Should I facelift my X5?

[JayX5]

Well I was thinking of a new project to change the look of my x5. FACELIFT!!! Im planning on doing the whole conversion and going with the 4.8 bumper. Right now I have the 4.6 spoiler on with shadowline grilles and love the look. However, I feel I would like to change things up a bit. Plus I thought it would be cool to have a Facelifted steel grey X5, probably the only one out there.

I am a little hesitant though because of the complications I may run into later on, ie. headlight wiring(leveling+xenon), new fog light harness etc. I know it's been done before, but not sure of the total costs. Plus I'm not sure if this is the right route as the prefacelift front end looks a lot meaner in my opinion. Do I wanna lose that? So what are your opinions? Should I facelift or leave it as is?

My vote is leave it as is, however I like the facelifted X5's. Save your cash for unexpected repairs. Pre facelifted X5's look great too IMO.
If you do go ahead with the project, keep us posted

Good Luck either way!

I'd re-finish your 87's in ferric gray chrome instead.

No, your X looks great as it is. Waste of money IMO, but do whatever makes you happy.

How much will this cost? 3 or 4 grand? I'd say save it for a rainy day.. Unless you got the cash to burn, go ahead and do it!

I think face lifted X5's are beauties...but there is a toughness about the pre facelift X5 that I love....my vote stay with what you have and spend the money elsewhere!
