I figured it out - he doesn't have anything for my 4.8is. Other than basic coding his E53 work stops at the facelift.

I plan on doing a crap ton of maintenance. Only real "mods" I plan to is coding and some new wheels if a good price presents itself

I'm putting the 4.6is exhaust, body kit and front and rear fender flares on my 2003 Black/Black 3.0/5spd Manual, I also have 4 rear 4.6is 10.5" wheels and will be running 315's squared. Everything is at the house just have to get it to the body shop for paint. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Keeping it running is already a good and pricey mod.

Unrelated to Danny's project (one hopes), I have found the best/last answer to the question of what mods one has planned:

+1 for creativity
-1000000000000 for execution

I added a fake AC Schnitzer ebay spoiler... very happy with that. And for $125 painted in Imola... the seller did an amazing job.

Future mods will be minimal. Hoping to do interior trim and maybe a new head unit for the truck this year. The OEM nav is starting to really get on my nerves.

Maintenance, as with most X5's, will be much more plentiful. In the next month:
-front lower control arms (the rear ones)
-front sway bar end links
-finish rear drive shaft rehab (CSB, centering sleeve, guibo)
-finished front drive shaft rehab (guibo, grease rear at TC)
-replaced both CCV's on the valve covers, both were good

I pulled a couple sensors from the last pull I got... what do you need and how many? I'm going back Wednesday... Probably a few more sensors still out there...

Cheers!!!
