Just picked up 1st E70

Hi, my name is jamie. Just picked up an 07 plate x5 e70 3.0es with dynamic pack. Looks really good and drives superb, after coming from a 08 nissan 350z, its certainly a totally different car with respects to power delivery and that feeling of luxury!
One thing i would like to know is, what are the straight forward or 'must have' mods to make to the x5? I was looking at the larger exhaust tips from the 4.8, but there are always little things you can do to make it different.
Also could someone explain how to get pictures up please.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome........
If you want to know what 'official' retrofits are out there, have a look at
Realoem for the parts lists. You just need your last 7 characters from you VIN to pull up your car...

Sorry no - don't own an E70 X5.

The E71 kit is approx £400 plus fitting and painting if that gives a clue as to the likely figures.....changes the normal round tips to the 50i tailpipes (rectangular).
