Virtual X5 show (Just for Fun)

Im sure some of the older members will say that this has already been done but whatever. On this thread please post a description of your wheels (year, model, options, etc), significant mods (putting in a cargo liner is not significant) and of course pics. Ive gotten alot ideas from this site and seen alot of cool pics but i had to spend hours digging through stuff. Hopefully this thread will help further inspire my fellow newbies. Have a nice day.

2005 4.4i w/sport package, Nav, Pan Roof
Star 87 wheels, RBs, Skid plate, ACS replica spoiler, AFE CAI, hidden radar detector, OEM ipod, 35% tint on front windows









Again, this is just for fun. Haters need not reply.

Vincenzo, where did you buy your AFE?

I was thinking that may be my next mod, what do you think of it?

I had AFE but went back to stock. ITS NOT GONNA MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE but a little roar that's it. Plus, you will fail on your smog test.

Got it from autoanything.com for $275. I love it. Gives the car a nice subtle growl at low speed. Growl barely noticeable over 45mph..ish. Measured 10 extra horsepower. Worth every penny IMO. No smog test for me.

the wheel has to be sent to a shop for installation. Takes couple of weeks and will cost you $800 or so i think, but the actual wheel itself, takes about 5 minutes.

did u get your engine and transmission software modified so the gears change faster? if not, seems like a bit much to pay just to relocate the gear shift. am i missing something?
