LOL... woops. Brakes even. :D

Those are Range Rover Super Charged Brembo calipers on the front of the X. He also used 380mm Range Rover front rotors to make the brake kit. I plan on making this transformation over the thanksgiving Christmas break. Its an awesome low budget (In comparison to brembo brake kit for E53) upgrade.

Thanks for the info. I will be looking for a thread on it... hopefully :)

same extra photos with new wheels

^ That wheel well vent :wow: !

Ok I applaud you on sharing you X5 4.6is but where are the pictures of the upgrades that you did on the vehicle particularly the gun metal repainting of the wheels. Need some after pictures:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Was thinking the same thing. :D

Sorry gents, my apologies. I xreated the post after dusk last night. I'll update here in a moment.

Yes I promise to provide a full story with write-up once I get all of my components assembled for the mod.

Thanks are are looking forward to it. By the way did you have the rims powder-coated with the gunmetal when refinishing?

I actually used duplicolor graphite metallic grey, I wanted a glimpse at what it would look like before powdercoating. It's held up very nice without any issues thus far.

There is place behind Classic BMW that does powdercoating. Last time I spoke with him the cost was $125 per wheel with one day turnaround. I decided to use Plasti Dip since I wasn't sure I would like the wheels in any color than original. That was 3 years ago and they still look good. I have done some minor repairs but am amazed how well they have held up.

Wow these look pretty good ! :thumbup::wow:

Please excuse the dirty X5.

^Very nice 4.6, I like the wheels.
No center caps though?

One came off when I was power washing the wheels, so I have a new set on order.

^That's a cool looking color. Have more pictures of it in better lighting?

Suspension has now settled after a complete overhaul front and rear- she now drives like a dream :thumbup: H&R lowering springs front, Bilstein touring shocks and every other suspension component changed except the rear subframe bushings. All done in my garage without a lift :D

Now that looks GREAT!

Clean wheel barrels too!

Hellz yes. That looks awesome! :thumbup:

That right rear wheel stands out like a sore thumb, once you notice it. :p:

That's no lie, still can't believe that I did that...
