Introduction: New User, New X6 Owner (lots of pictures)

Hello all. Apparently I've been a user here for a year but I had no idea. Im from Chicago and I've owned my 2010 X6 V8TT for about 10 months now, I moved "up" from an E60 M5. Looking forward to learning new things. An introduction is nothing without pictures so here they are starting with the earliest and then progressing.

The car also has a Stage 1 Tune by Eurocharged...which I love. Boost was increased by 2lbs

First day

A few days later



After I had everything painted black






After the springs were installed

Lovin that stealth look! I think the change from silver to black of the trims above and below the front bumper looks perfect.

congrats

These are Weisslicht and I dont know what you mean by new factory angel eyes? Mine are "new" I guess but they were the regular yellow angel eyes stock. I like these a lot better I think they're 6k

Oh I didn't see that. I assume you don't have the self leveling rear and you lowered using four springs? How do you like the ride quality? Any issues at all with the vehicle lowered that much? Especially going over speed bumps and such? I've heard people having pinging or weird noises coming from after the 2" drop.

Man, I really love your car. Beautiful. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks Sharpie
