New (to me) X50i

Hey guys, wife and I traded in our Q5 for a X5 with more space when we had our baby boy a few weeks back. She wanted metallic white exterior/tan leather and I wanted power so we reached a fair compromise with this 2014 X50i. Would have preferred MSport but the deal was great and had every other package we wanted.

Did a few things so far:

Stage 2 paint correction treatment
Feynlab ceramic coating (paint, wheels, calipers, glass)
OEM flared fenders
Avant Garde M610 wheels in liquid brushed silver (20x10 ET35)
Continental DWS06 275/40/20
BMW center caps
H&R 12mm rear spacers (brings in line with factor staggered option)
Formula One Stratos tint (15 front/50 rear)

So many nice looking and unique X5s on this forum. I think I'm stopping after some coding and a slight drop which I'll probably do in the spring. Thinking Eibach is best for us with minimal ride discomfort and not too aggressive. Just a little cautious of spending all that money for install, alignment, etc and not seeing a big difference (only 0.6" in rear on non-self leveling). Happy to be part of this community!

Old and new (not great quality, just iPhone for now)

Flares came from yourbmwparts.com Order total was $667 including shipping and all hardware. If you end up doing it let me know and I can tell you all the hardware you need. It was a pain to figure out but I got there.
