Welcome to the world :xoutpost:

Let's see, how's about some big wheels! That's always a good place to start. You could go on forever so hold on to your wallet! It's addicting.

Not to many people with that color. I remembered when I was shopping for a X5 the dealers had like 4 used ones.

A good detail will really make that color 'pop'.

A Buckeye in our midst! Welcome Disloco. I'm not in sunny Columbus, but I'm about 3 hrs from you, more or less (less if the V1 doesn't beep), in West-by God-Va, about 45 mins from Morgantown.

Like Ms. Cmyx5go says, if you're looking for visual impact, it's hard to beat a plus-size wheel and tire upgrade (20" seems to be a good starting point for a lot of us, although design and style trumps size, IMO).

Performance-wise, well...you can find mods that will provide incremental gains in power and or performance, but the gains tend to be fairly spendy and modest in return, all things considered. Exhaust upgrades and cold-air intakes are the usual upgrade route. Not sure if a chip upgrade is available or even cost effective...search the archives and see what you can find. There's a lot of stuff in here, so have fun!

Mike
