My X5 50i X-Line (Mineral White w/ Black Dakota Leather) w/ 22" 310M Wheels
So, I finally got around to washing the car and taking pictures in nice weather. They were taken with my phone (Note 3 -13mp). I wish I had a better camera like atomic80 . So far so good. Loving how it looks and drives . Feel free to comment/ask any questions! Thanks!

Very nice. Windows tinted? If so, how much?

Thanks. Yes, tinted with 18% Carbon Tint on front windows (we have this on all of our cars and it blends nicely).
Mineral White is metallic and has a very slight shiny off-white hue to it. You can see tiny rainbow specs of color in it; this can also be seen in paints like the Carbon Black. Alpine White is a purely solid white. Last edited by opasha; 04-19-2014 at 05:42 PM.. |

Beautiful car. Really like the color.
I still can't quite figure out how to upload my photos and yet you've seen to do it so easily. I need my wife. Lol.

1. Go to photobucket.com (I just signed up for free. It's probably the easiest way to upload pics I've come across) 2. Upload from Computer and browse to your pics on your computer. Hold Ctrl and click all the pics you want to upload. 3. Once uploaded, browse through each pic and you will see copy and paste links on the right. Choose the last one called "URL" (just click the full URL and it will automatically copy) 4. Open a thread reply here at bimmer post and simply right click and paste or press/hold Ctrl and press V to paste the URL. 5. All done! Preview your post too see how it looks and save/reply. |

Updated Pictures. It was kind of a cloudy day. I do plan on finding a more scenic area when I take more pictures. I want to try capturing some night pictures soon as well. Enjoy .

As far as performance brakes are concerned, yes, I will definitely be upgrading in the near future. I have a few projects lined up in order though. My first is interior High Gloss Carbon Fiber steering wheel, shifter, and wood panel conversion. Second will be the 6WB cluster. Then we'll see whether it's C-Quartz Finest pain protection, brakes or an exterior wrap .

Well, as far as paint protection, for me personally, it's to protect my car from every day grime and keep it cleaner since I normally just do touch free washes and hand clean/treat my wheels/tires. It's just a matter of convenience and giving the car a nice higher gloss look with a plus of the water-beading effect . I got a good price as well so I figured I'd look into it. Mods are very addictive, indeed . I just changed my turn signal lights a week ago and am very happy with them. Essentially, this is the look I am going for for my Carbon Fiber conversion:

Where did you get the wheels? BMW's online configurator doesn't show them as an option. When I Google for them, I get the following ShopBMWUSA link: http://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/38...SET/?Year=2013
They say 21" not 22".

X-Line
So if its a X-Line why are the wheel well aches not black? I am confused and getting ready to order. I like the X-Line front end and the running boards, you have the running boards but not the black arches???????????
Well I guess they are, looked at the pictures closer, black, looks great on the white and that's what I am ordering. |
