yah, lots of bends in the piping used to get the tips to line up. Not nearly as simple as some other vehicles.

Nothing easier than cutting the muffler.
There is a separate long thread about it w/good reviews.

Ha ha... Can't satisfy everybody... Looking back, I should have painted stock ones or purchased the r1 concepts BBK.
But it does not look bad right now.

Really amazing transformation! Lots of hard work put into it. How long do you usually keep your vehicles for? How long do you anticipate keeping this X5 or potentially handing it down to a family member? I try to keep my cars 8-10 years.

This X5 is for life my friend.... Will fight to keep it alive!
A lot of effort and "dough"... Lets hope motor will stick around.
I change oil every 5k miles.

awesome work. just wondering, what was the overall ball park price to swap externals to m-sport?

i'm debating on doing this as well. but seems as if the prices for msport f15's are dropping fast since the a x5 g-series are coming soon i might just get the x15 with the msport option. thx

It depends on what price you find the bumpers.
The accompanying parts are not that expensive.
Best if you buy msport from factory.

Do you have a wider shot of the rear carbon fiber trunk spoiler? I recently ordered one but have only seen it on the F85. 😎

Yes, but body shop told me to watch. May have to use Betalink "reinforcement", as there is a small gap.
