welcome aboard!

what else you can do you ask - i'm fast realising that the sky is the limit to what you can do with these cars!

for instance, you can even add a comp to the car!! .. if u have the money and if u like the challenge.. and of course if u don't mind the risk

Welcome Troy,

Lots you can do to it!

Don't forget you owe us pics!

[Rusty]

Welcome along.
As said, plenty you can do, and I'm sure others will be along to help you spend your money.
If you do mod, pics always go down well.

Well I'm thinking a remap, I really want to upgrade the audio as its bloody awful IMO but need to keep it looking oem, led rear lights, and a new exhaust similar to ones on 4.8is

i haven't done a remap, but these guys come well recommended:

re. the stereo, what i've done is to add an aux input and a sub+amp. thats the bare minimum unless u have an oem dsp.

Popular choice seems to be to replace the head unit with a Hualingan or Dynavin head unit, both give an oem look, massive improvement in functionality and usability compared to oem!.
below thread really helps:

having said that i've been reading about the fantastic bus system of these cars, which allow virtually anything to be connected, in the link i sent below its a computer whch opens up limitless possibilities, controlled seamlessly through the oem head unit.

once a comp is hooked up its not only the a/v that is at its disposal!

lovely wheels btw, u've got there - 21"?

Welcome aboard. Nice base car to start modding.

Liking the rims (22's by the looks of it).

We are always happy to help you spend your money.

cheers everyone, yeah they are 22's, think new headunit might be in order and sub but i need to work out how to a nice stelth install because need all boot space for when i do discos

[X5Sport]

The sub can (and is OEM fitted) in the RHS boot cubby. Boxes are avail via the forum. A few have done it on here.
