Yeah same here. Don't get too excited though, my car is pretty much stock. Some small mods but not much to talk about. I've been going to some other meets lately and haven't seen a single x5 so this should be a nice change.

[Cattivo]

It's all good bro, i'm pretty much stock myself. I herd there's some pretty good car meets out on the island

The IND painted reflectors are color matched perfect and really clean up the front end...i say for $90 go for it takes literally 15 sec to swap out both

I wasn't very impressed with the exhaust note under 3-5k rpm on the stock exhaust so i decided to pump up the volume a little bit. Upon cold start the truck sounds a lot louder

[Cattivo]

I used 12 gauge wire to permanently open the actuator arm on the exhaust valve and it made an noticeable difference

[Cattivo]

This will do till i get a better exhaust

[Cattivo]

I also don't understand how a truck that cost over $100k brand new comes with such shitty interior lighting So i ordered 2 sets of OEM LED interior bulbs and replaced the stock bulbs. This took me about 15 mins since i've already done this to my 50i...i only replaced 19 out of the 20 because i don't need the headache of dealing with the glovebox fuse blowing

Lighting looks very good. How much we're all of the bulbs if you don't mind me asking? Might look into it. Like the exhaust mod. I recently had a qtp exhaust cutout installed on my x5. Think it sounds really good for the money. Best part is, I've got a wireless remote to control opened or closed. Really liking it. I've just got the 35i but I could give you an idea of how it sounds. The rallye show is next Sunday, one of my favorite shows of the year. Anyone thinking about going?

[Parise2713]

Hope to see some of you guys there

2 kits cost me around $270 from Turner. I'd like to hear what your exhaust sounds like, i was actually looking into cutouts. Where is the rallye show? I actually just registered for Bimmerfest East at Raceway Park in Jersey
