3.0 wants 4.6kit

[X5Bob]

Hi,

ok ive searched high and low to find answers to this,

i have a 2003 X5 3.0 with side steps, standard, i was wondering if all the enthusiasts can put me outta my misery and tell me if it can be done, ive spoken to many after market dealers as well as the BMW dealers and they all give me different answers, some say i have to change the whole front and rear as well as the sides to get the look i want (excluding exhaust mods)

is this true? cant i jus get the front and rear lower lip???
and can i get the original 4.6 flaired look with the plastic part on the sides put on??(sorry bout the description but im not autopartmechanic lingo'ed

can someone put me outta my misery please!!!

i want the 20inch rims as well that i can find (after it costin me an arm and both my legs) but do i need to lower it? change suspension? etc???

if this has been answered really sorry to waste your time but i havent read anythin on this yet

thanks!!!!

Here's a couple good write-ups on what I think you are trying to accomplish -

No, you do not need to adjust the suspension in any way to add the 20" rims.
