Finally found a UK-based forum for the X6 - yippee!

Previously drove an E46 330d sport followed by a 535d sport and now on the X6. Just took delivery a couple of weeks ago.

X6 40d
Alpine White
Individual Slate Leather
Dynamic Package (214s)
Media Package
Self-levelling
Soft Close Doors
Comfort Access
Running Boards
Black Roof Rails
Reversing Assist with top view
Sunroof
Side View cameras
HUD
Individual Audio
Sun protection glass
Piano Black Individual trim

And a couple of other little bits.

Now added:
LED angel eyes
BMW Performance kidneys, rear spoiler and rear window slats
50i exhaust tips and trim
CF mirror covers
Hamann pedal set

Very nice indeed. Which Angel eyes did you use? When I enquired about the 50i tips for mine, I was told they were not available.

Stick a couple of posts in the X6 forum on what you have had done, and any mods that had to be made to the OEM kit to make things fit.

I *might* go for a respray on the wheels (ferric grey or matt black) and a di-noc CF roof, but am really undecided/in 2 minds about both. I might just drive it for a while first before giving it up to another bodyshop!

Welcome

Lovely looking motor (jealous).

I think a CF roof would look awesome. Can you do a Photoshop mock up?
