X5 4.8i AC Schnitzer

Been lurking, learning, and reading for the past week since I began considering purchasing. Great informative forum. This is my 3rd BMW after a 2 year departure so it was nice to be back! Here's what it has:

OEM stuff: Alpine White/Blk, Dark Bamboo trim, Premium, Sport, Technology Packages, 3rd row, ipod.

Aftermarket: AC Schnitzer front & rear apron, 22" Type IV, ACS exhaust, pedals, and i-drive wheel. Painted wheel well trim & running boards which I think really makes it look much cleaner.

Surprisingly rides pretty smooth with the 30 series tires. Only gripe is the NAV...either that or I've got to actually read the manual.

Planning on a low profile stealth subwoofer enclosure and TV monitors, but the headrest cushion is too small...any suggestions?

On order: Angel Eye & Fog lamp GP 8500K bulbs, cf roundels, clear corner reflector, ext/int white LEDs, cargo mat, and tint later this week. Considering doing a light tint on the tail lamps and rear reflectors. Can any photo choppers out there to give me a hand?

Looks great, you should also paint white the side molding and mirrors !

Agreed. Maybe when I accumalate a few more bumper rock chips, I'll do it all at once.

I actually like the idrive knob as it is a mini version of the type IV rims.

Thanks for the warm reception, hope to contribute to this forum!

It's for this baby:

Thanks. It's actually an embroidered piece, much like a jersey, which is why I had it framed.

Since this photo, I've added PSS9's and dropped it 1/4" more in the front + a VFE supercharger + a few more go fast, sound loud, and look good mods.

Now I've got to get a roundel wall hanging!
