Hey guys, does this forum seem quiet companred to others to you?

i keep reading this forum and there are sometimes not a single comment for hours which suprizes me a lot!

but in any case, i picked up a F85 X5m last friday and thinking of what to do to it.

1. I was thinking of a piggy back tune - any reccomendations?
2. Need winter 22' wheels in Black... honestly dont mind if its a replica.. will put all weather tires on it, so i can use it for 3 winters... reccomendations? budget for the rims? ummm 2000-2500 with tires... (tires i want are like (500$)
3. any LIP spoilers for this car in CF? or mirror covers? - (will F15 rear roof spoiler CF fit on this car?

definately not dropping this car as wife already complaining about the seats and how hard it iss....

what else is there?

Thanks in advance!!!

why get extra wheels and put all season on them for the winter. get the dedicated winter tires. i don't think 22's are a good idea for that. I have 19s from TSW (I think) and it was $2,700 all included with tire sensors

The way i see it is that... i will only drive about 2000 miles a year in snow since i am in Cali and there is no snow so only on new years when i go to Tahoe... so no need to dedicated winter tires.... all weather are great

Also i want black wheel in general for myself so this way if i split the driving and drive on 22s for like 10-15k for 3 years and OEM for same time, i wont even have to change tires when lease is up, THUS the cost of wheels will be paid off.... makes the most sense to me as i am still trying to get the black wheels for myself at the right price.

Not aware of any lip spoilers yet. The F15 M Performance rear roof spoiler will fit. It's not CF, just shadowline black.

I have it installed on mine.

1. ESS has tune, there's no piggy back available. You have ship your ECU in. $1,795 list price.
2. Why would want 22s for the winter? I'd recommend looking into Vorsteiner or BC Forged. Run 20x10 front and 20x11 rear, tires are cheap for 20s. Contis DWS would be great tires for X5s, I had them on my E70 X5 before.

No one bought it or even replied to the thread.

RaceChip Ultimate Group Buy by RG Sport http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1154295

It is a well known company also with great feedback.
Maybe X5M / X6M owner feels plenty of power already.

i am honestly feeling scared to be the guinea pig especially since wife drives it too, BUT how much is it shipped? i wouldnt mind getting some more power as well as saving some MPG lol

BimmerSFo , I don't think you are the guinea pig since this product has been tested before it is released.
Unlike some piggy back tune company, they release a beta version then uses us as the guinea pig.

Hey so I emailed them last night just on some reviews and here is what I got:

Unfortunately, for your vehicle is currently no RaceChip available. It will take about 4 or 5 weeks. Please watch after that time ag
