That whole angel eye thing from jlevi was a fiasco. The $200 angel eye kit they sent me was identical to a kit I bought from ebay for $50(+$20s&h) down to the packaging. I took out the led turn signals because even with resistors, I couldnt get the fast blink to go away and it was driving me crazy. I still have led side markers and the chrome-amber turn signal bulbs front and rear. The front signals are cleared out with the angel eyes and I did complete the hid foglight conversion. I know its a sacrilege to BMW purists but oh well, oh well. I changed the front and rear roundels to M\\\ emblems and the shifter to a satin aluminum M\\\ shifter (I have a 5 spd manual). I took off the 3.0 off the front fenders and replaced them with M\\\ emblems as well (I can already hear the purists calling for my crucification now). Too bad for the purists. 1st of all BMW should have 1) made an X5M (an MX5 would've been a Miata, ha,ha) , 2) should have made it with a true manual transmission, and 3) made it look just like mine. At the very least they could've let the V8 come with a stick. And now the E70 is completely devoid of a manual! BMW sucks! I'm buying a wagon next (unless they stop offering manuals in that...) Didnt do the dash pieces yet. I'll have some pictures coming real soon. Thanks for your interest.

Bro, i totally agree that they should have made a M-series for the X brand, but saying it should look like yours, that was my disagreement. No offense to your car, it looks nice but its should have look like the lemans X5 and built the performance around the e39 6sp so its still affordable.

So many people have stopped me to ask if I'd imported my X5M from Germany and how could they get one. BMW dropped the ball on the performance X5... at least so far... Quote:
