I can fully understand you My 3yr boy made the seat not "that shiny new" in a few seconds without protector

Yes, original BMW seat protectors (+ a lot of pockets, very convenient), multiple colours available.

Had to remove the rear screen (not very hard) to install one.

Fog lights are LED by definition (option 5A1) on all new X6, but I've got 5A3 "Night Vision with Dynamic Light Spot and pedestrian recognition" which is using fog lights to warn pedestrians / animals (flashing to them), "LED foglights Not with 5A3"

well I settled for a 35d X5...that should tell you how much I wanted a Diesel...let alone a M50d X6

To be honest, I don't remember the brand - something from Amazon, transferred from my GT... Very good quality, using for 3 years, also convenient to have some additional pockets

p.s. Looks like I found it

My Britax child seat came with a seat back protector...fits ok, and definitely helps protect the seat back from muddy/dirty shoes and boots from the kiddies.

Hey Alan,

The X5/X6 M50D all come with BMW's "Ferric Grey" badging. They're a dark chrome color and come in a different font than the standard X5's. Similar to the M235i.

Part #51148059011 for X5

Noticed you have baby seat. My wife really wanted a x4/x6 however due to slopping roof line in back went x5. How do you find this?
No, steering wheel on right side from my position!

In Australia we get the M50d x5 and x6m50d. About time the convicts got something...

Not a problem at all, I'm 186cm high and can seat on the back seat without hitting the roof

Fuel consumption is 4-5 times higher for a petrol M, + CO2 is very high (huge taxes).


In the UK one litre of fuel is about 2$, so it's many times higher than in the US.

I can find some better way to spend money than to waste ~1000$ per month in a fuel

Nice build! Since I 'needed' a third row, I had to get the X5 M50d. Should be here in about a month. I'll probably add some carbon bits too, but I may keep the mirrors in Ferric Grey, time will tell

Looks great except for the horrible mess of badges they put on the back. I would debadge it ASAP before someone rear ends you trying to read all those letters

p.s. Now i see... The badge looks like a black chrome one. But it's not - just a bad weather It's a standard BMW badge (from factory). The car was assembled in the US.

Do you have the website link? I would like to order some M Performance parts too. Thanks!!!

Hi

It's not a website, but small private company with a few employees.

I can share contacts for sure, savings are massive anyway.
