New member and need some exterior help
 
I currently have the ac schnitzer front and rear bumper on a 01 x5. I was debating whether i should get the oem aero kit with the current setup or do the 2004 front end conversion with the aero kit. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I currently have
ac schnitzer bumper (front and rear)
ac schntizer exhaust
two tone angel eyes
painted side trim
custom audio/video (mostly alpine and mbquart)
hamann roof spoiler
stoptech BBK (front and rear)
HRE 640R 22" set
HRE 647R 22" set
HID fogs
coilovers

If you could post some pics of what it currently looks like then it may be easier to give some advice.

Very tasteful X5. I say do the 04+ front end with aero kit bumper.

I think it look good the way it is....Maybe some more performance mods?

It looks great the way it is, but if gonna make some changes, do the +4 look with aero kit.

Damn that looks pretty awsome...the acs kit is so much more unique then the oem kit....I like it the way it is!

Looks perfect the way it is...like everyone else have said, the ACS kit is more unique than the OEM kit. Besides, I'm not that much of a fan of the wide plastic fenders on the OEM kit. Just add the running board and you should be set...at least on the looks department! :thumbup:

:xoutpost: Another vote for leaving it just the way it is. You've put together a very clean and unique X5. I actually think the OEM aero kit will make it look pudgy. If there is one thing you could do to satisfy your mod bug and make a functional and aesthetic difference would be add the OEM aluminum running boards. It'll look great with what you've got now. :thumbup:

i wanted to make it a widebody, but seeing what my other options are.
 
seems like i should leave it as is. I'm going to have the wheel wells gutted because with the coilovers, the front is rubbing. the other set of wheels stick out in the front and there is rubbing in the rear. thus have an option of gettin spacers for the rear and custom fenders. the conversion facelift is slowly growing on me. i'll think about it, but thanks again for the input
