How can I make my base 35i more luxurious

[DzinekuF15]

I recently bought myself a 2015 X5 35i

We love it ( it being our third X5 we are major fans) but this being the base with base seats, I would like to know any suggestions to how I can make it more comfortable and enjoyable.

Thanks!

Depending on color, one subtle upgrade would be knee pads. Could also swap out (I'm assuming) the 6WA display for 6WB. Somewhat pricey, but upgrading to ceramic controls would add an additional layer of luxury.

I've thought about replacing the leather on the seats, not terribly expensive and the quality is really nice (also, able to customize it). Some places have options to add padding, which might be nice since the base seats are so flat.

Only issue is that I haven't seen any kits for the F15, but I'm sure they're able to make them.

1st: comfort seats
2nd: M-series steering wheel

If I were to find some comfort seats would they be plug and play? And should I buy a new M sport steering wheel or just add a wrap to my current one?

Thanks

There's some recent threads here about wraps that look quite good.

Thanks

Seats are not plug n play:

If you don't have heated steering you can re-wrap, if you got cash burning your hands-go get M wheel.

What wheels you got? Bigger wheels can give you the same feeling.

This question might be unpopular, but why not wait and find an X5 that had your minimum requirements in the first place, rather than upgrade major components like the seats after the fact?

These are the wheels we have

Some 20" wheels would sure dress it up nice.

We found this X5 at a good price and we didn't want to stray to far from the budget

Well then enjoy it as is. Budget and modifications don't go together. Lol
