To Mod or not to Mod

My general view is that a lot of mods really do not improve the car.

BMW is a very high end company and if a Mod made the car better they would add it to the stock car.


Cars today are very refined machines and in most case you are better with the stock car.

Please list the mods that you think improves the car and the cost of the mod.

as you showed your general view/opinions,
we are sharing ours here also,

I think you just don't like ppl who've done on their car whatever they like cuz maybe it's doesn't fit your taste?

No one is attaking you, and it really depends how you think our opinions.
for me, that your greneral view is attacking my feeling about mods that I've done and going on.

Are you trying to stir the pot? :

Two comments:

BMW, and other high end car manufactureres, do create some incredible cars but there are always things that can be improved upon. BMW doesn't always roll out the perfect product. That is quite an understatement. An example of this is how European manufacturers have to meet US regulations for bumper height so they simply jack up the car with taller springs at the expense of both looks and performance. There are always ways a car can be made better than stock. Rememner that manufacturers including BMW make products that have to appeal to the mass market and meet regulations. Some design decisions are made purely to appease the masses or to reduce production costs, not because it makes the product better.

Many mods are done because we like doing them. They are totally subjective and done because we enjoy them and want to make our rides a little more personalized. I don't think any of us would claim that any of our mods make the X5 extraordinarily better but they can make it more enjoyable and in some cases, like brake pads, camber plates, tires, shocks, springs, etc can help performance. We're not trying to reinvent the X5. We're just fine tuning it.

To mod or not to mod, that is the question???
It all depends on the owner, some people are happy w/ just owning a BMW, but when you are a member of a BMW site, such as this, all the mods that people post and talk about just make you an addict to modding so it takes your car to another dimension.
I love to spend extra money on my X5 because I enjoy making it different.
