Exclusive to X5M and X6 only! These are rare headlights as the LEDs were only offered as a upgrade during last year of production. Updates the front of our trucks to the current LED headlight design. *These are unavailable for other X5 models. |

I love the new LED headlights more and more every time I see them...It's an expensive mod but so worth it! speaking of expensive mods, I have decided to not go ahead with the new turbo$ for now...maybe I'll change my mind down the road but dropping another $6k on turbo$ right now will result in my clothes being thrown out the window

Thanks, the lip is being held on with 3m vhb tape right now but I noticed if I park it outside in direct sunlight the tape seems to stretch a bit and come undone...I may just order some betalink to keep it on good and tight

Thanks brother, my favorite part about retrofitting the headlights has been night time driving so far. The old adaptive headlights worked pretty good on parts of the highway without much street lighting late at night (http://cdn.pcwallart.com/images/high...allpaper-3.jpg) but these new intelligent adaptive LED headlights work amazing! They really illuminate the road with a much brighter beam of light and twice the distance as the originals would...so far i'm very impressed

The Vorsteiner front lip which was installed using 3M VHB tape has once again come undone
Looks like I'm going to have to use betalink to permanently hold it in place https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...VMIaAuY98P8HAQ

Went to fill up the 50i at the gas station late last night and to my surprise both rear air bags were completely deflated...I went over a speed bump without realizing the bags were shot and hit my head on the sunroof from all the bouncing
I guess all the articles I've read about the air bags going bad around 70k miles were correct, I replaced both rear bags and decided to get new Continental DWS(non runflats) tires as well since the original tires were getting pretty worn out. Anyone know how these tires hold up in deep snow or should I keep my winter setup?

Not much of a mod but should make my life a lot easier when it comes to changing wheels. For around $15 this is perfect for anyone like gixxerboy63 who changes their wheels often

I bought this specifically for the front wheels, having front spacers and trying to line up the bolt holes while the spacer spins freely makes it extremely difficult to line up the bolts and wrestle a heavy wheel at the same time
