I just picked up an X5 x35 MSport

I've had it less than 24 hours and love it.

Went from an E90 M3 to this.

M3 to a 35i? How are you doing so far transitioning from the two different power plants?
Congrats on the purchase.. I also have the Space Gray Msport 35i

Congrats and welcome! Looks like a tune is in order considering the E90 you just came from.

Congratulations on your new car! Enjoy it in good health.

Please post more pics when you get the chance.

I plan on going with Space Gray on my next car in a couple months, but I have to admit that there are times when I see Space Gray in real life, I find the slight "purple " hue in it to be a deterrent for me.

There are times when I love it, then times when I don't, so much.

Maybe pics in different lighting conditions would help settle my indecisiveness.

Thanks

Congrats! Space Grey is definitely a great color on the F15!

Always curious how someone adjusts from driving a fast, small, lightweight car to a much slower, bigger, and heavier car.

There is clearly a huge difference in performance and agility between the two but I was already contemplating adding SUV/SAV because a newborn son. I was forced into it after some asshat distracted driver rear ended me as I sat at a red light.

I miss mine too and whenever I hear an E90/92 M3, I miss it even more

Given the opportunity, I would have kept my M3. I seriously considered the X5M but couldn't find one within 1500 miles of Miami. It turned out okay because the X5 x35 has enough power to make it enjoyable and the money I saved from not buying an X5M will go towards a GT3

@RR-NYC, bummer on the M3 Like Rob said, +1 to the Racechip Ultimate tune.. I just received mine the other day and this tune actually transforms the 35i into whole another machine... Pick up torque and power is much more satisfying now to me. Congrats again and good luck!

I really want to tune my car now hearing all these positive feedbacks... stock 35i does feel like it needs some extra power, it's not enough to move this heavy truck.

The age old question.... How much power is enough? Is kinda the same as How much money is enough? Answer: just a little bit more! ��

Space Gray, I have the same color and love it!

I love that color (same as mine), makes me want to go for a drive now...but I have 2.5 more hours before my weekend officially starts!!

I find that space grey really highlights the body lines, especially in the sun.
