Been cruising here for a while, first post, new member. A few months back I traded in a 2004 Range Rover for a 2005 4.8is with CPO warranty. I liked the Range but it was no longer under warranty, and I've always been more into performance/modifications and the 4.8is had been calling my name for years. I really like it, gotta love the raw torque of the engine, and aggressive auto shift patterns. The want list is long (especially want Euro clears, exhaust, aluminum running boards, etc) but I already have changed a few things like:
Gloss Jet Black kidney grilles with silver edge on each slat
Angel iBright V3 Halo Bulbs
H&R 30mm rear spacers
BMW satin silver aluminum hand brake handle
Custom painted gloss Jet Black center caps with Imola Red 4.8is logo
Ultimate aluminum pedals including floor mat heal guard
Satin silver interior trim, sanded, primed, and painted the existing wood
Custom silver navigation knobs
JL Audio 500W Amp
Dual 10" Audiobahn subs custom box with Jet Black X5 badge
DICE iPod connection with Spec Dock
Alpine gain control knob in place of cigarette lighter
Roof rack delete
Updated 2006 navigation map and bypass accept screen
Crystal clear side marker turn signals with silver bulb
Looking forward to another great group of enthusiasts, I'm real active over at
m5board.com and I have a silver 2003 M5.
Thanks, Garrett
