Very nice install on everything. Can you give us some info on those wheels??

Also, how difficult was the install on the head unit. I usually do all of my own audio work and eventually the wife is going to pass the X on to me (once I find her a 330cic or SC430) and I really would like to put a screen in the dash.

Nice job on that Nav install, and the subs in the back. I'm personally not feeling the 22" chrome rims, but that's just personal perference.

You pay attention to detail!

Nice rims. What are they? Do they come in 5 spoke?

Are the pictures before or after you lowered your X5? Still looks like a sizeable gap between the fenders and tires.

Yes I have Eibach for sale check for sale forum
I ordered H&R mainly for the rear air ride adjustment part.

The 22" wheels are called NAD5. I bough them on Ebay. They also come in a 5 spoke.

The HU was very easy install. I just removed both OEM units. Cut the divider piece in the dash and the HU just slided right in. Like it was made to fit. I couldn't believe how nice and tight the fitment was. Other then that it was a typical install.

The first pic was before the lowering. The front side view is after, but I'm on a hill in that picture. I'm working on a fully adjustable link for the rear to pretty much lower it where I want it. I'll keep you guys posted on any updates, Thanks Rob
