Mod advice
Hey guys,
I just leased a 2018 X6 X50i m sport and need some advice..I am doing the following mods: I don't want to get too crazy or I would have just gone with the X6M but here it is: Tune (dinan or bootmod) Black kidney grilles Paint matched reflectors X6M trunk spoiler lip (paint matched) Red start stop button Window tint I was also considering: Getting upgraded calipers and rotors (not sure why they put ugly small concrete colors calipers on a 90K car when a Kia comes with red brembos...thoughts? Carbon fiber console trim and shift knob from IND (take a look at the pictures I attached) it almost looks weird since these cars don't come with the Carbon Fiber dashboard trim etc that the m cars come with (I had an m4 and M6 before so it all matched better) but I feel like it will look really unmatched with the silver trim i have everywhere else, thoughts? Thanks!

I don't think the X6 has a diffuser right? Only the x5?

There is a diffuser for x6:

I wouldn't waste your time or money on on brakes on a lease. You're oem ones will last the life of your lease and if they didn't would be covered under maintenance.

I agree, but they look so ugly. I don't get how they don't even paint them or give you nice brakes on a 90k car. If you get the X50i and m sport, at least give us that!

I like your list of mods. I would go with a flash tune over dinan. It'll probably be cheaper and provide more power and smoother delivery. As far as the CF console trim and shift knob, I personally wouldn't do it unless you were also installing a CF dash/door trim kit. It will likely look out of place as the only CF items in the vehicle.
