Do you regret installing anything on your X?

I'm looking at my '03 X5, tracking the things I've done to it, (tires, wheels, speakers, subwoofer, XM radio, DICE iPod controller, Bluetooth, OEM trailer hitch, electric brake controller, mudflaps), and wondering what else I could/should/oughta do to/with it. I've done about as much as I can think I want to do, while maintaining a mostly-stock appearance, and I'm not sure what else is left that would enhance the driving experience without making it look like a Disney carnival ride...

Is there anyone here who has installed a feature or accessory or other mod to their X, and regretted it later on? Anything that is a *must* do? Are there any mods that are just *not* to be done?

Dave

not at all, but when the time comes you need to trade or sell your car, make sure you get every mod that you put in there, that's what i did to my E46, i sold all the mods and put it back in stock, got back about 4K of 5K i put, which isnt too bad considering that you have used it and enjoyed.

good one! i should try that next time.

But on a serious note, my wife offered to get me my speaker upgrade as a belated Christmas present. Guess where I ordered it from? Wanna take a shot at it Bimmer360?
