Yo.. looking to do some mods to my 2011 x5 3.5 sport.
Have been doing some research but need some help with clarifying a couple of things, thanks in advance.
PS. I will be posting DIY with pics for all of these mods that I will do, so extra info would be appreciated. I noticed there is not alot of diy for the e70 anywhere.
Springs: I don't have the auto level suspension and my x5 has the "super awesome" sport suspension delete
. How can you have a sport package with out sport suspsension. That makes no sense. Given that fact the car doesn't handle as well as my previous 2005 x5 which had the sport suspension included in the sport package. Will lowering sport springs such as H&R help with handling?
Reflectors: The stock yellow reflectors are just horrible, there is no words for them. My car is black, my options are paint or wrap the old reflectors, or buy new. Ebay does not have them for 2011+ x5, and the only others I found online were almost $100 (a bit pushing it for 2 pieces of plastic) Any suggestions on wrap, paint, or purchase?
Black Shifter trim and navigation control: I saw a 7 series at my mechanics that had a black instead of silver trim on the shifter, and the knob that controls the navi was black as well. Anybody have done this mod? looks much cooler then the silver trim. Any idea on how to go about it?
Bumber Mesh: What are your opinions on the bumper mesh in the front? I would like to paint it black to match the black grills. Paint on the car? Remove before paint?
Aero Kit: which bumper does it fit on? Anybody have a pic of a front bumper with out and with the kit side by side? Thoughts on the ebay version? What is the difference between the m-sport bumper and the regular sport bumper. Or am I confusing the sport and the x5m?
Angel Eyes: Mine are the ugly yellow color, would like to match the factory xenon. Which bulbs do you prefer?
