First mods on 06 4.4
 
Wheels
I decided on going with replica 168s for wheels. Eurotech looks like the best company out right now for these. does anyone else have any experience with other companies that sell these wheels I would appreciate your feedback good or bad.

Exhaust
Im using my Dinan exhaust. But im gonna cut off the original dinan tips and replace them with stock 4.8 exhaust tips like jan did on his 4.6. I like the sound of the dinan but i like the look of the 4.8 tips.

Lighting
Im putting on clear euro headlight assemblies

Under the hood
Dinan cold air
Dinan Strut bar
I want camber plates but dinan doesnt make them for air suspension X5s

Body kit
Im going oem 4.8 kit all around. No more aero kit. Im not sure if I will reinstall the underride bar. probably not. I am going to sell it. I just decided that i dont like having all that extra weight right over the front wheels like that. I think it makes the front end push alot more in corners and upsets the weight distribution too much. That thing is heavy as hell. Probably close to 75lbs. Thats alot of weight right over the front tires.

Those are my first round of mods. Im gonna do a rearview cam and possibly tv tuner and dvd player

How did you know. that guy is my idle. what happened to daddy warbucks anyway i havnt seen him on here in a while.
Seriously though. with my M cars when it comes to mods im always power first everything else second. But with the X5 its about looks and sound first power last. I mean no matter what i don to my X5 at most it will be as fast as my stock M cars. So whats the point. Plus for a truck the X5 is plenty fast
