I'm Back

[Vincenzo Veyron]

I havent been on this site much since getting a lot of great ideas for my E53 back in 2008 (i have a 2005 X5 that I get compliments on regularly). I just got a 2011 E70 50i and I'm hoping to make a few nice mods to enhance its appearance/performance. if anyone has any ideas i'm all ears!

that's a good shade of tint for that blue - is it 35%? Other than maybe spacers to give it an even more aggressive stance, maybe the LCI aero kit.

im not sure exactly what tint was used. i asked the install tech to match the front windows to the back. thx for the ideas. the aero kit on your x5 looks sick!

BMW Performance kidneys and painted reflectors will really clean up the look
both are great looking X5's
Spacers and perhaps a drop? if you want a more aggressive look

all fairly inexpensive mods that will make a big difference IMO

thx euro! im going to look into spacers and the performance grill.

when you see them side by side, the older ones are the size of
an X3. The LCI X5 and F15 have a nice stance. Especially with
20"s

that's monaco blue right? Are you sure you want to make the aero kit a different color?

its actually platinum grey. i forgot to mention that i am going to swap the wheels from the 2005 x onto the 2011 after i have them powder coated black. i think the black aero kit might look nice with the black performance kidneys, the tinted windows and black rims. can you see it?

Please post pics! I've been searching for other PG e70's to get inspiration.
I'm in the same phase right now. While I didn't get a 50i I joined the diesel crew with a 2011 X35d. So far I've added TSW nurburgring 22" Gunmetal finish. Next on the list will be 1) JBD 2) Grill & spacers 3) Kit or molding color match.

i'll continue to post pics of any mods i make. my wife isnt a big fan of the aero kit so i might not do it and i think the ferric gray wheels look ok so im not going to coat the wheels black. i probably wont change the grill either since im not doing the wheels. only thing left for me are the weisslicht angel eye upgrade, painted reflectors, dinan stage 2 and spacers. which spacers are you going to use?
