I got my first X5 2 weeks ago and it is now exactly how I want it.

The Mods include:

22" AC Schnitzer alloys with Michelin rubber
IPOD you BMW
Audioson Amp and 10" Sub
BMW Chrome exhaust tips (The stock tips always look nasty)
Invisi Shield front and rear
Voice Command and Bluetooth

I have attached pictures of the before and after. Let me know what you think

Great mod. I really like the sub. Did your X5 initialy come with the factory 2 6inches sub? where did you place the amplifier? if yes did both new sub and amplifer fit in place of the previous ones?

It's the clear 3M plastic 'tape' that protects against stone chips, parking dings, etc...

What could i ask is the black thing on the left side of the rear hatch mounted on the panel opposite the Sub. Also does your Sub have an enclosure behind it? What brand and how much?

Hey Niagra, That thing is an add on to hold groceries or bags. The handles go through the loops to keep things from banging around....

The question I have in mind are. Do you have the original DSP installed? Which shop you got the subwoofer installed? Around how much did it cost to get the job done? And finally, was a easy job to get it in there? Looking tidy as yours ?

Just one question on the wheels, how much was it? And which shop?

Sorry about shooting so much question at you, but I really don't have any experiences with upgrading the car, so don't know anything about where and prices to get the job done.

I have replied to your PM.

It came without the sub. I just got the standard install as I wanted to fit the ipod and couldn't find the ice-link here.
Amp is the left side where the CD changer usually is.

The Sub has a small enclosure built on to the back of the plate. The sub itself is a free flow one and therefore doesn't require a full encloure. The only problem though is that when I turn it right up the Filler Cap opens......
