2011 X6 5.0 Ordered

Hey Guys,

The lease on my 2008 335xi ends in October so I just ordered a 2011 X6 5.0.....

I had to move from Canada to Texas and sell off my M6 Coupe so I am also on the hunt for a 2008 M6 Cab.

Please feel free to pass on any suggestions for upgrades and mods!

Couple "modders" around here TB, but nothing like I used to find on the 3'er/5'er/M3 sites....

Much fewer X6's around and I suspect the "typical demographic" that owns em doesn't mod much

congrats on your new order...hope the wait isn't too long...

mod suggestions: black front grills, painting the lower front and rear bumper trims along with wheel well trims to match the body color...perhaps getting the performance pkg..whenever it's officially released...

Thanks Guys. Ultimately this will be my wife's daily driver so I can't pimp it out too much but definitely looking for power modes!

Anyone hear of updates for power from Dinan?

Haven't heard from Dinan...My parts guy at the dealer let me know I can now order performance body accessories...No word on power upgrade yet thought

I've never seen one around where I live. I get stared at constantly. I've had mine just about a month now, and without fail, someone says something at every stop, thumbs up on the highway, or just hard neck turning stares. It's pretty funny.

Amazing for a car that's been out 2 years already.
