Got any pictures man? would love to see the car with spacers, springs and the quad exhaust? which one is it? I had the BMS intake on my n55 E92 and absolutely loved it, waiting for my X1 to get here and then most likely putting the intake back on!! |

Tried talking about Mods in another thread as well, and doesn't seem like many of the X1 owners really care for them...

I like mods as long as they do something for me, the driver.
I don't care as much how it looks on the outside as much as where I am going to spend countless hours. But inside, yeah, I'm probably going to do a few (reversible) mods. |

Mud flaps are simi diff to install better to take wheel off and pick up some extra black
ribits/plugs.

Speaking of mudkips, I mean mudflaps... Is there any way to get the larger European type that is meant to prevent splashing pedestrians, as opposed to the short American type that's meant to prevent spraying the car itself? I didn't order them here, because all they had was the bikini type.

Unless you are talking about 3rd party mud guards... It looks like eBay UK has a bunch of those... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-WIDE-L...item43b1016f52 |

Woah, that is indeed the best fucking X1 I've seen. Now I wished I've gotten coilovers instead of springs now
My car feels so high looking at that X1 now... Anyways, here's what I've bought recently: Wrapped the steering myself the other day. Waiting for the airbag, just ordered today. Sending the car to the paint shop next week, I'm excited!
