Maybe a quick tune? Or the golf tee mod?

I'll look into it, thanks. Have you dealt with either?

Here are them on my car, and the for sale thread... not just suggesting this because I'm selling them, they'd really make a difference!

OEM X5M low profile painted roof rails https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1562080

Welcome to the forum!

If it were me, and I'm not a big mod guy, but I would do the following for sure:

OEM wheel arches + OEM 20" wheels (style 214 for your X)
Painted front reflectors
Front license plate delete, regardless of your state laws

Would maybe/probably do the following:

Dinan software tune, currently on sale for the N55. 355 HP/401 lb/feet torque
Different exhaust tips, perhaps those from a 50i/M Sport
M Sport or X5M steering wheel

If I had even extra $ lying around:

LCI headlights from a 2012/2013 model

It still looks great as is

You need a red BREMBO brakes and Calipers to go with that beauty.

Check out MHD tuning in the Google play store, get a downpipe (F10 535), AFE air filter, defiantly a charge pipe, and maybe some e85( E30 mix MHD). I've done all of the above and on a Dynodynamics Dyno I made 320hp/440lbft.

I would have expected more with all those mods. Hmm

oh im thinking about it. probably going to wait awhile to see what problems if any people are having.

If you've got Halogen headlights... I'd look into custom headlights that look like the F style...

jiggz · 01-10-2019, 11:30 PM

^ those are stock, but optional headlights from a 2013 E70 X5M.

Unfortunately these units are not interchangeable with the non-M E70's.

boneca · 01-11-2019, 07:40 AM

Welcome to the family

look at my 11, link under Garage List, you can find most of the modes I've done to it, just pick and choose

The one's on the picture yes, but there are aftermarket lights or custom converted lights made for regular e70's with similar design..
