Buying an X5 4.6iS -> Looking to mod

M3Driver · #1 (**permalink**) 10-03-2003, 12:38 PM

So we're looking at getting a 2002 X5 4.6iS - Estoril Blue with black nappa w/silver alcantara inserts and silver trim.

I was wondering if the 4.6 can be equipped with a towing package, and also what kind of performance mods are available for it. I'm thinking of doing an exhaust system, a computer upgrade, and whatever else is available. Is there a lowering suspension kit out there for it?

Also, what size 22's would fit? I'm thinking of putting some staggered deep-dish HREs on it.

Thanks for the help

I would go with a supercharger from Dinan, but they are quite costly running upwards of 20 grand for the kit. If thats too high there are plenty of exhaust intake etc type of mods out for the 4.6, 4.4 and so on.

For 22's I would say get some Hamann PG3's we have

We have hamann 20' pg3's along with the hamman off road kit on our 4.4. This summer hopefully its getting some forced fed air into it

22s Look even better IMO but the moms wasn't about to go for 500 bucks a tire at the time we got the kit and rims... Now you could get 22'' tires for the same as 20''

Whatever you do good choice in color... Estoril
