My F15 X5 xDrive50i Build - European OEM+

I love personalizing my cars and, in particular, doing so using lots of OEM forbidden fruit from Europe. I built something pretty unique with my outgoing F10 M5 and knew that with the F15 X5 I wanted to do something similar.

Mods
- BMW 599 M 21" Wheels
- iND Custom Painted Gloss Black Kidney Grilles (for NiVi-equipped cars)
- iND Painted Side Reflectors
- BMW M Performance Brake Kit
- BMW M Performance Front Diffuser (pics coming soon)
- BMW M Performance Rear Diffuser (pics coming soon)
- BMW M Performance Rear Flaps (pics coming soon)
- BMW M Performance Spoiler
- BMW M Performance Pedals
- BMW M Performance Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps
- BMW M Shifter (factory override)
- Fender M Emblems (factory override)
- OEM M50d Front Air Intake Trim
- OEM European Sunvisors
- OEM ECE-spec Adaptive LED headlights (ECE beam pattern)
- OEM ECE-spec Taillights (amber blink, full rear fog)
- OEM Headlamp Switch w/Rear Fog Control
- OEM Premium Carpet Mats
- OEM Warning Triangle with boot clip
- OEM First Aid Kit

This thread will document progress with pictures, etc. A proper photoshoot is coming soon. For now, some teaser pics taken during various stages.

I was hoping to do a retrofit of the 6WB instrument cluster and bought one, but with the ECU changes on the F15 platform it is not currently possible. If/when it is, I'll add that to the list.

Enjoy!
