Road Trip/ Updated Mods... *PICS*

[AlecX5]

Hey guys,

Over the weekend I took a road trip from Chicago to New York. The X handled great with the 1k plus road trip. No issues and drove perfect the whole time!
-Well there was one issue which was due to user error, regarding an 82mph speeding ticket in a 65mph throughway and a not so friendly New York State Trooper.

Anyway, my new mods are ECS tuning SE LeMans wheel arches, window tint (30%-back windows & rears, 50%-front windows), 2011 BMW Nav disk, and full suspension and camber alignment (currently lowered on KW coilovers with replaced shocks and OEM style 177s)
- Summer plans include 4.6 front lip (i'll make it fit) and 4.8 rear add-on.

Thanks Pewters, mrbmwx5, dpgx5 and TwinsPoppa for the Arch help! R&N Bavarian in Chicago was great in doing a full pre-road trip check with fluids and lights changed/checked and joints greased, I can't say enough about this indy....


Here's the pics...last one is pre wheel arches. Sorry for the sh1tty Blackberry pics.

Yup.. The 4.6iS front spoiler fit over the face-lift model bumper just like we fitted them on our pre-facelift..
Your X look great.

agreed. Its a lot cheaper than buying a full 4.8is front bumper. i was thinking of doing the same

i saw someone here do it on a facelift, i wonder if i can find that thread

Did you have to remove the rear bumper to install the lower flares?

Thanks Mr, Indi and Yii.

Yeah Naz, the 4.6 add-on is definitely the most economical way to go, and in my opinion 99.9% of people and even car enthusiasts can't even tell the difference b/w the 4.6 add-on with facelift and the 4.8 full front. Yeah that's the link...Hp99hps confirmed the fitment.


TQ2K- I did NOT remove the rear bumper, or wheels or drummel slits in the rear. I followed MrBMWx5's instructions and they worked perfectly without compromising durability/support. Here's his link:
DIY..How to install the rear bumper supports and flairs.
Whole job took me about an hour...

I got to get those headlight washers. Does anyone know if they make just the ''mock'' washer that you can glue/stick onto the bumper, i find they give a more aggressive look to the car.
