I no longer have my 4.8i x5 but here are some pics of what I did to mine. It actually looked exactly like yours before all the mods. I included a pic of what it looked like before the mods as well just to show you how big of a transformation it was. Things that were done include: Aero kit, wider wheel flairs, running boards, gloss black kidney grills, x6m wheels and 35% tints. All of the parts were ordered through my local BMW dealership and painted by them. All of that totalled somewhere near $3500-4000. Not really sure if there was a less expensive route but that was the one I followed and was happy with the result.
