X5 Diesel next mod I need opinions
X5 Diesel next mod I need opinions
Well guys I have started modding my X5 Diesel and the X5 guys aren't really much for modding not to mention I find my tastes seem to be similar to the guys on this board.
Current mods are, K&N filter, custom tune, lowered, wide fender flares, 20" wheels, Lux angel eyes, LED interior lights, all reflectors tinted, tail lights lightly tinted, sun tek clear bra. Now I am going to get spacers and possibly gut the cats and Diesel particulate filter so I can turn up the boost a little more although the truck is plenty fast and I don't plan to race it.
What I need from you guys is opinions on my next mod, should I get a OEM X5M brake kit? Or new wheels? I like the wheels I have now but I was thinking of putting winter tires on them and making them my winter wheels. The cost is similar between both options.
My X5 stock



Here is my X5 now



So in my opinion the mods are coming to an end For now what should be next? The options are new wheels, nothing crazy expensive these are the ones I have my eye on I was sad when I found this guy running the wheels I wanted...I was hoping they would be rare o. The E70... Any way should I get these keep in mind he has a 20x10 40 offset and is running 20mm spacers where I would order 20x10 20x11 20mm offset and hope they are a lot more concave.




Or X5M Brembos? With the wheels I already have, I would likely paint them viper snake skin green or midnight purple leaning to the green so they pop. They look pretty plain in the black, I am leaning toward the brakes right now.

I had a deal on a set of HRE 22" but the guy went to the tire shop to get the tires dismounted and the tire shop offered him more money than I did and no shipping hassels
. 22" are not in my future I have new 20" tires already and its a DD so i dont need the rough ride.

It does have brakes that work just fine and it won't be raced and rarely see overly aggressive driving on twisty roads...so brakes or wheels would honestly just be for form
I have a couple deals in the works for the brakes, I just need to pull the trigger....starting to second guess it and I have been thinking about OEM X5M wheels. In black of course.


I am indecisive.

I would go BBK. Theres a customer with a blk diesel X5 has the same wheels you got on now, darker tint & upgraded to the M bbk has them ISF blue and they pop out. Hope he comes soon so I can snap a pic.
