Looking forward to the end result

Haha, you said it!

Taran.J · 02-23-2015, 08:21 PM

Just placed an order with @r33 for a BMS intake. Should be looking for it late this week or early next week. Can't wait for some faster turbo spooling noises lol

Taran.J · 02-25-2015, 06:12 PM

Alpine white painted engine cover

Jet Black painted mirror cap covers

Yup told you I'm going a different direction haha unfollowing the norm of X5's around here and before.

r33_RGSport · 02-25-2015, 07:52 PM

Taran.J , man, you are ahead of me. I was thinking of painting the engine cover also.

Great minds think alike

I haven't seen this type of 3 Series mods on the X5 so I'm trying to tastefully work on this X5 haha

Doanster · 02-25-2015, 09:44 PM

Sheesh! You certainly do not waste any time when it comes to mods. Painted engine cover... nicely played!
Common thread for you crazy/fast modders is... the F15 isn't the wife's car, right? The rest of us have to do stuff on the sly.

Ben, you don't count if you say it is since you own a shop!

Yup wifey drives our modified 09 ML63 she's more than happy with what I did to that so she understands I don't deal with stock cars in a slow build process. Especially if it's my daily. My other weekend toys I take my sweet ass time on haha

r33_RGSport · 02-25-2015, 11:50 PM

@Doanster, agreed.

Hey, we should meet up in April, I will fly in to Portland and stay for a few says before driving up to Seattle. Doing my half-ass west coast road trip since my kids are not old enough for a full stretch west coast road trip.

Sure. Keep me posted.
Too bad you're not doing the full road trip in the F15 though.

Taran.J · 02-26-2015, 11:20 AM

Installed my mirror caps and engine cover. I'll post up pics later but holy shit do the mirror caps make a difference against the factory matched front window tint on my F15.

Doanster · 02-26-2015, 02:17 PM

White just provides so many options with which to throw contrast into the mix. Mirror caps, black roofs, splitters, etc. Even the MPerf rocker panel sticker would look great. Not so much if I slapped it on my CB.

Why I went with AW this time around instead of JB lol

Taran.J · 02-26-2015, 05:46 PM

Here are my Pics of my mirror caps painted in jet black 668 to match the shadow line trim as close as possible. I love the look, classy and yet still in your face.

Taran.J · 02-26-2015, 05:51 PM

Here is the pictures of my painted engine bay cover (Alpine White III 300)

My BMS intake should be here tomorrow or the day after from @r33 So it will complete my engine bay display area thanks to Steve Thomas BMW and Parts Pros for their parts delivery to me.

Good thing is I've just order replacement parts so I have all of my stock pieces in a big plastic bin for my F15 just in case I ever need them again or need to go in for warranty work which I doubt these will affect

delviacv2 · 02-26-2015, 05:55 PM

Engine cover looks great!

X5RIZ · 02-26-2015, 09:50 PM

Really nice...mirrors and engine bay.

Which plate mount are you running ?

Front end and engine is perfect
