They are OEM lights with the lenses removed and angel eyes installed. The skid plate is OEM also.

Mount for iPhone added this week:


Picked up the ProClip mount from Tom at EAS. Some modification was required to allow the Speck holding bracket to fit with the proclip. (the Speck holder is made for a belt clip) It also easily rotates 90 deg. :http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=183

I guess you wont be needing that old iPod anymore considering your iPhone probably holds 3x the songs as that old one.

Huh? The older iPod is a 30 gig and the iPhone is only 8 gig. Also the latest iPods are not fully compatible with my dice setup, so I don't use it for music in the X5. I mostly use a 60 gig video iPod for my multimedia needs!

A couple more mods! Intrax Suspension Module (allowing the X to be raised or lowered at any speed, any time: Intrax Module Thread



Dinan Strut Bar (I can feel the difference even in normal cornering):

I've read there is a 5 ~7% HP gain. Yes, the sound is deeper and sounds a bit better to me than stock, especially with an x pipe. Check out the sound clip on my userpage.
