Thank you! I did the wash yesterday and it froze before I could even dry it. Luckily there was enough sun today to hit 40.

They are the Terra Leather Knee Pads. Don't quote me, but not sure they make them in Nappa Mocha. RG33_Sport would be your best contact to confirm if they are available in Mocha.

Don't let that happen. I need to pick your brain once I get into my sub install probably after Christmas.

What is the exterior color. It looks magical In this lighting you got going on.

Thank you. It’s just the standard Space Grey Metallic. Helped that I did a clay bar wipe down, extremely fine polish pad and polish, and hydrosilex ceramic coating. The sun definitely helps.

Oh wow. I see it now.

I thought it was like a custom pearl silver or something

It won't fit. G05 has different bolt pattern and bore size.

Yes, it was confirmed that it works with CF oem rear difuser. There is a thread on forum about it.

Thanks for the info man. Points me in the direction of which 22’s I may get in the Spring instead and looks like I’ll order the CF diffuser when I order the Stealth kit.

Thanks.

Oh well... Going to go with my everyday response - shit happens. Going to blame it on sheer laziness. You also can see it in the exhaust sound link. Just said screw it and didn’t feel like running through a video editor.

Thanks for the compliment on the ride though.

Looking good! Sweet build/X5, I love Space Grey.

Next up OEM M Performance CF trim kit to replace that wood and complete the interior.

Front lip/rear diffuser in the future, or skipping those?

How do you like the MPPK paired with the JB4? Huge difference from stock eh?

Congrats!

The CF Dash and Door trim is the first mod next along with an ER charge and TIC pipe.

I am definitely going to do the CF rear diffuser as a couple users confirmed that can still be used in conjunction with a Stealth hitch.

I love the looks of the front CF lip, but I am in the air at this point. I am in Western PA so some of our winters are pretty hit or miss. I also have an extreme steep grade pulling into my driveway so without strategically pulling in at tight angles, the lip will definitely get ripped off. My last car's front lip was a mess! But I am moving in a few months so that probably will be a mod on the list.

As far as the JB4 and MPPK, I love it!. Totally night and day. Pickup speed is great, sounds great mixed with the ER DP and MPE, and love the sound of turbo blow off. Made me second guess getting the 35I instead of the 50I, but not going to have buyer's remorse. Love the ride now. My only complaint with the JB4 is waiting for the car to warm up now in this cold weather. I know it's a safety function, but really wish I could tap into that upgraded power as soon as I started the car.

Your X5 build has been a big help. You new ride however is sweet! You will have fun doing a few simple mods to that. I know someone else that just picked up a Red one last week and she loves it.

I was unaware that the Stealth Hitch works with the diffuser, great to know.

I know what you mean about second guessing not getting the 50i or X5M, I too at times wished I would have. But those thoughts don’t last long, mostly only when I am on here reading all the raving reviews of them My F15 is plenty of power and just what I need.

Keep this thread rolling! As you noticed from my thread, it never ends.

Cheers!

Space grey just brings out the lines and contours of the F15 very well.
I'm partial of this color Build looks to be on the right track.

Good luck.

Thanks man. I read through the forum and many of your posts about your build were a help. I love the Space Grey myself as well.

It was too late to build a new 2018 when I purchased mine. A lot of options were not available. I could not find a Space Grey with Terra interior new anywhere. Luckily I came across my 2017 CPO with 6000 miles that was part of the Executive program so I had it shipped from San Antonio, TX to Pittsburgh, PA. Best part was the price was a steal at the time so left me extra cash to start modding immediately.

Only other color I would prefer if I had the option in the Donnington Grey specialty color BMW offers on some vehicles.

Nice! Glad I could be of help. DG is unique to X5M. Not sure if there are or were any individual colors for DG available for the X5
