This site has some cool E53 accessories - Bimmian

I used to shop at bimmian but after they wouldnt replace a carbon fiber grill and seeing how they handled it I would not buy here. Sure they got good products but the customer service (for me at least) was below avg. Stay away from the CF parts cause they will get ruined and they are outsourced which makes it a greater headache.

I just talked them into doing a group buy for the illumnated shifters. if we can get 10+ the price is $110 each plus shipping. I am going to make a separate thread to gauge interest!!!

Got my roundels the other day. They shipped very fast, really sets my bimmer apart from most i see on the road

Figured it would be appropriate to post this here: Schmiedmann - Styling/Tuning/Spare parts for BMW X5 (E53) - New parts

They have a number of things I haven't seen elsewhere...Including everything from black chrome grilles to everything you need to do some radical color changes to your cluster.

Being Canadian, it is nice to have a vendor that is local. This cuts down on shipping costs and no duties. Their selection is very good.

On to the negative, products that are widely available from other vendors are typically good quality however some items such as their M3 shift paddles were poorly machined. The edges had burrs on them and were not finished well. Their customer service is below average to poor. Without going into extensive details, make sure you read the return policy and adhere to it. Once you are outside of it, they do not demonstrate a willingness to work with you and appear to value the one transaction over the relationship with the customer.
