Hi Guys,

Have just purchased our first X5 E70 3.0 MSport, Its Saphire Black with some nice optional extras about 10k extras to be precise.. Will try to get some pictures up soon...

I already have plans for some tasteful OE modifications but I must not get carried away as the car is really for the wife...

Previous motors..
I have always been a VW Guy.. below was my pride and joy till I had to grow up get married buy a house bla bla bla........

So Plans for the X5....

LCI Facelift depending on what is needed exactly to do this.
LCI Rear Lights
A very nice DEEP CLEAN AND DETAIL
Refurb or Maybe Change the wheels


To start.. I will upgrade the Halo Bulbs to the LED white versions and install a HID kit (Properly levelled before you ask so as not to dazzle anybody).

Questions..

What exactly do I need to change the Headlights to OEM Xenon LCI lights.

What sort of coding is needed for LCI rear lights.. (im local to london so hopefully there is someone around here??)

Excl Nappa leather upgrade
Anthracite Head lining
Matt titanium roof bars
4Zone climate control
Loudspeaker system
7 Seats

BUT NOT THE BLOODY XENONS BOX.. i dont get it i just dont get it!!!

As well as Heads up display, rear entertainment system, tv function, front and rear heated seats, voice control, powered rear bootlid, the list is endless nigh on!! oh well, simple fix I suppose on the Xenon upgrade.  [emoji106]
