Question What Mods Can You Recommend For My X5?

How's It Going Gentleman And Ladies If There Are Any, As You Can See I'm Very New At This And I Just Purchased My X5. It Is An Imola Red 4.8is With Black Nappa Leather Interior, I Had The Aero Kit And Underride Guard Installed Before I Even Picked Up The Vehicle, It Has All 3 Or 4 Additional Options That The 4.8 Had ( Except For The Rear Side Airbags I Believe It Is ). I Am Also Having An Entertainment System Installed On The Headrests This Week, As Well As, The Auxiliary Input And Auxiliary Power. Furthermore With The Help Of Your Posts I Installed The Aluminum Pedals, The Titanium Mirrors, And The Titanium Rear Door/hatch Handle Today.
I'm Thinking Of Doing Some More And I Would Like Your Opinions, Based On Your Expertise As To What Else I Can Mod, Especially Since It Seems Like Most Of The Mods That U Guys Have R On Different Year Models. If You Can Please Give Me Your Recommendations And Point Me In The Right Direction As Where I Can Purchase The Items You Recommend. It Will Be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks To All In Advance.

the pcm tuning should enable you to gain some more power.
THe resonator will increase the sound of the exhaust. It will be more aggressive. There is a clip of another 4.8 with the resonator removed, somehere.

no idea about warranty, but I would bet it would void it if found (pcm tuning). Unless, maybe, it was a Dinan software.

Give it a drop via DIS. Here's a link to give an example of how it would look:

Oh my! That is an eye catching X5. I would suggest Euro clear front headlights so that there is no amber on the corners. I think it is a much cleaner look, particularly on Imola Red where the amber tends to clash, IMO. I would love to see how the titanium trim pieces look since you replaced the matching red ones. Nice contrast?

My $0.02: Don't chrome those wheels. I think chroming them will make your ride look too pimped out. Believe me, you will be getting lots of looks in that hot Imola Red as it is. I think the underride guard takes away from the look of the front end, especially with the smoothness of the aero kit. I'd remove it. I'm sure someone here would love to buy it.
