What else is there to do?

So when I got my 2015 X5 35d xline I was happy to be back in a BMW after having a Benz and range for a few years.

I've modified my X5 over the last few years. I don't really want to mess with engine or tunes. What else is there to do with my X5 at this point?

It's a great looking ride, I would just say enjoy it!

If you really must do something do it and in case you haven't done already:

- LCI tail-lights
- 6WB instrument cluster retrofit
- NBT EVO retrofit or Andream/Joyeauto
- leather kneepads
- x5m seats retrofit

Your X5 is looking good - first 2 things that come to mind after seeing your pics are 1) painted front reflectors, and 2) a set of OEM 21's

What are LCI tail lights?

Already got the digital cluster and car play box.

Recently wrapped all the interior wood trim with carbon fiber.

Seats seem like too much of an expense for a 5 year old vehicle with 100k miles on it

Cops are hypersensitive for small things like this around my area. I don't want to run the chance of getting a ticket for the reflectors.

My wife had to use my car one day and got pulled over and ticketed for my not that dark but not legal tints

I don't think that side reflectors are required. I would say wheel spacers, debadge and color matched reflectors and it's done.

I got 15mm in the rear and 5 mm spacers in the front. I actually like the badging to show I'm a diesel.

I think I'll do reflectors soon enough, seems like the general consensus is to color match them

I didn't want to debadge my 50i at first for the same reason, but now I'm glad I did.

Aren't 2016+ tail lights slightly darker than 2015/2016 models? To me, the difference is like oled vs led, or am I the only one seeing this?
As for x5m seats retrofit, just search the forum, it's been discussed here.
