Thanks,

Yes those running boards are sure nice feature set for the X5. Even a better score when the previous owner had them installed as original equipment. They are readily available it will just take a few BMW $ to get all the related components. Still a worthwhile upgrade.:thumbup:

Much appreciated. Took a decent amount of time to select this particular wheel style/size/fitment. Got a smoking deal on them too during a Black Friday deal as they are currently running $1000 more than I paid for them. :yikes:

Joseph - I also got the "Taiwan special" knock off ACS roof spoiler a few years back, color matched in Topaz Blue, shipped, for $120 or so. Phenomenal subtle mod and the paint match is excellent. Thoroughly pleased with it and it adds a nice touch to the X.

It's very subtle but extremely cool looking. The Ebay seller did a pretty darn good paint job as well for only $125 total. Bought the fakey Schnitzer logos from another seller for another $10. I'm digging it...

Absolutely love the lip. You mentioned you're using mounting tape, da? Any prep or concern about the paint under?

Did some coding on pa Soft. Comfort closing, seatbelt warning, and some others.
I tried to start a subforum about pa Soft since I didn't find one on this e53 forum. Not sure why I can't

No prep other than IPA wipe down under spoiler. Clean X5's paint but no IPA... wanted to leave wax to aid in removal if ever desired, though I doubt the spoiler will ever be removed. It certainly isn't going anywhere without some effort with a heat gun that's for sure.

Totally agreed RB. Cheap and subtle mod that makes a big difference visually.

ehc?
Edit: electronic height control, got it. I'm not sure. There is an option for air suspension, but mine does not have air. Coding HC probably involves editing the EEPROM. I'm not sure if it has been done.
