Greetings from Romania - BMW X5 4.8i
 

Hello guys, let me introduce my car
2009 production E70 X5 4.8i, sapphire black at exterior, at the interior black Nevada perforated leather, dark bamboo, fully loaded. I bought the car at 0 km from America and shipped it to me in Romania. Initially the car was stock at the exterior, but a week ago I went to a friend's garage and personalized my car:D. We mounted the Aero-Kit, painted the wheels in black, also painted the front grills in matte-black, removed the roof-rails. Next week I will mount a Sebring exhaust. I`m planning to mount an Cold Air Intake, but I can`t find one for my model:(. And an extra 25-30bhp will be added after re-mapping the cars chip.
Hope you like it

PS: sorry for my bad english:D

Nice.................

Lot's of power as well in that one..:)

That is badass. Good job, love it. Congrats on your new ride and welcome to Xoutpost.com. :thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome. Hope that I can find usefull info here, and also help members if I can.

That's one badass perpetrator...nice work..... :thumbup:

nice - I wish I had a friend's garage like that.

a video with my stock exhaust, and 2 photos with my interior (sorry for the bad quality, i didn`t had my camera with me so I took pictures with the phone). Next week I will mount my Sebring exhaust. And also tomorrow I will order from America GP Thunder 8500 for angel eyes. Hope it will look good.

Looks great, very stealth!

Welcome to X5 world...tot de la un roman ;)

:hug:thank you very much

stefandragnea = TEFF (it`s my other username). Sorry for answering from that user name, I wasn`t paying attention when I logged in

It won`t happen again:D. I promise

Today i`ve mounted the rear Sebring exhaust. The sound is pretty cool, but yet isn`t what i want. The new exhaust is louder in high revs, it has a metallic sound. I want to have a deep note at lower revs. Friday i will remove the center exhausts to have the sound that i want. Today after i removed the rear exhaust, i`ve started the car. Dear god what a sound :wow::wow:. Anyway, friday i will post a movie with the sound with the center removed

very nice

looks great!!

Car looks great! We're like twins almost. I've pretty much blacked out everything on my E70 4.8 too. Outside of the running boards, there is no more chrome left on the car. I had every piece of chrome, signal, light fixture, roundel and reflector either tinted or painted high gloss black.

Your truck looks nice and mean. Have you considered wheel spacers? You should. It would provide an even more aggressive stance.

Here's a shot of mine (note the stock 4.8 next to it, for comparison):

damn. ur X looks badasssssss.

You should also remove the roof-rails if it`s not a must, paint the front grills that are under the kidney grill. Let me attach a photo to see what i`m talking about.:D

thank you very much. Here are two photos with my new LED license plate bulb. sorry for the bad quality

That's so funny that you did this too. Member poleposition and I are having these mesh grills painted black as well. Looks like great minds think alike. :thumbup:

TEFF - Here's my review on my lights, based on the PM you sent me. This mentions ALL the lighting mods I did to my car.:thumbup:

The GP Thunders are ok. Since I upgraded my headlights and fogs to 6000K, the GP Thunders don't look as "white". However, when they are on as just as the daytime running lights and no other lights are on, they look great. The White halo's give a nice contrast to the all black front. I also use the GP Thunders on my M5 and get compliments on them on that car too. for $15, you can't beat it. The other alternative is HID or LED's, which will run you around $200, as opposed to $15 for the GP's.

As for tinting the tails, I had them professionally sprayed by my body shop guy. He takes the lights out and does this whole big process to make it perfect. He does all the work on my cars, including my M5 and I strongly suggest taking your car to someone similar. With all the bumps and curves in the light, I wouldn't attempt it yourself, especially since the X5 rear lights are 2 pieces.

Thanks for the advice. I will search for someone very good at painting, i want to tint my rear lights. Like you said in the PM`s title: "we`re kinda twins" :))
Cheers:D

Looks great ... Congrats and welcome to the Xoutpost!

exhaust completed
 

finally completed the exhaust. Today i`ve removed the middle exhaust and replaced it with titanium pipe. Sebring rear-exhaust.

Haven't updated for almost 2 year :))

Meanwhile the car reached 88.000km, no serious problems. Just fitted front brakes from X5M and painted them red. Right now i'm waiting for rear ones to arrive.

Sick! how hard was the switch?

went back to silver rims huh?

Yep, Gone back to silver :D

The swap was very simple, plug and play everything :D

What was the price if you don't mine me asking? I am debating between a 408mm PB Brake set up or the X5 M set up on my yet to arrive 40d :D

Did u have to drop the headliner?
I was looking into a 2011 or 12 x5 sport package
and wanted to do the same thing!
