wow, even stronger than the Hamann. According to Hendrick, the Hamann evo are both 950kg front and rear.

Some iphone pics... Had both kids in the back seat asleep so I just jumped out to snap these real quick.

Alan, looking really good.

Missed my X5 already.

Kzang · 10-05-2015, 08:40 AM

The more I look at your X5 Alan, the more I want the rear side fins/wings...

Do you get a lot of debris trapped in between the car and the CF piece?

Alan l. · 10-05-2015, 09:17 AM

I like the wings personally. It reminds me of the first gen X5 4.6 lower rear portion which i always liked. Gives the back a more square, wider appearance.

It does get dirty in between there but I just stick my wheel brush to clean it. Same as if i was cleaning around the exhaust tips area.

This is the wheel brush i use for my wheels, exhaust tips, rear flaps, brake ducts or wherever my mitt can't reach.

Alan - your car is stunning, very tasteful modifications. Thank you for sharing your upgrade story. My 1 series came with the M Sport brake upgrade (not the rotors) as a factory fit. The SO has just bought a second hand X3 and is tempted to do an upgrade.

dubsesd · 10-05-2015, 04:12 PM

Looks great Alan. Maybe change the lip stripe to blue now to match your brakes!?

Alan l. · 10-05-2015, 04:23 PM

Funny i actually thought about doing that once i saw the brakes on the car. Just not sure the blue would stand out as much as the red currently there. Easy enough to swap back and forth i guess.

**edit - Just ordered some blue stripe tape. If i don't like it i still have plenty of red ones to go back on

omg, that's exactly what I was thinking to do on mine too. I was thinking since yours is red, I might better be doing blue.

Alan l. · 10-05-2015, 05:33 PM

I might just end up keeping the red. I honestly prefer the red caps more than the black.

That looks good. I would definitely pass on a X5M and build a X5 exactly like yours. Add one to your /jelly list

Looks great. Can you tell me what you used to have the red strip in the front carbon fibre lip? Or where you purchased this red tape? Beautiful!!

Alan l. · 10-11-2015, 06:42 AM

I used 1/4" 3M pin stripe vinyl on the front lip. Comes in a wide range of colors.

Hi Alan, it sure does look amazing. Have you thought about trying to do the same for the rear diffuser somehow? Did you buy the strip online? Is this the one you purchased? There is a choice of red or tomato red..

Hey Alan

I just concluded my order for the F15 xDrive40D and car will be arriving around mid January

. I really love what you've done with your f15 infact you're the reason i bought this car. Anyways, I want to customize it exactly like yours but i will have to order in all exterior parts used. Is there a way you give me the pricing and relevant details on how i can get them delivered in Tanzania?

Alan sure does have a beautiful F15. He's also inspired my F15 too!

Ninjaoz · 10-13-2015, 08:02 AM

nice photos. I notice the exhaust tips are sticking out (protruding) a little more than usual, did you install them like that on purpose?

Congrats and thanks!

Most of my parts could be purchased from any BMW dealer. Finding these used will be hard since not many people mod the X5 and its still relatively new. For wheels contact Baan Velgen. They gave me the best price for my BBS.

Its just how the M Performance exhaust comes. I'm sure you can tweak it maybe 1/4" if you really want. I compared mine with another members MPE and mine was just a hair further out which i like.

Thanks!

This was one of my only builds where I am completely satisfied with the outcome and don't want to change a thing first time around.

Alan

Kzang · 10-13-2015, 09:25 AM

The MPE tips are adjustable.. Mine was originally sticking out more like Alan's but I asked the tech to adjust the tips a little. Mine sticks out slightly and I like it this way so if any black residue comes out of the exhaust it doesn't drip on the bumper.
