Seattle X5 owners

atomic80 · 01-21-2016, 07:48 AM

Howdy folks, I've been noticing more and more X5 owners in the Seattle area! I figured that we should start a thread for Seattle owners so maybe we could talk about setting up our first (of many?) X5 meets! Check in here and let me know what you folks think!

Here's some deets about my X5. I picked her up in February of 2014 and have been steadily adding mods since then. The next one is the black chrome BMW roundel for the back decklid cover if I can find the time to do that. I've also been putting off putting on the black BMW performance lip on the rear spoiler. I just can't bring myself to doing that.

Here's a picture of my X5 right after I had the cross drilled rotors installed. She's currently super dirty and has winter tires on her so I don't have a recent photo.

That's one of my favorite photo spots. I think I've seen you running around town. Hard to miss a bright red X5M.

Can't wait to see pics!

leasehackr · 01-21-2016, 06:30 PM

In the Kirkland area, always down to GTG.

All the pretty X5's makes me want to get another one.

jiggz · 01-23-2016, 11:58 PM

I'm up to meet anytime/anywhere…if E70's are invited

But I dunno, you guys have such nice X's, I would just be a tease for me to come out and see them all!

apw2607 · 01-24-2016, 05:55 PM

X5 Seattle owners. Maybe you can help me. I've got a X5 Msport coming in a few weeks and will need to get the 2" hitch installed. I don't want the BMW hitch since its a rip off so was probably going to go Invisihitch, sold by Execuhitch in the USA. Has anyone got any other suggestions and a body shop/hitch store that can install in the area ... ? Thx.

Rene_Fonck · 01-24-2016, 07:46 PM

I'm in Seattle (Wallingford) during the week with my 2014 X5 diesel; and on weekends (near Anacortes) in my 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Duramax diesel (Allison transmission).

I had Haury's in Lake City do an Invisihitch install on my X5. They specialize in BMW and Mini and did a great job.

stewy604 · 01-25-2016, 09:40 AM

I'd be willing to pop down from Vancouver if you guys get together...

atomic80 · 01-25-2016, 10:08 AM

Awesome! Looks like we have quite a few X5 owners here. What would be a good thought as far as getting together goes? Do it in the winter or wait until spring when it gets warmer?

X5 owners doing Renton landing car park meets. Oh those were the days every month of the year. In a 3'r or C class no matter what the condition.
