Here are some mods I did to my wife's 3.0 X5. The pic's don't do justice and that's only because i suck at taking them. I'm posting few before and afters.

But before i do, i want to thank and give a shout out to the following people who made it happen:

1) Daripper - for the quick reponses to all my questions on various mods
and being helpful

2) X5 Meister - for putting the group buy together for Vredestein Ultrac
tires

3) DrewX5 - for excellent customer service and providing me with all OEM
parts at a good price (I luckily found him on ebay). He’s affiliated with
a local BMW dealer and sells all original BMW parts and accessories at
steep discount vs. Dealers or online shops. PM me if you need his contact
info.

4) Matt from C&D Autobody - for putting all the parts in, fixing up the bad
scratch I had on one of the doors (I managed to scratch it in a garage
after owning it for only 2 weeks) and for a great detailing job. The only
issue I ran with C&D was with delivery date, but nevertheless, I was happy with the work! (P.S They are on the pricier side, but if money and time isn’t the issue, he’s the guy to go to with all body work / detailing).

5) Park Ave BMW - for taking care of Misc servicing needs. These guys are excellent when it comes down to work & customer service. I've been to two other dealers and these guys are by far the best.

Mods Done:
1) OEM Running Boards
2) OEM 4.8 Exhaust Tips
3) OEM Extended Archs
4) 300M Style 20" Wheels
5) Vredestein ultrac Tires - 275’s front, 315’s back (had to get OEM TPMs for the new wheels since i'll be running winter + summer set).

Mods Remaining:
1) Ceramic Tints
2) Lux H8 Angel Eyes
3) Replacing inside bulbs with white lights

By the way, i have the OEM flares (non-extended part no. 51777158428 & 427 and 51777163558 * 557) and black side boards (not running boards part no. 51778037290 & 289) for sale. If anyone interested in replacing their old parts with these, PM me.

This is a 08 Black Sapphire 3.0si with Tabacco Brown interior. I got this with only 4K miles on it. Options include:
Tech Pkg, Cold Wtr Pkg, Premium Pkg, Rear Heated Seats, Head-Up Display, 20-way adjustable seats, Comfort Access , Active Steering and the list goes on.
