My 7 Seater Family car (2007 X5 3.0) [w/ DEPO (rep) LCI Tails]

Thought I'd share my newish-to-me acquisition (as of October this year) which hopefully will cater to my ever expanding family. This is also technically the wife's car.

As cars are generally tremendously pricey in HK, my budget was limited to the pre-lci vintage X5. I was also looking to get a low mileage one owner car with a clean interior. I therefore had to make some sacrifices including a compromise on exterior colour. To balance things out, I decided to do a few cosmetic upgrades, here are the before and after photos

Upgrades include:
- Style 375 reps (20") on Michelin Latitude Pilot Sport 3's
- (F)15mm (R)20mm spacers
- OEM Fender Arch upgrade
- REP M Performance Grille
- Philips 6000K HID Bulb upgrade
- Philips 6000K HID Fog kit
- LUX H8 AE
- Depo REP LCI Tail lights
- Piano black interior wrap
- Upgraded iDrive monitor (China brand) w/ OEM reverse
- Match PP82 DSP
- Blackvue Front / Rear Blackbox Camera

I didn't think of doing any of the above at first but the mod bug bite hard. Had thought about lowering her but no one in HK seems to know how to code the rear bags. Might just complete the look by installing an Aero kit or wrapping her completely. What are your thoughts?

And to sample my mod-buggery which I really shouldn't be proud of, here are my exes and my current (cheaper) "fun" car being the SLK which replaced them:
