Finally got my X5....soooooo sweeeet
 

I'm not sure why anyone modifies the exhaust on the 4.8is, it sounds so nice...I love it. I think I need the Dinan strut bar though, I'm so used to the handling of my 545i that the X5 sways a little bit in turns...but still amazing ride and handling for an SUV.
So now for the mods...I have Nav and bluetooth and sliding load floor. I've ordered the following:
titanium trim
aftermarket running boards
gray roundels
remote radar detector/laser jammer

What else do I need? Definitely need Sirius radio, DVD player and headrest monitors for kids, window tinting, roof rack for surfboards, and a speaker upgrade...a little dissapointed with the stereo.

What else? What Sirius upgrade do you guys recommmend? OEM? How are the rear wheel spacers? Any performance problems/warranty issues?

I'm not so sure about the load floor...it takes up some space for golf clubs. Can it be removed?

Thanks for everyones help, this site has been great. A huge help with purchasing my first X5. My older brother has had his for 2 years, 3.0 manual. And my younger brother was all set to make an offer on an Infiniti FX45, so I took him to test drive a few X5's, and he bought his 4.4 three days later. No comparison in quality. Hopefully he's not too jealous when he takes a ride in my 4.8!!:rofl:

I'm trying to post some premod pics...:tantrum:

Congratulations! Have fun!

TV on Nav? Dice?

Pics - '05 4.8is Silver/black:thumbup:

i included the interior and running boards premods

I'm thinking about these wheels in 20" or 21"...

It looks great, I would suggest a IPOD/HD radio adapter.

what sirius kit do i need to get??

Great pics..keep the whees you have..
Are you going to Sunfest? Where in tampa are you?

go to your bmw dealer and ask them to lower it.. since u have air suspension they can hook it up to their computer and lower it just a bit

Welcome. Great ride! Glad you were able to convince your brother too. Give the load floor a chance, I use mine quite a bit.

Congrats!!! Sweet ride :thumbup:
