^^ why all these people posting pics of their own vehicles in atomic80's mod thread?
atomic80 - really well done, from the original build spec to your choice of mods. I'm local to you...if this thing ever hits the market I hope I don't miss the posting! |

Is your vehicle lowered? In the photo below it looks slightly lower than others I have seen.

Atomic, do you have a part number for the 599M wheel set?
I searched and came up with part number 36112349591 If that’s the case can you select which tire brand you want? Or are you stuck with the runflats? |

https://getbmwparts.com/partlocator/...catalogid=4462 And I'm still on the Pirelli runflat tires. There were two incidents that involved a tire puncture and I'm glad I had those runflats even if it means I have to replace the tire whenever it happens. I'd much rather be able to continue driving then have to pull over and change a flat. |

Super clean. Amazing photography. Great taste in cars. Perfection
I almost have space gray envy but wife and I decided on mineral white on mocha nappa. Waiting to get the vehicle back from full body wrap and ceramic coating. I think you may have almost convinced me to get the m performance brakes just for the looks. I have everything other M part installed except the mirror caps. |

It's been a while since I did anything to my X5 but here's something new that I just added. Red starter buttons from iND. It was fairly easy and straightforward to make the swap.
First I had to carefully pry off the entire front trim piece BMW X5 starter button swap by Jason Tang, on Flickr This little module is what has to come out BMW X5 starter button swap by Jason Tang, on Flickr Time to make the actual swap BMW X5 starter button swap by Jason Tang, on Flickr Ta da! BMW X5 starter button swap by Jason Tang, on Flickr Man does that look sharp!

I actually decided against getting the leather dashboard because of the long term durability issues. I have that full leather option in my Porsche and it's a PITA maintaining it all.

I like the attention to detail in terms of taping the steering column to prevent any possible scratches. Most people would be like "Eh, no one sees the back of the column anyway."
Nicely done. Like P1et said, you've always had tasteful/OEM+ mods. That and your pics have always been top notch as well.

I was lazy for many years and never got around to installing a bunch of mods I bought until now! Finally I installed the blacked out rear hatch BMW roundel and X5M knee pads!!
Rear roundel BMW X5 by Jason Tang, on Flickr The X5M knee pads. Those were tricky to install and this is how my console looked when everything was out! BMW X5 by Jason Tang, on Flickr Finally done!!

The black roundel looks great. I'm still trying to justify the price but it will definitely go with my panda theme.

It was a little bit pricey at around $500 which is why I decided to try and do it myself. I'm not a complete novice but I'm nowhere near being a professional. If you're adept at using tools then you should be able to do it. You'd just need a set of torx bits from 15, 20 and 25.

I am about to do a complete interior mod and it includes the ones that you have done here. I am swapping the interior trim to the OEM CF trim kit, w/center console and shifter. I am also adding the red button and knee pads as well. Any tips that you can offer? Ughhh, I still need to swap out the reflector for the painted one that I have had sitting in the closet for almost a year now. Your mods look great, any other mods in the future? |

I thought about doing the CF trim pieces but ultimately in the end I decided to just stay with the wood. I have CF all over in two of my other cars and that's enough for me. I still have the black spoiler lip that I may or may not install. Not sure I want to mess with the overall "clean" look of the exterior. |

Haha I've had those knee bolsters sitting around for months now. Just haven't had the time to devote several hours to this. Did the red start button, front and back roundels, and leather center console from an X5M this past weekend. I was actually wondering why you taped up the steering wheel. when I pulled off the center trim I didn't notice it get anywhere close to it but I wasn't looking for it to as I pulled off trim from passenger side so was naturally pulling away from the column. Was that what you taped up for? Or another reason?
