It is. Car is tall enough for you to slide under and work on it.
Get those upper body work out.

Also, could you verify if these are the correct parts?

VRSF Downpipe

BMS Air Intake

Thanks man!

Those are the correct parts. I also ordered the VRSF downpipe and Bootmod3 😃
Hoping to install late next week, can't wait!

If the dealer notices that it is there, and something breaks or malfunctions related to the downpipe, then they won't warrant that repair.

so better do the mods after your car warranty period is over?

Since the N55 is pretty reliable, I'd just take my chances and mod now.

Let me know if you are going to upgrade to the KW, I have them in stock.
I had similar setup as yours before. Lookup my dyno result, you should be producing about the same hp/tq.
PM me a quote Ben for the KW installed. I got my car lowered at your shop last year. Thanks

These trucks should never have anything less as far as width goes. Makes the ride more stable.

My truck came with standard suspension so I added the Eibach prokit for my body(RGsport). The drop now equals the height of the X5M. Not great but good. I will be changing this after winter for KW V3. Not because of any issues with the Eibach but with KW you can adjust the rebound and stiffen it up even further.

Now to the fun stuff, Installed BMS air intake, JB4, anf VRSF Downpipe. Wow what a difference. Map 5 with e85 feels very strong. I plan to have a flash tune done after I purchased the Pure Stage 2. For now I am very happy. The truck is night and day from when I picked it up.

I also installed a Massive Hippo 12 with the Massive 4000w amp. But I just transplanted that from the M3.

Shout out to Tom from Rayco 4 in Levittown. Shop is fair priced and cool dude.

I have a 2012 X5 35i with m sport package I can’t seem to find any mods besides the dinan tune which was a great tune but I’d really like more . Where are you finding parts?
