Just picked up an 2004 X5 4.4i looking to give it some roar
quite a few maintenance Item such:
- valve stem job
- 0 Sensors
- replaced Purge Valve
- updated 4.8 Cluster (white LED's, Black face plate, mileage correction) * tb installed

some upgrades to:
- ECS Angel eyes Xenon white bulbs
- 4.8 rear exhaust setup (Piping , Mufflers, and tips)
- Under carriage guard rail
- OEM 19" in staggered wheels with run flats
- Schmeidmann front tower strut Brace tb installed

Mods in progress :

- Dinan TB upgrade
- Dinanantronics Stage 3
- AFE Cold Air intake stage 2
- front and rear Aerodynamics bumper

I am now realizing that the N62 engine has a very limited option in terms of performance mods out there. Can anyone suggest something I might not have mentioned very new to the BMW world and aside from selling this and trying to find a clean 4.8 or Dinan Modded out X5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

4-Wheel alignment after installing Hardrace rear adjustable camber arms

Nice! So you didn't need the hardrace adj toe arms?

Correct!

In my situation thankfully I didn't need the toe arms :thumbup:

I decided to tackle my "check rear lights" warning finally, after a year of ownership. I thought I would surely see fried bulb sockets. After approximately 30 seconds of diagnostic work, I discovered that one brake bulb and socket were missing entirely. Bought a new bulb and socket and now we are good to go. ��

I might have to do that. My last alignment report was all red in the rear. Have a link for the adjustable arms?
