Bit's and pieces.

Hi


Exhaust:
The exhaust tips are not OEM they fitted over the top of the 4.4i black tips (no welding). These are for a 3.0d and have the cut outs for the down pipes on a 3.0d. When fitted you do not see any cut outs or the origonal black tips.

Wheels:
These are Hamann Aniversary 22"x10.5" rims fitted with 295/30/22 tyres all round. The rears are spaced with 1.25" hub centric spacers to bring them out to line of the arches. The rims were origonally black spokes with stainless steel lips. The lips were a pig to keep clean and I was never sure of the look. SO I had them refurbished, with the stainless lips removed and the entire rim powdercoated black. This was done by Lepsoms in the UK.

Arches:
These are OEM/Alpina front and rear with the OEM side steps. BMW sold me the steps as a kit with new (standard - not wide) arches for £300.

Satnav:
This is upgraded to the MKIV.

About to added:
Hamann style rear lip spoiler (sits on the existing rear spoiler) this is currently in paint. Thanks to MrBMWX5 for his help in sourcing the spoiler.

What I want:
Rear and front 4.6i bumper kit/diffuser.

Good job so far. Hope those fitted tips stay on nice and tight without the weld.

Great personalized touches. I don't recall seeing photos on this forum of black 22" Hamanns. And 10.5 width all-around! Nice. I'm typically not a fan of black rims on a white or silver X, but they match up AWESOME with your dark blue X.

Wheels, Tips and Rear spoiler. All must go.

I am getting rid of my X5. PM me if you interested in buying:

Wheels: 22" Hammann anniversery with new tyres.

4.8i tips (fit over the existing 4.4i tips no welding)

ACS rear wing.

The wheels are straight and balanced. All refurbished bt Lepsoms in Kent including black powder coat.

A set of rear hub centric 35mm spacers and fittings.

Bruce
