e70 mods!!!

Now that the e70s are out, I'm sure the mods will start flying fast. What are everyone's list of 'to-do's'?

Here's my top 5 (obviously, I'd still have to get one first):
1) Get rid of that hideous amber front reflector - I'm still awaiting a solution for my e92, and there's few options so far other than just painting them. However, nobody can seem to get the damn thing off!
2) Hitch
3) 20s, but not sure of which style rim yet. hopefully something that looks similar to 87s.
4) iPod integration
5) axxis brake pads (hopefully they are available)

1. Aero-kit (release date still unknown for the US and the rest of the world - it seems that it is only available for Canada at this stage)
2. wheel style 214 (not sure if it works with double wishbone suspension setting - still wondering whether there is any difference between the suspension setting for adaptive drive and sport suspension)
3. adjustiable ride height (need to wait till Model Year 08 hopefully)
4. paddle shifters (need to wait till Model Year 08 hopefully)

I wonder how much the above OEM mods would cost? If it is going to bring the price close to a M5 (which starts at about $82-83k), then who would get this X5 apart from those who wants the 3rd row. Even with the 4.8 v8 bi-turbo, it shouldn't be as expensive as the v-10 M5 not to mention that the one we are seeing is only a 4.8 v8, imo.
