Subbed to this thread, you make me want to get a x5! And lowering links are you able to adjust your ride height also or does it always leave it at the lower setting.

You should Ben, I'm sure you'll make front page in no time!

As always I appreciate you, RG Sport and AutoTecknic for majority of my mods to date!

I'm not done just yet, will be ringing your bell again

The mirror caps, did you just replace the caps or pop off the whole mirror and add trim to the front? We're you able to order them already painted?

I appreciate it, the loading height is only available while stationary (most of my pictures)

one level down from the middle (sport height) is little higher but good enough for driving.

this is full assembly minus the glass and bottom part, made by AutoTecknic (its gloss black but I assume it can be painted by IND or other body shop)

I got mine from Ben r33_RGSport

I appreciate it!

the wheels made by my friend's company located in eastern Europe, unfortunately since the world crises started they having logistical issues, my set was one of the last sets they were able to ship out.

Thank you, LEDs are part of the covers, they come with adapters to connect to our LEDs already existing in the doors for internal LED lighting.
I got the kit from AliExpress, if you need a link to my exact setup PM me and I'll send it to you.
Hey man -
Great build on the car! Can you send me the link for the led speaker covers? Is it a simple DIY job or does it involve taking apart the console and such?

I appreciate it!

here is the URL for the item on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256...apt=4itemAdapt

this is definitely DIY but it will take some time, you'll need to remove door panels and remove front facial of the dashboard, sounds scary but really doable when u dig in to it

I'm using roof box when taking trips to FL

I don't have spare tire space due to 3rd row and I usually have a spare tire kit laying in the trunk which takes quite a bit of space so I use roof box space for most of my luggage

also I don't use roof box on a daily basis, its in my storage most of the time.

I appreciate it, yes this is the name of the game, I had bright blue car as my last X5M and it had way too much attention

as for the front plate this is the only option not to drill in to body panel, I also think it looks pretty good with offset but I rather have no front plate at all but I'm not moving to FL just yet

Speaking of that plate holder, could you share what it is?
