Just bought a F15 X5 m sport...time for mods
Just paid and waiting on delivery of a 2015 X5 xdrive35i m-sport. What are the must do mods on these? I want to do black kidney grilles and carbon mirror caps. What are the best brands and places to get both? Front window tints is probably first on the list once the car arrives with most likely a detail depending on how it is in person. I'm coming from owning a bunch of Lexuses along with two Audis in the past. This is the first bmw i will own so i hope it treats me well.

'Must do mods' are somewhat subjective as people have different tastes, but they typically start with black grills. The best brand is OEM, of course. You can buy non-OEM parts on eBay or other random sites and save some $ if that's important, though quality and fitment will always be hit or miss. IMO, if you don't want any potential surprises or issues, stick with OEM parts when you can. For OEM parts I usually order from www.getbmwparts.com https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D For me, must do mods at initial purchase were black grills, front window tint to match the rears like you're planning to do, painted front reflectors (from iND Distribution), eliminating with interior wood trim (I went with OEM CF interior trim), and a slight drop with spacers (I'm on Eibach). Done a few other things too but those came later/were not initially 'must haves.' Take some time to browse the forum to get more ideas, namely the thread below. You can also check the 'M Performance' section at www.getbmwparts.com (in the gray banner) to see all the OEM options available for the F15. Good luck. https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1075600 |
