Help deciding what mods to make
Well I finally got the wife to agree to let me purchase some mods for my 2001 4.4I X5 - the truck is basically all stock and does not have the sport page. If you guys had a choice, which of the following options would you do.

Option 1:
4.6IS front and rear spoilers
Flared rare wheel wells
Replica 177 wheels
Aluminum gauge rings

Option 2:
Titanium interior kit
Aluminum gauge rings
OEM 132 wheels
Running boards
Front decorative skid plate

Option 3:
Drive it the way it is for another year and pick up a 4.6is when I have more money to spend..

By the way, my current X only has 38K on it..

Thanks
JD

Cool
Definitely option 2! It can´t be that expensive in the US.

Good Luck!

I guess that's why I'm having a tough time deciding - both options are about the same price, give or take a couple of hundred dollars. For a while I was leaning towards option 1, but then I wanted the titanium interior trim, and the wife wont let me go over 4K

Option #3. Start shopping now and find it early so she will have to say yes....

This will result in a car like mine (except the wheels)

I'm for option 3 you can make your X look like a 4.6is but it won't drive like one
