Are build threads even a thing nowadays? Anyways, to keep in true form, I'm going to document the steps along the way. My new-to-me 2017 X5 was purchased on December 16, 2020 from CarMax in Kansas City, MO. I call it the Dog Car because my fiancé and I adopted a Mini Goldendoodle puppy three days after buying this and I went from a stanced VW GLI to this partially because of the dog lol.
Car had 20,205 miles on it and was a one-owner car from New York. Funny enough, it was actually at CarMax in Dulles, VA over Thanksgiving and I just happened to go look at it while I was visiting my folks.
Anyways, mods started shortly thereafter. List of what's been completed to date is down below along with some photos
