New X5M Owner

ctdw · 08-25-2017, 06:25 PM

Picked up my new X5M last Friday...it replaced my X4 M40i. Had Xpel installed last weekend and it just got coated with GTechniq Crystal Serum Light today.

Ordered all black kidney grills and side grills and will be installing them this weekend or next week as my first mods...

Congrats!!!
I just worked on one in Black Sapphire with Gloss Black Wheels too today.

That yellow reflector gotta go though.

ctdw · 08-26-2017, 10:08 PM

Thanks for the feedback...will be covering up the reflectors with tint film for now...may get painted reflectors later.

Thinking about doing this. Did you get them from BMW? Easy to install?

It looks great!

It's not too bad...took around 40 mins to install. It's my second time doing it...did it on my previous car. I got them from GetBMWparts.com.

This is a link with some instructions...

Here is the latest pic with the side grills switched to black and tint film installed over the amber side markers...

Beautiful!

What other mods do you have planned?

I think the next one will be black chrome badges from IND to replace the chrome badges on rear. Not sure though since the tail pipes are chrome and I don't see a good option to change that since I don't want to replace the exhaust.

Maverik259 · 09-24-2017, 09:03 PM

I wish you could quality black and white badges. Full black and white. Not black rim.

chuchob · 09-26-2017, 10:07 AM

The vehicle looks amazing. Are those the new 21" black rims?
