It was actually the Light Poplar wood previously

I'm much happier with it being 2 tone now instead of 3 tone, the silver trim and shift knob make it much more "sport line trim" to me

As for the rear lighting that is all stock with smd led white bulbs as replacements in all interior lights.

The only add ons were the oem rear footwell lights which might be what you are referencing, they did not come stock on my 03 but all E53 are wired for them, you just need 2 housings, 4 plastic nuts, and about 20 mins of time to fit them

Very nice RB :D Wondering if the tailgate piece is actually titanium or just colored? Or the mirror bands?

Anyways, just enjoyed and drove the X5 today. Too bad this is a no hunting area although I really wouldn't be too thrilled about strapping one on the hood or something :p:

Thanks X5inHI, and my tailgate piece is Topaz to match the car and my mirror trims are Shadowline to match my Sport Package trim, I think I'm all set with my silver balance haha.

Nice wild pigs you got there!

Just fitted a new Turbo pressure converter that had a vacuum leak and got full performance again :)

Did the upper oil pan gasket, CV boots, timing chain, guides, seals and thermostat. Thats another $2500 (making my total repairs near $9,000 for the last 12 months). Have 131k on the clock

Wow a bunch of interesting things have happened here since I last visited.

BC, those headlights look nice!

RB, that interior looks awesome and seeing a MT shifter in there, with that color combo, is perfect! haha

As for me, I replace my water pump and plastic pulley to the black aluminum one. Looks nice and I know I'll be good with those for a long while :thumbup:

Replaced my front rotors, pads and sensor. Meyle platinum rotors with Bosch quietcast pads. Great feeling of accomplishment and money savings. Rear full replacement coming this weekend.

Found a nail in the right rear tire. Too closed to the side. :( :angryfire :explode:

Tam, let me guess... the boss was driving the X! Mine has picked up 2 screws in the last 2 years in the same tire location... both cases had to replace practically new shoes! :(
