As per the title really, I'm interested to see what you guys are planning, my next and modification will be a remap and then I'm toying with the idea of updating the Idrive controller (not the full system just after the back button etc) that's about it for now unless I further inspiration here of course  ;)

I'd go for the akrapovic ones but I think that they only make them for the X6 though.

Has anyone tried them on an X5?

Won't they costs a packet!?

Not sure a diesel X5 warrants them

Have heard a £12k system on 997 gt3 RS and friend has fitted one to his £200k GTR which is due back on the next couple of weeks.

They cost around £750 for the X6 which I think is good value.

Having said that nobody would see them when I engaged my cloaking device sidelights in sunny weather  :(
