Hi, New 2011 xDrive50i Owner
Hi guys, I just purchased the above vehicle and the next think I wanted to do was join a forum of like minded individuals like this one here. I'm loving this car and the quick twin turbo v8.

I am a life long mechanic who recently stopped beating on cars to start a Drone business

After poking around here for a couple of days, I have a few questions.

1) - What do you guys recommend to change out the yellowish angel eyes?

2) - I would like to get the c/f headlight eyelids, but there are TONS of choices, are they all the same, are some thicker/better than others ??

3) - I wanted lighted door sills, but my e70 doesn't even have any ??

Thanks in advance for any "hellos", or suggestions about mods

Jim

1) - What do you guys recommend to change out the yellowish angel eyes? Lux Angel Eyes makes a whiter bulb that is plug & play -

2) - I would like to get the c/f headlight eyelids, but there are TONS of choices, are they all the same, are some thicker/better than others ?? N/A

3) - I wanted lighted door sills, but my e70 doesn't even have any ?? BMW made an OEM illuminated door sills for E70, check this thread out and post #5 for DIY: Installing Illuminated Door Sills on BMW X5 E70

ECS: $506.50
Tischer:$495
BMW Fairfax:$452.40

Thanks in advance for any "hellos", or suggestions about mods

Thank you very much for the suggestions.
I had seen replacement bulbs for only $20, and knew they probably weren't what you guys are using.

Anyone have any ideas on pad & rotors, Im going to have to paint the calipers too, what are you guys using ??

thx
Jim

Thank you very much

What about the fog lights?

Anyone on here that can steer me to a "Mods" thread ? (I would really like to know what you guys all think the best mods are)
