My BMW X6 35i w/M Performance upgrades
Good evening gents. Finally finished part 2 of my upgrade to my 2010 BMW X6 35i and thought I'd share a few pics. I know the majority of folks here seem to be of the X6M and X6 5.0 variety and all but I wanted to represent for the lesser v6 owners out there and show some of the possibilities available to them too. Yes mods are farther in between and fewer but with a little lQQking and perseverance you can find a few lil things!
My mods/upgrades to individualize my X6 include: - Eissenman Race Performance (full) exhaust - Dinan Stage 1 & Stage 2 Performance ECU Update - AFE PreOiled Filter - Schneiderman Black/Gray Stainless Steel Pedal Set - Escort 9500xi Radar Hardwire installation - ECS X6 Clear Side Marker Set - Matte Black Front grille Set - BMW Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - Stoptek Cross Drilled Brake Rotor Set - Ceramic Performance Street Brake Pad Set - Stainless Steel Brake line kit (back-ordered) - BMW M Performance Aerokit Front Bumper - BMW M Performance Aerokit Rear Wing (Matte Black) - Phillips LED Daytime Running Light installation - Ipod/Idrive Retrofit So far I am plesantly pleased with the vehicle and also thanks to the guys at BMW of Austin and IND who helped with sourcing my parts and getting it all put together correctly and right the 1st time! I even forgive you guys for the broken tail light! LOL Enjoy and any thoughts or recommendations for upgrades as I shop for wheels to complete the look are/would be appreciated. Rob

Thanks. So far brakes are good and strong, less brake dust, no noise. However need to do the stainless steel lines and flush with Racing Fluid (Amber) in order to get the full effect I think. But it IS less expensive than a Bembo Big Brake kit by good amount especially since I am not hauling her down from triple digit speeds on the regular like on the Autobahn. Now if I was stationed/lived in Germany I'd definitely go that route...but then again if that was the case I'd have gotten an X6M most likely also.

No the fogs were removed and the dealer re-coded the car to acknowledge that there were no fogs present much like the x6M's are. So no faults at all when I had the car.

I like your M conversion. Does anyone know if the 2013 LED active headlights on the x5m/x6m compatible with 2010-2012 x5m along with the new grills that come on the 2013 x5m/x6m?

there are a lot of ppl on here who want to do the same thing. it can be done right now but it would pricey as hell and need to be a custom job to get all the wiring and coding to work right. the rumor is a conversion kit will be released at some point by bmw... i'm still waiting lol
