My F15 X5 build (upgrades thread)
Hello guys!!!
I bought this car in Nov 2018, and I made some changes to it. I am creating this post to show them the changes and receive some recommendations. English is not my native language, so I try to do my best. I thank Violator , his post was the inspiration to start modifying my x5 I own a 2015 F15 30d (yes, DIESEL) xLine, color Imperial Blue Brilliant Effect (A89) with Terra Dakota Interior (LCB8). So here is my list: - Coding everything (i use Bimmercode with BT adapter) ( https://bimmercode.app/ ) - Blackout all chrome (i don't know how) - Quit the stock telephone car accessory (Cradle on center console) ( https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...hlight=console ) - Bmw double-slat gloss black kidney Grille ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) - BMW Android touchscreen with Carplay ( https://avinusa.com/10-25-bmw-x5-x6-...on-system.html ) - Carbon mods inside (maybe) -Change Rims to 20 or 21 and paint it black! -Ceramic coating ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) Stock Pics: Last edited by foo2002; 06-12-2019 at 01:14 PM..

A beautiful blank canvas! Let the mods begin. HAH
What “look” are you going for? What do you mean by “quit the stock car accessory (candle on center console)?” Do you plan to do any mods to the engine? I really love that color combo. Beautiful.

More black is always good! I suggest to debadge it as well, less chrome and cleaner look. If you’re feeling confident in your spray paint skills you can remove the roundels and blacken them with gloss black or order a set from iND.

If you do it yourself, i would strong discourage taking the lower door window trims off, they are extremely difficult to put back on. The easy ones are back piece, and top pieces. |

To your surprise, i wrapped my kidney grills... Though i would not recommend wrapping them to ANYONE they were an extreme PITA. I had to re-do several times and stretch the vinyl almost to ripping point. I would opt for buying new ones if i had to re-do again.
