My X & in neeed of some opinions!!!
 

OK...parts are here...so today I will get started on replacing the front diferential, by tomorow I should have it up and running :)

It has been sitting here since last week when they tow truck brought it home...

nothing wrong with the suspension just bad spot in the lawn...

First of all thanks to weasel56 for the info he has provided about his smoked tail lights...I want to get something similar to match the fronts :)

My next mod would be 20's and that is where I need some help and opinions. Any recomandations would be nice...I was thinking about powder coating my wheels...but I figured to keep them as a winter setup...and just go with something nicer...something that would not affect performance and consumption too much...Any help greatly appreciated :)

I'd blur out your license plate on the pic....

the reason i did not do the tails is because i cannot find tint to match the lights...on the fronts i have tint...not spray....

i was looking at the altezza smoked LEDs...some members have problems, some dont...

EDIT: just saw that u edited LOL...the reasson i dont blur it is because i really don't have to...or dont see a reason (i just might jinx myself LOL)

i don't think im that important for others to come after me LOL...if anyone from this forum does i'm buying the beers ;)

I need wheel advice LOL

that looks really good :) (the headlights)

How about an aero kit?

Yes....here is the help you need...quite a few of us just bit on this deal including myself just yesterday...I'm Rockin some 22's, but I could not pass up getting these reps in 20......read the link and you will notice that halfway down the first pasge MRBMWX5 left a link to eurotech.......hands down the best deals around right now! Jump on it, because there is a lawsuite from BMW against them for copyright infingement,,,,but that is a whole other story!

RR:thumbup:

I have been looking at those for a while ;) ...but just can't decide black or silver ... either way I am definitely getting them :)

Thanks

thanks in time it will come ;) lights, wheels...x-pipe maybe...then an aero kit

thanks :)

if u wanna wide rubber use factory sizes 20' rims w/ 315 on rear and 275 on fronts or factory size X5 2008 model 21' rims w/325 rear and 285 front. U can use after market wheels ,no harm and for a lot le$$ .Any 22' rims goes w/ narrow sizes 295 on the rear ...why should u? take care ..salut

Hehe mersi man :) I will stick with 20's 315 on rear and 275 fronts ;)

:iagree: .....but use factory sizes and products or replicas because it's hard to find other brands to mach the factory's off set ,very important.I have 4.6is and I'm looking for an upgrade from 20' w/315 to 21' w/325 but hard to find the rim that I like w/ the right off set .....no rush I like the way it looks anyway.Dont forget to get those angel eyes set ...that's a "must have" thing for any BMW.Bafta!

I am a little afraid to open up my lights...I just don't want to take the risk of messing up...this just tinting the headlights....but I could put AE...stick them to the waffles and still keep the tint....I would not clear the yellow..because its a white car...would not look as good ... will see what I can do :)

need wheels. not a fan of the headligh covers....enjoy

front diferential
 

why did u have to replace the front diferential....I'm asking cause I hear some klunking under my car every time I on/off the gas pedal at any speed and the tranfer case also the front drive shaft are new ...so what's left is thr front diferential.What were the troubleshoutings?

Is it just me or do the front grills look slanted? Could just be the angle of the picture. I also don't see the point of blurring your licence plate, when your on the street everyone can see it.

Only reason to blur out your plates would be if you going to do something illegal. BTW white looks really good on E53.
