New member w/ modding addiction - INTRODUCTION
Hey folks - wanted to start my first thread by introducing myself. Being a previous owner of a Range Rover Sport Supercharge, LR3, and an X5, I became a huge fan of the X6 due to its hulk of an appearance and beautiful design...nothing can even come close.
On 7/05/2010, i was finally able to get a great deal on a 2008 X6 50i having only 7k miles with the following options: - Active Vent Seat Package - Cold Weather - Premium - Premium Sound - Rear Climate - Sport - Nav, HUD, Rear Camera & Rear Entertainment At the dealer: I have huge plans for the big guy and can't wait till the modding begins! In the meantime, here's a few pics of my last project car...which I had a hard time letting go...hope you guys like em'! 2006 MINI Cooper S aka "Ramsey" |

Thanks imposss - I'm leaning towards a matte/satin dark grey paint job and leave the trimmings black. As far as shoes, I'm yet to find the perfect wheels since my 22" HRE 640R's don't fit the front.

Congrats on the new ride!
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deal did you get for that? I'm shopping around and I want to get something reasonable but I don't know what people are paying for 2008 or 2009 models. You can send me a PM if you prefer.

Jade - I'm still new to the forum and don't have PM privileges yet. The sticker was at 73k and then the internet price was at 69k. I was able to get it for $63k + taxes and fees.

That was a pretty well equipped car; Sport, Premium, Cold, Up-graded Sound and a few other goodies...No 4 zone climate, HUD or comfort seats though.

Work is being done by a really talented individual, not a shop - out in Ontario. Wheels are going to be DPE SP-C16 Shallow Concave wheels in 22's.

Spicy - I had the 2" drop and it settled in just fine. Maybe you should consider it:
Looking really nice BTW! Can't wait to see the finished product!
