First time x owner, a few questions

[vg30deracer]

I recently bought my wife a 2003 4.4 x5. We are both very happy with the purchase. Our new vehicle rides amazing, has a great number of convience and safty features, probably more they we will ever use.

I do have a few questions however

1) the car is quick, but what would you do to make it a little quicker with in reason, no turbos/superchargers, more along the lines of a reflash/intake and maybe exhaust, are the power gaines worth the money spent?

2) the power adapter under the glove box is not working. Any ideas on how to fix it? Is there an adapter made to convert the cigarette lighter to a poer supply?

3) Is there a reason the trunk lid takes more then normal amount of force to register as closed and latched?

4) other then the JL audio stealth box and bavarian motor works, who makes a custom sub enclosure? I saw a thread on here about a week ago with dimensions... I might just take those to a car audio shop and have it built(money would be paid to the original poster of course), unless there is a cheaper alternative.


Just want to thank you all in advance and say I think I am sold on the X series! I wish I had the money to afford the new X5 M Twin Turbo beast that will be coming out soon.
