Suggestions for cosmetic mods for a 2011 X5?

So, I just got my 2011 X5 (vermillion red) and love it. Just wondering what people suggest for the first asthetic mods. Just looking for the best bang for the buck.

Congrats on your purchase! Which model did you get? Start with performance grills, flares if you don't already have them, and spacers for a nice flush fit. And if you don't have at least 20" wheels, I would acquire a set of those.

I would do the IND cosmetic package. Makes a difference IMO. Just a clean/simple look.

Post a pic of your X5 first. If it doesn't have 20s on it, first thing would be to put fender flares and OEM 20s on there. Second step would be a full M Sport conversion, of course.

Sorry to reserect this old thread but I had a quick question for anyone that can please help me out.
I have a 2009 E70, and was curious if the 469m wheels off of either a 2015/2016 would fit my E60!with no problems? Or do they require the usage of spacers/hub adaptors or anything? Just curious because I'm about to order some and was hoping that I could just bolt them on and be ready to hit the road. Thanks so much for your help & time! Please feel free to text me at 928.640.0754 or email me foster28@gmail.com Whatever is easier for you. Thanks again!! Have a great day!
