BMW x5 3.0d

Post by Mother » Wed Sep 07, 2011 1:46 pm

Hi, just bought a 2002 x5 just over a week ago and thought i had better introduce myself. My name is mark and i am from sunny newcastle. ;)
I have put some smoked rear lights on to freshen up the faded tailgate ones and have also got some front angel eyes which i have yet to fit (not looking forward to changing the self leveling motors) and also some 22" black and polished stormers.
I have changed the 3.0D and X5 badges from chrome to orange (painted) doesn't look as bad as it sounds. :roll:
I have also changed the battery as you can read about in the problem section lol. :D

I will post some before and after pics when i have finished. :tumbleweed:

Hello Mother............Surprised to see you on here. You did look a bit orange the last time I saw you, however, the news on the badges came as a surprise. I love your new face mask too ;)

You never know..... if you paid me enough money i could be your mother.....would start off by telling you to tidy your room etc. :D

I will post some pics up next week if i get these new angel eye lights fitted over the weekend......need to get the rear suspension sorted as well.
I'm thinking of doing all 4 brake calipers orange soon, will have to white primer them first tho. :)
