My X5 35i M Sport

goat200487 · 11-12-2015, 04:07 PM

Hello everyone!! I have been a member since I had my 2007 e92 but I haven't been very active since I sold it a couple years ago.

That all changed when I placed my order for my 2016 Space Gray X5 on 10/13/15. Ever since then I would be on the site reading about everyone's mods and the configurations you all ordered. On 11/10 I picked up my X5 at the PCD and it was a blast.

I started ordering mods right after I placed my order so the very next day I had my 22-inch rims installed. This morning I dropped it off at BMW to get the MPPK, MPE, Black kidney grills, front fender painted reflectors, and tint installed. Here are a few pictures of it with just the rims. I wanted to try something different other then black rims since I've had that color rims on my past 3 cars. I will update it as my other mods are completed.

+1 the side debadging is a must to give the car a very clean look.. I look at other X5's with the xDrive 35i, 35d, 50i and I just cringe lol.

goat200487 · 11-12-2015, 05:59 PM

Thanks every one! I forgot to mention I debagged it, but you can obviously see that for yourself lol. I did it the moment I got home.

What brand are the wheels? Specs?

That chrome surround grille doesn't look pretty decent on the car

These are made by Varro and they are 22x9 front and 22x10.5 in the back. The color is satin bronze. I wanted to go with the 10.5 in the front and the 12s in the back but the manufacturer said they wouldn't have them in stock until early next year. I'm very impatient so I pulled the trigger now lol. I may just get the 12s for the back when they are in stock and move the 10.5s to the front.

You won't regret it. It looks even better in person.

What percent tint do you have on your front windows?

Kzang · 11-12-2015, 08:51 PM

Mine is at 20%.. I feel like it matches the rears perfectly.

goat200487 Looking good.

That's what I was thinking about going with as well. You just confirmed it for me.

Nice looking color combination with those rims!

Thanks! I'm having the grilles and and painted reflectors that I purchased from you put on now. I think it will make a huge difference once those are put on.
