What you got planned for it? Did you know the alloys are from a pre-facelift?

Have some audi upgrades planned.. hopefully being able to connect my iphone and USB input as well. Have had a read through the forums about a few different ones so need to see what works best. I have the 16:9 widescreen sat nav and tv tuner (old analogue i think). Then onto the speakers for some crisper sound.. and maybe dvd player and some rear headrest screens!!
Exterior wise have been looking around for some subtle enchancements so maybe the 4.6/4.8 is spoiler add ons? Also like the look of a silver kidney grill possibly... any tips welcome!

Really? Didn`t know that... thought maybe because it was a sport it had those alloys?

Facelifted Sport with the default 19" alloys. Perhaps the previous owner wanted something else. Different wheels could be ordered including your type 'Style 63'.

Your X5 looks just like mine.
I have silver grills on mine and I rather like them.
