Newbie on the forum....pics of my ride

[godeacs06]

Well guys, I'm a newbie here but not new to the X5. This is my 2nd one and my dad is expecting delivery of his 2nd during first week of September. [Carbon black 4.8...blows me out of the water]

I just figured I'd show you guys some pics of the ride, 2004 4.4. I definitely have the mod itch after reading the forums here for a couple days and I look forward to being a member for a long time. This forum is a resource that's second to none.

So, a question for the experts, what should be the first mod?

- clear front blinkers
- some 20" wheels
- alu doorboards

Your first mods should be
alum. running boards,
clear bra(to save the paint from winter salt etc)and
M3/M5 steering wheel.

Is the carbon black 4.8 individual ($2500) optoin?

Yea. Since it's the build-out year of the current body styile X5, all 2006 models have the option of "M" colors: Carbon Black Metallic, Interlagos Blue Metallic, Titanium Silver Metallic, Silver Grey Metallic, Imola Red, and I think Mystic Blue.

Where would I get my hands on a pair of Euro headlights? After looking at some of your rides, I think I'm definitely going to do the M3/M5 wheel, Alum Running Boards, Star Spoke 87s, and the euro headlights.

They have not listed the colors on their website yet.

You can get the clear headlights on Ebay from Roveractive

[godeacs06]

Yea I know they havent. My dad didn't believe the salesman when he was telling him Carbon Black was available. I think Carbon Black is one of the most beautiful colors BMW, or any manufacturer for that matter, has put on a vehicle.

What's the best place to get the clear bra?
