My Semi-New 2012 35i

maitrimk · 01-21-2013, 09:24 PM

Hi guys. I'm fairly new to the X5 scene but I've had an E60 for the past 6 years.

I've done some minor mods. Once spring hits, I'm planning to get some X6M replica's.

Mod's I've done are:

Powder coated the aluminum running boards
Paint match the front and rear reflectors
Also paint matched the chrome surrounding for the Trunk Roundel
Took off the side emblems
Got matte black X5 emblem
Sprayed the exhaust tips to matte black
Matted blacked the front silver plastic pieces and the rear silver piece
Matte black grills
Installed the cargo lift kit for the trunk
Installed OEM roof rack and Thule ski/snowboard rack

Changed all interior bulbs to LED White
Front White LED Turn Signals
6000k Low beam bulbs
6000k HID Fog Light
Custom LED White turn signal
LED White reverse bulbs

And also programmed the car to my liking. (Turn off front turn signal, Digital Speedometer, remote mirror and trunk, disabled turn signal fog, idrive/nav/reverse camera disclaimers, etc...)

Here are the pics. I need to take some more with a nicer camera. Using the iPhone 5 camera at the moment.

So you have no front turn signals? Doesn't sound safe...

Hmm I don't think I said that... You're right. I did say that. I meant to say turned off while headlights are on.

It still turns on when I signal.

Hey nice job, exactly what did you do to replace the orange reflectors in the front bumper? I ask because I have reflectors I need to put in mine but don't have a starting point. Thanks in advance.
