The 4.6is's had projector fogs? Why do they delete good shit for better/newer models?

Thats really one of my petpeeves is they do something good and take it away, it might be minor but i really notice and like the little stuff.

Pat, that MRBMW forte ..he takes shit apart and brings them to life....lol....:nanana::nanana:

he is the one with ONLY 2 projector on headlights......:thumbup::thumbup:

Oh, i see now, didnt take notice to projectors in highbeams above.... But even tmv above, fogs look like projector also... His is 3.0 too.

2000-2003 ..you can play and easily mod those headlights as they come apart easily....as with 2004-2006..they are a little bit hard..but X5snd made his happen changing his AE's to a brighter LED ones.....

Not so much interested in projector in the "highbeam" spot,

More interested why they would get rid of projector fogs... I guess i can always do mine in the future, good retrofit projectors for the fogs is like $100 and fogs shouldnt be too hard to mod.

Are you talking about the inner projector on mrbmwx5 headlights? that is his custom work he made a custom high beam.

If you refer to the lower fog light housings, yes up until 2002 all X5's came with projector fog light housings taking an H3 bulb. 2003 (mine did) and above including facelift models have reflector fog light housing taking H11 bulb.

I'd like to retrofit projector fog light housings down the line when I get the money to do so, I had projector fogs on my VW and loved that my D2S/fogs were projector housings, nothing but clean sharp cutoff of light!

Don't know why they got rid of them, but yes tmv has a 2001 so he has the old projector fog lights, you can find them on ebay for about 130 for the pair of factory housings.

However you could always take your stock ones and do a Morimoto mini or similar retrofit :)

Yeah thats what i was thinking with the minis.

Dont care at the moment but it is one of those little things ill do in the future... Just dont like that companies do that little stuff thinking no one will notice! Lol

'01 3.0 5 spd...only mod was going from Style 69 18" wheels to oe Style 132 staggered 19s. And, a set of very rare BMW center cap spinners, :D

Very nice :thumbup:

No, But i most certainly can make one. I think it sounds nice, its kind of raspy, sounds a bit like a clap, hard to explain, but very nice and smooth when driving yet RAW when i rev it.

Ill try to take one today.

Shang, love those wheels!

My pic is my old CRF i blew up. Now its the 11' YZ450f on the back :)

OOOPS Wrong Forum

hey I was curious as to what wheel/tire and suspension setup you are running on the black 4.8.

Tires are continental DwS 315-35-20 rear... 275-40-20 front... Rims are custom made for me.. 10.5 front and 11.5 -12" back i bliv.. Its on Air suspension dropped to 26.25" from lip rim to flares
Tires are brand new so may look alot lower than usual due to more thread


Thanks man..

More pics please??? did you repaint it to dakar?
