New European member (X5 3.0d)
 

Hi to all,
I have been reading this forum for quite some time yet, and I think it is time to post my car here too:). I own a sapphire black X5, 3.0d (pre-facelift), purchased in december 2003. Since I loved the 4.6is look, I completely transformed my car into a 4.6 (except the engine of course). I wished I could afford a real 4.6, but the taxes here in Belgium (not to speak of the fuel prices), are very high, so you hardly see one here ( I have seen 1 in 2 years time).

So I added OEM 20inch Type 87 rims, flare extensions front and rear, bought a complete 4.6 front bumper (drilling the holes for the lower spoiler was a real pain), and added the rear bumper spoiler.

Next upgrades will be :

- OEM BMW bleutooth
- TV on Nav TV module

For this last one, I am still investigating some things. I think that the european version of the TV module is the same as the one TVonNav sells. Not to sure about that though.

job well done!! :) Are the disels have hideaway pipes?

Looks good!!! That's my next mod - the 87's. I can't wait..........probably in about 2 months.

:welcome: Beautifully done. The 4.6is kit looks very nice but you need some exhaust tips. Add that to your Christmas Wish List. :D

Thanks for a the nice comments. The exhaust tips are indeed hidden behind the rear bumper. I'll put it on my christmas wish list:)

Hans welcome :thumbup:
