Finally got my X5....soooooo sweeeet
I'm not sure why anyone modifies the exhaust on the 4.8is, it sounds so nice...I love it. I think I need the Dinan strut bar though, I'm so used to the handling of my 545i that the X5 sways a little bit in turns...but still amazing ride and handling for an SUV.
So now for the mods...I have Nav and bluetooth and sliding load floor. I've ordered the following:
titanium trim
aftermarket running boards
gray roundels
remote radar detector/laser jammer

What else do I need? Definitely need Sirius radio, DVD player and headrest monitors for kids, window tinting, roof rack for surfboards, and a speaker upgrade...a little dissapointed with the stereo.

What else? What Sirius upgrade do you guys recommmend? OEM? How are the rear wheel spacers? Any performance problems/warranty issues?

I'm not so sure about the load floor...it takes up some space for golf clubs. Can it be removed?

Thanks for everyones help, this site has been great. A huge help with purchasing my first X5. My older brother has had his for 2 years, 3.0 manual. And my younger brother was all set to make an offer on an Infiniti FX45, so I took him to test drive a few X5's, and he bought his 4.4 three days later. No comparison in quality. Hopefully he's not too jealous when he takes a ride in my 4.8!!

I'm trying to post some premod pics...

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
It looks great, I would suggest a IPOD/HD radio adapter.

go to your bmw dealer and ask them to lower it.. since u have air suspension they can hook it up to their computer and lower it just a bit

Welcome. Great ride! Glad you were able to convince your brother too. Give the load floor a chance, I use mine quite a bit.
