a few months ago I installed M Sport roof rails on the X5d which I bought from 9vapors. I was surprised to find debris stuck between the headliner and roof:dunno:

Looks amazing Sunny! Great photography, liking #3 especially . The black msport roof rails on white along with painted bumpers, flares & vent splitters look really good.

Probably stuff getting stuck in there from the sunroof. Wonder what I'll find when I pull my headliner to do the wrap.

Big improvement with the roof rails and nice photos dude!

I barely get whistle in the cabin, I'm no cat, with stock mufflers. Part of me would love to straight pipe it but all of my driving tells me that the muffler is a good thing. Still sounds sweet with the muffler.

You had the headliner down - you should have put in the suede!

I'm digging the wheels. Nice looking SUV.

About 2 months ago I bit the bullet and ordered the Android Head Unit from 4x4 shop Canada. Overall I am super happy with the unit ever since I routed audio through an USB DAC

Before


After







Some of the plastic housing had to be trimmed to clear the mounting points


Routed the wires


Wrapped any connectors with weather stripping to prevent and rattles


USB extension to arm rest for DAC

Another USB extension for my mp3s which live on a 64gb USB

Looks great, bet that surprises plenty of cars from the stop light.

How are those interior LED’s holding up? Any issues? Thanks.

Got myself a fault EMP sensor or an exhaust leak. You can see the exhaust pressure slowly build over time in a linear way in this run. You can also see how other parameters fluctuate during the couple runs I did. Still no CEL...
