I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about this. Is this poggy-stick behavior happen during normal driving, or are we talking about going over speed bumps, etc.? In Florida, the streets are relatively flat, so this might not be an issue.

Worked at it for quite a while and no matter what, it would easily come off with a pretty light touch (certainly not good enough for highway speeds). The outermost tab seemed like it would not grip and click in like the OEM one would. For you or anyone else that has done this, did you use the AutoTecknic caps? They are definitely thicker than the OEM. Wondering if anyone else had issues like I have? I have asked them to send me a replacement passenger mirror cap, but I'm not confident it will work if the mold they're using isn't perfect (the next one they send may have the exact same issue). Any info/experience with the AutoTecknic CF caps is greatly appreciated.

No such issues on mine. They snapped in perfectly! Where did you buy from? Hopefully Ben (RG Sport) on these forums? If not, hopefully the seller can honor a replacement.

Unfortunately not (eBay). Thanks for the info. The seller is sending me a replacement passenger mirror cap, so I'll be trying that shortly and hopefully it works!

Before & After

Much better overall look and feel than the squared 19's IMO.

Now it's time to clean up the old wheels/tires and get them ready to sell!

Got my baby a much needed detailing job today. End result is definitely satisfactory, lol.

Even after almost 2 years, I'm still excited to take this thing out for a spin.

Can you post yours with 599m wheels?

I also have a non M Sport package X5 and looking to buy a set of 599
Here you go! Need flares with the bigger wheels.
Nice... where did you get the flares? What part # for the black ones.

Thank you so much in advance.
Actually, I haven't ordered mine yet. But I did go to getbmwparts.com and found them. I'm going by the stealership this week or next to see if they'll price match and get installation quote. Will post pics once I've got them on!
Do they stick out a lot w/o the flares?

I don't have flares on mine and looking at this set up too

Stock suspension? Spacers? I have the same wheels and they look more aggressive on yours (I think).

Here's a side profile pic, sticks out a bit on both axles. Love the back but the fronts are what prompted me to get arches.

I ordered the arches today. Hopefully they'll be in next week. Will post more pics when they're on.

BTW, the guys at getBMWparts (what a bunch of rockstars ) built me a package for flared arches (Contains all 4 arches and mounting rivets and bolts) for a X5 base model.

They have the black plastic version as well as the other version ready for painting. Check out the site and search for PKF15X5WHEELFLARES.

Stock Suspension: Yes
Spacers: No

If you've got the same wheels, suspension and no spacers they should look identical. Maybe it's the angle of the shot???

Army, indeed! I do most of my shopping in the commissary/PX.

A lot of people tease me about being cheap, but it's only because I only spend big money on my toys... other than that, I'm pinching pennies, lol.

I used to wear BDUs when I first joined (seems like ages ago) but our current uniform is the ACU (OCP)
ACU= Army Combat Uniform
OCP= Operational Camouflage Pattern

The uniform has officially changed 4 times since I've been in
