X5 Performance Parts
For those who want to purchase X5 performance parts in order to draw out their car's full performance capabilities, there are plenty of suppliers willing to supply a product for every need. Throughout the years, BMW has cultivated a thriving performance-parts market for their cars thanks in large part to an upper-class target demographic and racing heritage. The BMW X5, their full-size, self-proclaimed, "Sport Activity Vehicle," is no exception.
In addition to your local BMW dealer, the Internet is a good place to start looking for exclusive BMW parts. Some sites, such as www.DinanCars.com, offer individual parts such as Brembo brakes, intercooler kits and exhaust kits as well as full performance packages that reach into the $4,000 range. Accessories such as custom floor mats and aluminum accelerator and brake pedals are available as well.
While all the X5s are of the same chassis series (E53), the number and availability of parts will vary depending on what engine is in your particular model. The 3.0L base model will have the greatest number of parts available for it - the others (4.4L, 4.6L, 4.8L), less so. This is a good thing to keep in mind as you shop for parts in your quest to enhance your X5's performance.
