Latest Update:

I liked my wife's E70 twin turbo diesel w/ JBD tune so much I got myself one. The E90 N54 is no more, traded it in. I really needed something bigger for the family + dog especially for lake house trips. It has great low end tq and gets the best mileage of all the motors offered for the X5 26 highway 23 city. Not bad for an awd 5300lb SAV.



When I got it(I hate the front and rear reflectors):


White interior is nice, also has all season floor & trunk mats:




Added on a JBD tune like the wife's SAV:








Front reflector painted black:


Gotta remove the bumper to install them:




Rear reflectors painted black:



Changed the grill from stock to painted gloss factory black:
Before:


After:




Added on Lux 180 Angel eyes, Osram Zenarc CBI 6k HIDs, LED fogs that match the HIDs, tinted the windows, license plate frames, and some other small stuff. No plans to go any further with the E70 as it's just my DD. If the emissions stuff starts to fail I'll probably rip it all out and go with a custom tune so I can pass inspection.



E92 Updates:
Installed CF rear wing and painted it
Installed Mtech rear bumper w/ CF insert






E92 is in the shop right now getting a few bits installed(no pictures)
UUC Short Shift Kit with DSSR rod
Rogue engineering transmission bushings
034 Motor Mounts
Turner Solid aluminum subframe bushings
Turner Solid aluminum differential bushings
Boost Addictions differential lock down brace
New gear box and diff fluids redline and royal purple

Looking forward to picking the car up and seeing how different it feels.

Next up is a serious suspension upgrade. Already have m3 front arms, waiting till I have all the bits and pieces before I install and then get aligned/balanced.
