Hi, New 2011 xDrive50i Owner

Hi guys, I just purchased the above vehicle and the next think I wanted to do was join a forum of like minded individuals like this one here. I'm loving this car and the quick twin turbo v8.

I am a life long mechanic who recently stopped beating on cars to start a Drone business :)

After poking around here for a couple of days, I have a few questions.

1) - What do you guys recommend to change out the yellowish angel eyes?

2) - I would like to get the c/f headlight eyelids, but there are TONS of choices, are they all the same, are some thicker/better than others ??

3) - I wanted lighted door sills, but my e70 doesn't even have any ??

Thanks in advance for any "hellos", or suggestions about mods :thumbup:

1) - What do you guys recommend to change out the yellowish angel eyes? Lux Angel Eyes makes a whiter bulb that is plug & play -

Thank you very much for the suggestions.
I had seen replacement bulbs for only $20, and knew they probably weren't what you guys are using.

Anyone have any ideas on pad & rotors, Im going to have to paint the calipers too, what are you guys using ??

thx

Thank you very much :)

What about the fog lights?

Anyone on here that can steer me to a "Mods" thread ? (I would really like to know what you guys all think the best mods are) :)
