Our X5 has a mate
was going to post this in the "daily picture" thread, but figured it deserved it's own spot.
New (to me) CPO 2014 535i Xdrive, black sapphire metallic on dakota black, luxury line; joins our 2016 X5, space gray metallic on dakota MSport. Yes, before anyone says, I'm planning to put the black kidneys on the X5, as well as the IND gloss black roundels (front and back) and the gloss black X5. Also planning to take off the "XDrive 35i" on the X5. No big mods for the 535; I'll probably take off the "XDrive" and 535i, but for now that's it. I might do the all black roundels and center caps on the wheels, but we'll see. the X5 is the wife's daily driver and the 535 replaces my 2007 Honda CRV that made it (RIP) to 200K miles! Now my OCD kicks in to hyperdrive... I must now lurk on 2 forums, X5 AND 5 series Last edited by zinengineer; 03-06-2017 at 10:06 PM.. |

These have become so affordable now, essentially a no brainer! Great choice.

@zinengineer looks good.
You don't need to lurk in both forum, just ask me. I had both cars. So I know a lot on them.

Why does the X5 look sportier and beefier than the 535i...
Congrats on the pair.

I think it's those massive tires on the rear....they're the biggest **** tires I've seen. BTW - switched the X5 to DWS06's and plan to do the same on the 535.

this is what a M sport looks like: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=403526 BMWs of the same generation all follow similar design cues. So a X-line or luxury-line X5 should look similar to a standard F10, and M Sports should all have the same designs namely: 1. wider front intakes (also, notice the M Sport intakes are flipped upside down for the actual M cars) 2. flared side skirts 3. straight-down taper of the rear bumper

I was hoping to find a F10 M Sport CPO, but they seem to be rarer than a purple unicorn.....at least in the price range I was willing to spend.
We're empty nesters, so I'm not sure my wife would characterize her drive as "soccer mom".....we had the late '80's Volvo 740 GL wagon for that service!!! But yes, the X5 M Sport does look very cool.....

Great choices! Very Nice!! Same great engine in both also. You are going to love the folding side mirrors.
Get the Carly for BMW Gen II Adapter plus the Android/iOS app and have great fun coding both cars.
