I had to go to a dealer since nobody had the tires nor TPM sensors I needed.

Sorry to hear that. Where did you end up getting service?

Sorry just have crappy iphone pics for now. Waiting for the exhaust to come before I take some nicer shots of this one.

Woah. The real question is, though, don't you miss the 35i?

Can't say that i do

I do have to say that the 35i with mppk was setup to be a more comfortable, smooth daily driver compared to the M. I now understand why some people opt to get a fully loaded 50i with a msrp of 95K and not go for the X5M because they are truly designed for two different purposes. The M isn't for everyone because the transmission is sort of funky because they made it act like a DCT both the good and bad aspects of it. The suspension is also very firm even in comfort setting. I love the M but sometimes i kinda wish it can be as smooth as the 35i when i'm just going to the grocery store with my kid. I can't complain though because this thing is basically a super car disguised in a suv body since it can rip on almost anything on the road if I wanted to

Is it Niche Form or Vossen VFS2? How many inches? :-)

Taran.J · 06-23-2016, 04:59 PM

Back in the X5, it's become a rarity as I bought this for my daily but the wife drives it. Oh well

He upgraded to the X5M/X6M paddle shifter bought from me.

It is Niche Form 22".

opasha does it sticking out on the front and recessed in the rear? It seems like it since you don't have a flare and I just noticed that.
You may want to do the fender flare and throw in spacer in the rear.

Yup RG Sport helped me get the same shifter as the proper M couldn't be happier

Are the instrument panels different for certain X5s? I noticed that mine looks different than yours...

Mine isn't digital. Less things to worry about in the long term as a purchaser

Which option is that? I just looked through the ordering guide and did not see an option to get a different instrument panel. How do you select one or the other?

My X5 is pretty basic I think all I ordered it with was 35i M sport and HK speakers.

I see. Just wondering which package one needs to order to get the better instrument panel...
