A Thanks to This Forum & Some Pics After Detail
 

Wanted to say Thanks All! For all the information, suggestions, and help.

I have had my car for a year now, and since I stumbled upon this site this has happened.

AC style Pedals
LED License Plate Bulbs
Titanium Gauge Trim Rings Thanks to a member
X-Pipe Resonator Delete
HID Fog Lights
Set of 17" Dedicated Snows
Dice iPhone Interface
Front Skid Plate
Chrome Exhaust Tips
Dinan CAI

I still want the Dinan Software Upgrade and maybe some 214's or 215's

I just got done with a two day detail. First I clay bared, then waxed with Zymol, then did my trim with Back to Black. It was rewarding.

I really like this car.

Very nice

Looks really good! I never thought of doing the stuff to my X5 til I stumbled on this site too, now I am hooked.

good looking X...

Nothing looks better than a clean and waxed black X, but nothing looks worse than a dirty black X. Nice Job and I know what you mean about rewarding. What Zymol wax did you use?

I am also new to the site and to having an X altogether. I bought a 2006 X5 for the wife, however I like driving it more than my new car. Where exactly did you find the front skid plate? I really like your set-up. I also had planned to put the exhaust tips on hers, however the only place I found them was on ebay for $400. Did you find a better price? Thanks in advance....Jamie

looks awesome! my X needs a detail ... :D

The tips and skid plate are OEM. Here are the tips I got. BMW X5 4.4 EXHAUST TIPS SET OF 4 OEM E53:eBay Motors (item 160355916592 end time Sep-13-09 15:16:22 PDT). They are for a 4.4.

You have to hunt around for the best price on the skid plate.

It was Zymol Cleaner/Wax Z-503

a freshly detailed black car always looks awesome. great job!

Thanks

Great looking X! 214s would be a nice upgrade. Even if you didn't do another thing, it would still look outstanding.... If only mine were black! I love black X5s!

IMO, wheel upgrade will be the most rewarding mod anybody can give their X as far as looks are concerned. ;pervert;

Very nice and enjoy it man! :)

What year is your X? 01? 02?

'01, had 58k when I bought it. 80k now.

Skiboats - the X is looking great

Can't beat a good wax job on any of our X's, no matter what the colour (IMO). Looks great, well done.
Good call also on the rim upgrade. For our brethren who may not know them, below are style 214's and 215's to the right.

looks great! need some exhaust tips asap as well.
were those pictures taken in ny?

Yes, at Erie Basin Marina, downtown Buffalo, a real nice spot.
