Oh no I hope not.... I really can't afford to mod 2 cars... well maybe a DICE iPod module and that's it! Honest.

There is a reason the e53 X5 was one of the safest vehicles ever tested when it came out.

Yes I found that out today... just had to crawl under the X. Parts that were stamped steel in the Explorer are solid steel/aluminum in the X... aerodynamic too!

I did just that... picked up a set of Michelin Pilot Alpins 235/65R17 on a set of ROH star rims for $600 (rims and tires) from a Kijiji ad. They were used 1 season on a 2002 X5 4.4... seemed like a deal too good to pass on.
Thanks for the welcome... now I'm spending as much time here as on the Mustang board. I like the international 'flavour' here. There's a lot to learn.
