Well i picked her up standard 4.0d with the following spec

Dynamic pack

top view
side view camera
comfort access
soft close doors
DAB
Individual Audio
active cruise control
HUD
Privicy glass
fold in mirrors
blah blah blah


so within the first week i did the following

so I have had the x6 for over a week and the time came to start modding

had the wheels sprayed sap black paint code 475
12mm spacers rear
5mm spacer up front
fitted the bbk up front 405mm floating discs 10 pot calipers
fitted the bbk rear 380mm floating discs 8 pot calipers
HAd the brakes painted porker single green (same as the GT but I had pearl added to the lacquar so in the sun they look yum)
ordered some m6 RPI scoops (modded them to fit and also had then sprayed)
Gloss black front grill
LED reg plate lights and also replaced all of the interior lights
replaced the BMW badges with Black BMW badges
lowered on H and R springs (i'll post up pics of how i did that)







After a few weeks i ordered the following

VRS front carbon lip
X6M front bumper
BMW performance side skirts and rear diffuser
I also decided to have all the matt plastic sanded down and colour coded

So £1500 lighter I am now the proud owner of this VRS for the x6m front bumper! pure sex


BMW kit and bumper



first coat of sap black going on

Few more coats don't be shy lamp it on phil

front bumper painted (the VRS is just placed on top it wellbe fitted once the bumper has been de nibbed and mopped)

few other bits
the side skirts come in 2 pieces so the long piece you see is the part that is normally colour coded
The grills for the bumper (and under the bonnet) were also colour coded)

The textured parts were then sanded down by me ready for phil to high build primer. Theses parts are not normally colour coded but I think there look much better once they are done. the wheel sarches well be stripped tomorrow for the same treatment. The wings and bonne well also be taken off tomorrow ready for paint. The car well comeout spotless :-)


I'll be busy tomorrow undoing all the fidly bolts to get the wings out!


The rear end, this is actually quite easy lots of 8mm bolts and clips. In order to remove the out bits of the rear diffuser your have to remove the rear wheel arch trim as there is one plastic rivit there. Also the rivits are one use only so have a new set ready cheap as chips from BMW. To remove the wheel arch trim your need a trim tool, once the rivits are out you cant reuse them. Remember to remove the PDC etc from the rear trims

For the front bumper remove the 8mm bolts on the bottom and there are 2 on the inner arch. Once theses are undone pull on the bumper and it can be removed. remember to disconnect the fog lamps, side view camera PDC loom etc etc. Please note remove the front reflector on the side of the bumer there is an 8mm bolts behind it


Side skirts. One torx 25 screw (plastic) at the bottom of the front side skirts. The resr are plastic pusher just pull on the bottom of the side skirt there pop out. once theses are out open the doors and pull the side skirts off (there are held in with white plastic clips. Again have spare ones from BMW.

to remove the wing this is more involved. First remove the inner shit guards (about 20 8mm and 10mm bolts!). Once removed I jet washed mine lol

The headlight is bolted to wing. There are sone other bolts (remove the windscreen side trim there is a philps bolt there). The other bolts are on the top of the wing, open the drivers door to access the inner bolts. The other one is on the side of the headlight you rneed a right angle screew driver or similar tool as its a bitch of a torx to get to. YOur also need a bucket to drain the washer flud. The drivers side wing is more difficult then the passanger side due to the washer bottle.
There you have it one wing

I didnt have time to remove the bonnet, My bodyshop well do that on Monday as I have stripped the most time consuming stuff off. Its such great fun stripping your car lol.

below is a pic with it stripped :-)



after 1.5 weeks it was time to put it back together:-) The results are below


Front end shot

another front end

Front arch trimed and painted

Performance side skirts (the part sticking out is normally painted I got the whole lot done

Rear end

Rear arch colour coded


Next up was the exhaust big thanks to guys at pro fusion custom I know a few guys have had their exhaust systems done by them and they have done all the exhausts on my previous BMW.
I'll get pics of the system under the car but basically its 3.5inch all the way (with a box) and then splits out to the quads, the noise is much the same as before, (however under load it sounds amazing). I can remove the DPF and get it coded out but I dont think i'll do that.
I had to buy the trims that you require if you want to fit the BMW square tips,hence the delay.
Anyway here are the pics:-
staggered pipes

now the reason the pipes point up wards is so that they follow the line of the rear bumper...having them stright just looked crap!

rear end

another view

The system is all polished from underneath so i'll get it in the air for better pics.
The car seems to pull more but that may just be me lol!

My new security system is also in place lol



I posted this up on x drivers but forgot to do it here lol!

Next up is ICE and i'll put on my 22" rims in summer :-)
