So I have owned BMW's for years and have just been in this forum for less than a week. Typically I have just always purchased some all weather floor mats and called it a day. Now after less than 7 days I have spent almost a grand on new gadgets! Super excited for them to all arrive. It's gonna be like Christmas in October. Thanks for all the great information everyone posts!

Wait till it gets up and $200-$300 and then $1000/mod, they add up really really quick.

I think i've spend around $3500 and that just on on a handful of things

1)E70 X5m M brake upgrade (after removing the 50i brake caliper/rotors that i've just upgraded to, buying X5m rotors and calipers, brembo pads, rebuild and powder coat brake calipers) $1200 +$300 (50i brake upgrade purchased prior) $1500 total
2)M sport rear bumper $100 + Repair $50 + repaint $350 + OEM M-sport exhaust tip $250 = $650 (still work in progress)
3)BMW X line/Lux Line aero bumper lip $300
4)Interior wood trim swap to poplar wood $300 for set (contrast looks great with ivory white/black door panel)
5) M sport steering swap with airbag and pedal shifter $450 (was a bargain)

Future
*3rd row delete $0-$200 (cost nothing if I sell the 3rd row which hasn't been used at all)
*Black interior swap? OR Swap my Ivory white stock bottom seat only for Ivory white sport bottom seat (turns out the bottom seats frames are swappable with stock except the 18 way adjustable seat) $500 to $????
*Full emission delete? (already bought the EGR block of kit from Czech Republic, looking for DP and a welder) $750-$1000
*Air suspension (don't know yet but...might) $3500+

Already an expansive present and now future

Let me know how that conversion on the 3rd row goes with pictures and part numbers please . I also am considering removing my 3rd row but have been waiting on someone else to do the work first .

I think you'll need a 2nd row seat that goes with a 3rd row...unless you want to simply attach the 3rd row and have passengers jump over the 2nd row or enter from the trunk area!

I don't think this is a feasible retrofit....

You'll have to buy the sliding 2nd row seat, or else there will be no leg room for 3rd row and nearly impossible to access it. I really like to have that extra under storage where the 3rd row resides, it was actually very useful when i had my E70 X5 which didn't have 3rd row.
