Thanks guys, I'll reach out to Rod.

Is the Avin 10.25" android headunit plug and play? Or did you need to route the wiring to the rear of the vehicle? How about the X5M steering wheel, plug and play if you have a E70 sport steering wheel airbag?

Will be adding much more to this as quite a few things are coming together soon to bring the X5 to a whole new level. Wanted to get a couple pics up with a general glimpse of the direction everything is going. Some mods are starting to pile up so need to get a move on! Hoping that starting this thread will give me some motivation.

Not a good documenter compared to some fellow members but will do my best not to be all over the place and provide some useful information as things come together. Hope you guys enjoy!

Do you have any better pictures of your rear end/exhaust tips with good lighting? I am going down a similar route with 4.5" exhaust tips and want to determine what distance to set them at relative to the bumper. Yours look pretty much ideal, but hard to tell because of the lighting in the pics.

Just amazing.

How is the ride with the 3H? Does it auto level like adaptive drive would? Do you recommend it over adaptive drive?

Hi everyone,
I never got a chance to complete the air suspension installation and ready to offload it for someone who wants to do the setup. Bummed I never got around to doing the install as I'm sure it would have been amazing. This is also a chance to get one of the last ENDO tanks with built in compressor around.


The "kit" includes:


- AccuAir ENDO-CT 5 Gallon Air Tank
- AirRex 08- BMW X5 E70 Struts
- AirLift Performance 3H system - 1/4"
- SR Manifold Stand Pedestal Bracket for Air Lift 3P /3H Mount 45 Degree AirLift
- Tinworks Fabrication Accuair Endo CVT Tank Chassis Mount Air Ride C10


Spent over 5K but willing to sell for 3.5K.



Thanks!

Nope, still have it. Just have a lot going on and don't have time for the install of the suspension unfortunately.

[Nyc Dito]

Awesome, good to know! Your 35D is one of my all time faves and glad to know you still have it

[jpgroth]

Killer looking car! In the market for a 35d..this makes the want stronger

What did you modify to fit the power dome hood? my searches always turn out it would not fit non-m e70 until i saw your thread, what an awesome find! Amazing X!

[jeff@autocouture]

Quite interested in the hood as well, from what i've read the x6 powerdome doesn't just fit the non M x5 without other major components. Seems like you were able to make it work though.

It's a direct swap. No modding needed
