2012 X6M arriving this week. Anything I'm forgetting?

Hey guys. Any suggestions on "must have" mods?

So far I've ordered the following.
Velos tune and catted DP's.
22" wheels and 295/335 Pirellis
BMW carbon rear spoiler (trunk lip)
Lux Angel eyes
Matte grilles
IND painted to match front reflectors
HR Springs
Interior LED's

It will go for a paint correction, clear 3M and tint when I receive it.
Cheers

I priced one yesterday. 2300 Can. Too spendy for me. I'm a bit concerned I might tear it off in the winter. This is my winter vehicle/daily driver. My truck won't fit in the parkade where I work, so the X6 has to be able to do everything.

I like all-weather mats like Weathertechs - keeps the interior clean plus a breeze to maintain.

Yap, so many albertans I think i need to start a thread for doing a meet soon.

I know the common agreement is to ditch the H&R, but i have it on my and it works decently so far, I don't hate them, altho they do ride a little more floater over compression bumps.

Roy's car is done by ECUprogram

CrazyRC, i want to see the catted DP once you get them, is it the Velos once?

The down pipes showed up yesterday. I won't have the vehicle until Wed, so they tell me. You're welcome to check out the DP's in person. I live in Airdrie.

2nd.

Regular mats never made it into my car. I had them in my hand when I picked it up from the dealer. I've had them in my cars since my 2003 x5. It's so freeing to never think about the condition of your (or you pesky passengers) feet when you get in the car.

Lux upgrade will cover the fronts. Rears will likely remain stock, just smoked.

I would get a front lip. We need a meet for sure.

And I have a set of H&R 1.2" springs I would sell for $200. They were on my wife's X5 for a couple months and she didn't like them so it went back to stock. I work downtown Calgary so we could meet up if you are interested. I also have Hartage springs that I would let go for $400, I think my mods are done on both X5s.
