None that I know of, google images will make this easy. Not sure what mods your planning, the manifold might benefit from porting but it's no fun with plastic and I can't think of any other mods that would be swappable after prepping. There's a few parts that'll be interchangeable, maybe engine mounts, sensors, exhausts but not likely anything "performance." An intake/exhaust to make noise and a tune if available will make the most/only gains, I haven't noticed any 2017 performance threads yet, but the usual questions and claims will follow.
 
It's built for more it's just not friendly. Moderate boost and good tuning it's capable of 3-350rwhp pretty reliable.

HemiFever is a known and the results are searchable. The results are noticeable and there are people using the pedal commander with a tune.

If your going to donate to the hot air fund Im sure there's more offerings coming, an actual box would help. K&N is all I see but the Pstar makes some decent sounds uncorked.

sadly more JK's are blown these days than anything.
 
The only thing less original than an X5M down here are tattoos and beards, every soccer mom has an M or a 6.3 that will never be used as more than a Dodge Caravan. A supercharged Grand with a nice exhaust turns my head faster than any 120k tramptroop carrier that gets trashed by a plastic Barbie and car washes with no regard for its purpose, which is nothing. It's easy to get 400whp out of the hemi and a great sound and still use it for some light off-road or towing. I say go for it. And I am an almost three decade BMW owner/lover, well older ones and non douchey ones.
 
It's not that the X5 or any M is anything less than a stellar performer and an amazing vehicle. I've been well over reasonable speeds in one, my cousin has the goofy football x6m. It's that the astound is gone because every corner is another bottle blonde with fake bumpers in an identical $250k car that is wasting its existence as a grocery getter or with a giant watch wearing tool in it .

Just for humor, I wouldn't wheel this overbuilt minivan anymore than I would tow with the 70k pretty boy lifted diesel "trucks" by me with stretched "mud" tires on 24's

Ironically I give more props to the cambered out Civic SI with a fart can than the ghost next to it. Built not bought
Just an opinion and it's south Florida where veyrons can be like corollas
