Welcome to the forum.

For headlights, look into the depos. I'm not sure but I think they are projector HLs.

Not quite clear on the tail light problem. What's turning pink? Anyways, you could upgrade them to LED tails.

You could upgrade interior and/or exterior lights to LEDs. Like the side turn markers or license plate light.

You could add a rear spoiler lip.

You can replace the exhaust or do a resonator delete and add an x-pipe. Or better yet, remove the mufflers instead and leave the resonator.

You could lower your X with some lowering springs.

You could do a roof rail delete and even rear wiper delete.

Otherwise your X looks great already, especially with the 87s.

Have a look at some of the Articles and Tips&Tricks from the homepage for ideas.

For the electronic stuff, I have no idea. Try a search in the Mobile electronics forum too.

Good luck!

Wow, there is life in these forums!

Thanks for the reply TwinsPoppa, I too am a Twins Pop - Girls - 16 - God Help Me!!!!

Depos eh? That is the first and most mandatory. I'm finding upgrades are much harder to find compared to the E46 upgrades.

The lenses on the rears are fading.

I will look into the rest.

Thanks!!!!

leave the rails and rear wiper... get red bimmer roundels, black out the grills and remove the resonator.

with that one there maybe blacked out lights and such??? dunno. depos are definetly a good choice. i've had a set for over a year or so and they still look brand new and really updated the look of my X.

For the record, this is also my preference but wanted to give him his options.

The first thing I would do is the resonator delete or the mufflers delete. Every time I start up the X and that growl snaps - I love it!

... resonator delete or muffler delete? Please tell me more. Where do I find more info on this mod. Does it wake the neighbors?
