X5M performance and handling mods?

I have a 2016 BMW X5M that I picked up at the BMW Performance Delivery Center in Greenville, SC this past June.

I am leasing my X5M for 3 years. According to my friends at BMW USA in Montville, NJ, most X5M's and X6M's in the northeast USA are leased and not purchased new. That may explain why many of the original "owners" are hesitant, reluctant or just plain against paying for any performance modifications that could invalidate their lease agreement, let alone spending money that they will not recoup at the end of their lease. A strong incentive to keep our vehicles essentially stock.

It is my experience that it is the group of 2nd Owner's who purchase these type of performance vehicles that are coming off of a lease who then will spend the money on various performance modifications and improvments, including coding, chips, exhausts, suspension, etc.
