Just personal choice buddy. Not sure if I like the look with the 6 individual led's due to the size/spacing.

As I said it's just personal preference but if you like them then go with it.

Once on the X and a proper full front end shot I may change my view point though.

I thought you knew something bad about this set up. Got me thinking for a second. I emailed the company to see if i can actually get the bi-xenon set up and better pricing hopefully. We'll see. Also emailed another company about the led tail light set up as well. That's the same set up which PhilUK purchased. They ship free within USA so i am going to have them shipped to my sister's where i am going next week to bring it back with me in return.

No. I am still around for 2.5 years. I am deploying for 9+ months and when i get back i am planning on ordering my F15 :) that sounded cool.
Only thing i need to find out if there is a way for me to order a US spec X5 with m50d engine from UK. I don't want to go thru military sales which doesn't give me an option for M50d X5.
I did put a lot into my E53 but that was my dream car back in 01-02 time frame when i could not afford one. Now that i owned it i want my current dream car which is either the m50d or straight X5M. If i can't get the m50d for US spec than i might wait till 2015 to order the X5M to be shipped to US. That is the plan for now.

That's a real shame as I know you had put a lot of hours into thar car.

Don't be a stranger, especially when your F15 arrives...... :)

And good luck with the posting.  Wherever it is, be careful and keep your head down!!

Thanks sanj. I hope that deleting my number was a joke. I will still be around the forum to get more insights for the future ride.
