Just freshly washed. Love her!

I need a slight drop and spacers pronto.

Are Eibach springs the gold standard these days for a decent drop without compromising ride quality?

FCX5 · 05-20-2024, 03:28 PM

Finally decided to get rid on my front license plate. Being in VA, I might get the Sto N Sho one for emergency use. Anyone else have it? Hopefully it does not interfere with the sensor in front…It took around 2 hours to plug the screw holes and paint the bumper.

Looks way better! I hate front plates.

Do VA cops actively ticket for no front plate? I’m in WA which requires front plates, I haven’t had one mounted in 15 years, never had an issue.

They might, but I see a lot of cars without front plates so I suppose it’s worth the risk. I’ll carry my license plate around and first time I get a ticket, I’ll say I just fixed my front bumper and haven’t gotten around to putting it back…or some other such excuse ��

Yeah, haven’t had them for 20 years. 3 cars now without and never been stopped.

Thought I'd join in, as I've recently been posting about issues!

Sage-ish green wrap, black wheels and bodykit bits.... bit silly, but the combo all seems to work... just a pity about the current rough-idle when cold!

sukhk527 · 05-21-2024, 11:21 AM

lots of new forum contributors lately, nice! photo I snagged from a YouTube feature shoot of the car.

This wrap color is incredible. Can you share the brand and color?

FCX5 · 05-25-2024, 10:35 AM

Engine bay cleaned!

Dang, you definitely have clearance over mine. I just switch out to 19s with Nokian R5s as we drive to Tahoe each weekend during winter.

splitsensetam · 05-25-2024, 09:13 PM

Just washed 💦😀

3002 tii · 05-25-2024, 11:43 PM

Used to throw my bike in trunk but with my oldest now joining me on rides, had to buy a rack. Hitch rack is definitely a better long term solution but needed something before the long holiday weekend. Not everyone’s cup of tea but the running boards made this much easier.

_ObiJon · 05-27-2024, 08:50 AM

Both cars got new plugs, coils, oil changes and a bath. The wife's X5 got spacers in the rear and a BM3 stage 1 tune - now it's fun to drive.

MPizza · 05-29-2024, 01:40 PM

Fresh brakes, Eibach's, and tint!

Nick_Beamer · 06-05-2024, 08:34 AM

Not flawless by any stretch but love this thing!

sukhk527 · 06-06-2024, 02:10 PM

my interpretation of a race-focused X5 build.

FCX5 · 06-08-2024, 10:00 PM

Another random shot. I kinda like the center console with piano black trim, CF and ceramic controls…

COSMOS99M3 · 06-10-2024, 11:16 PM

This thread is a huge reason I bought an F15. So many awesome builds. Pics in the tint shop are pre lowering and spacers. Pics in the driveway are after H&R and 15mm spacers all the way around.

Where did you find this trim? I never see it on ebay. Looks amazing

Thanks! My X5 came with Piano black trim and ceramic controls. The piano black has a nice deep look - like a piano key.
