW makes one. But a quick Google search turned up http://www.rau-autowood.com/x5.htm I have no experience with these guys so I can't speak to their work.

While most here wouldn't get one (including myself), ultimately it's your ride. You do what makes YOU happy.
