Upgrade/Mod suggestions?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am looking for a few suggestions for new upgrades or modifications to do to my 2002 X5 4.4i. This is so much fun!
I've had it for about 1 month and I already bolted on a Bull Bar, installed an OEM 6 CD changer (using 7 CD's now is great!), just had the rear windows tinted 20% last weekend, swapped out the center console bin, and just ordered 20" staggered AFS 4.6 replica rims on ebay.
I would like to hear of highly recommended upgrades as well as things to avoid doing.
Thank you all.

hot! PM me and let me know when u get those wheels, im interested to hear about the quality of those...i have to replace my rear ones, was thinking of getting it from them also...
running side boards is a must imo!

So very true. This forum has put too many mod ideas in my head. Its going to drain my wallet.

here it goes
they're all in priority order (just my opinion)

1. angel eyes with waffles/reflector removed with either solaris invisibulbs/stealthbulbs... solaris has is really not that bright so you might be better sticking with stealthbulbs..
2. chrome rings for gauge (do 4.4 already have those? i have a 3.0i so i wouldnt know)
3. rims (ac schnitzer, maya, oem rims, hartge, etc...)
4. sound system (if you have premium w/ dsp, get better subwoofer..standard sound system needs the whole system converted to something else...)
5. aerokit (4.6is oem aerokit, hamann kit, ac schnitzer kit, etc)
6. aftermarket exhaust (eisenmann, ac schnitzer, dinan, remus, etc)
7. intake kit (better vroom!)
8. supercharger (lol i want one but its too pricy)

Thanks to all for the suggestions! I had no idea this would be so much fun! I put AMG 18" rims on my Benz, and that was it. Got bored, and traded it in (without the rims, of course. They will end up on ebay soon). There just seems to always be something for the X5. So cool!

As far as the AFS rims go, I will have them in a few days. I believe DrewX5 has them as well. He said the Embossed words around the center cap are just like the OEM rims except they have one word that says "BWM" instead of "BMW".

I'd vote for the M steering wheel retrofit first, aluminum running boards second, and SuperGreg's nonsmoker ash tray third. ValentineOne and StealthOne are pretty cool, too. Edit: Forgot to also recommend chrome gauge rings for the instrument cluster. Definitely cool.

Good luck with your new ride.
