First Mod on 06 x5 4.4i
This is my first ever mod to my 2006 x5 4.4i. She has 96k miles on her and I've had her for one year. Started off simple due to this being my first BMW and I have zero knowledge essentially of automotives. I removed the rear wiper blade for a cleaner look. I have never used it and saw another post where they removed theirs and I loved the look. The work itself was very simple and took me less than 30 minutes to complete start to finish. The hardest part was removing the trim by popping out the pins. Just didn't want to break them. Needing options for oem parts to fill the hole in the window. I reused two parts from the original assembly to fill it currently but it stick up and I'm wanting a flush look. Any thoughts advice or comments is well appreciated!! Next mod will probably be headlights so any affordable angel eye mods is also appreciated!!

Wink
He may be stepping on his network cable and squeezing out crucial bytes of data. Could you please let the bytes through, so we can view your awesome pic?

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
There are a couple members here who got a few free samples (see the rear wiper delete thread its on page 1), and who might send you one for free. I got 2 samples last year but I fudged one up so the one in my glass is the last one I have, it fits flush. You could also use this as a member just put one on (in the same thread I referenced), for $30:

Rear Wiper Delete Plug, Mk4/Mk5/Mk6 Golf/GTi and B5/B6/B7/B8 Wagons

Here she is all cleaned up. I don't know what it is about washing a car but it just makes it seem to drive better :-)
