That's a beautiful x5 u have, the mods are very tastefully done. The paint looks very slippery especially for an 08, what do u use on it ?

just had your average $40 detail done. I think it looks slippery because of a combination of gloomy weather, clouds, and a little bit of photoshop processing...=)

Clean looking car!! Love the aero kit, surprised most people don't have it on. It is definitely on my to do list. Do you mind me asking where you ordered it from and the pricing you got? Also, how much was paint and install?

Very nice and clean.
I have a 2009 4.8 with aero kit, I'm just about to put new wheels as well and keep the 18s for winter.
I was thinking of lowering it as well, but everybody tells me it will ruin the handling and comfort, how different do you feel those 2 are after you put the new springs? Thanks.
