Hi All,

Finally had my 599s fitted, few more parts to come but they're on backorder
Paint issues are resolved so let the mods begin

Your driveway game is strong! How do you like your CLS? I'm debating between the CLS 63 and the M6. I've driven the CLS 63. Haven't had the opportunity to experience an M6. I drove an 650i XDrive GC, at one of the BMW X Drive events. It was, surprisingly, a monster on the roads. I'd put it just a hair down from our old E63 AMG.

No disrespect to the CLS (and RS7 for that matter) gorgeous cars. But the M6 GC is in a league of its own (visually, at minimum), IMHO.

Agreed the M6 GC is an animal in comparison to the RS7 but the cls63 sounds mean. I ran an M6 GC prior to the X5 and it was mental!! The power delivery was brutal, you'll love it if like me you like to fight your car round corners.

CLS is the wife's car, only a 250cdi but I get a solid 48-50mpg out of it plus my wife like the slightly softer drive in comparison to the M sports. However she has no choice and will be receiving a 640d next year( she doesnt know yet!!)

@parm, Congrats, buddy! The car looks great with the 599s . The CLS is a nice touch as well. You're very nice to your wife - I'm sure she will love the 640d! What mods are you planning, good sir?

Hey Opasha

How are you buddy? I've got it booked in for the grille and the carbon rear aero flaps. I'm hoping to get the front lip aswell but my wife will be pis:ed if she sees it so I'll wait a few weeks. Other than that in waiting to see what you experienced guy and girls do to see what looks awesome

Quite fancy the burger or AC tune but I'm yet to be convinced it will make a real world difference to the car. I'm waiting to see some performance stats to see if it's really worth it. Ditto on the brakes they seem good enough to me but hey what do I know, I like to cruise !!!!!!

I'm quite well, thank you for asking, my friend. How about yourself? Those mods sound excellent on your build.

Someone mentioned a Hartge tunning for your particular model. I'm not sure exactly what the differences are but here's their website: http://www.hartge.de/e/bmw_6884.html.

Everyone drives their cars differently...I like being able to corner hard .

Sweet lookin X5! Please post pics of your grill spoilers when you get them on. Thinking of doing the same

[vladberca]

What interior do you have? At least the exterior looks great

[Krill]

Congrats parm! Stunning car!
How´s the ride on the 599´s? Any vibration issues on the highway? I´m thinking about getting an X5 but was put off after the test drive last week, the 30d I borrowed from my stealership had the dreaded vibration around 90 km/h. There are a few members here who are having the same issues.. Really hope they get it sorted as the car is awesome otherwise!

[Shorty Shorty]

No vibration on my 40s with 599s on. Without meaning to sound like I'm talking to you like a child, you sure it's no the lane changing warning vibration you felt?

[originalgoods13]

Congratulations!

No worries. No I'm talking about the whole car shaking. Good to hear that yours rides smoothly!!

Any more mods done to the car ? New pics please ?
