2)Chrome door pillars
3)Chrome mirror cover
4)LED smoked/clear tail lights
5)Smoked LED side markers

7)"xoutpost.com" stickers
8)license plate "X5WORLD"
9)tinted windows 35% all around
10)removed 3.0i stickers from car
11)MTX 2 12" subs + MTX JH300 amp
12)6000k HID H3 fog lights
13)D2S 6000k HID bulb upgrade

So what shhould I mod next?
I tried to do tint of headlights,looked too dark at night :-(

+3

Asides from what mt said I'd definately change the steering wheel to the sports version (walrus tooth) I mean that's what you'll look at every time you jump in and drive. It's just a better looking wheel and IMO suits the early X5 interior.

Maybe get some inspiration from X5Dawg, his X is white also and has a good theme

i think your next mod should be a custom exhaust system. check out mine, i also have a 3.0

http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...st-system.html


also you can get the aFe CAI .. easy mod.





other mods:

-new headlights or get AEs in yours/remove waffles
-4.6 kit (i would love this)
-you can go with some BSW options for your sound system.. i got their speaker upgrade..its pretty good..workin on getting their stealth sub.
-HID fogs 6000k

and thats all that comes to mind at 2:13 am lol


also, i'm not a fan of the chrome door pillars. just my opinion. and if you could get a few more pictures of your tailights that would be awesome.. especially at night. would be interested to see them.

nice X. keep modding!

I will post clear pictures of tail lights at night tomorrow or so. Did you notice any benefit from AFE intake,or it is just a waste of 200$? What exhaust system would you suggest for not too high price?

i think the afe CAI is a great mod. performance wise, its nothing major. but you can definately hear it (best part).

i would suggest a custom system, as it will cost ALOT less. if you like how mine sounds all you need is an X pipe and magnaflow round mufflers, and some new piping. I was also extremely happy with this mod.
