Joining the club

Most of you know me from the M6 forums but this time around because of our harsh winters and the need for something more practical I am back with another X5. My 4th one and first X5M. I know another one of you has the same color combo, and I have all the M performance parts. Picking it up tonight. Love some input on future exhaust possibilities. I have a heavily modified M6 with Akro/M performance exhaust, AMS DPs, Gruppe M intake, Vorsteiner Body, and HRE S101 wheels plus Dinan tune. Looking to do the RKP diffuser as well and possibly some wheels but nothing more.

Peace,
Noushy

Thanks guys, I really love the conversations on this forum, very supportive and informative. If you look at the last pic you can see the mirror caps and the black side grills. The front grills were modified for the night vision and now on as well as the pedals and the cf center console. I will send pictures tonight when we pick it up. The RKP diffuser is ordered and still need help with an exhaust. If Akra is coming out with one then I will definitely wait for it. Just looked, it was Journeyguy who has the same vehicle. Hoping he chimes in.

Thanks again you guys are great. Just got it home. Let my teenage son drive it back. Here are some quick shots in the garage. Had to park the M6 outside tonight.

Bold man! Share his impressions! What did your son say about the drive?

There's an unbiased source for a review.

Luca his initial impression was how much it drove like a taller M6. He loved it, wanted to take it to school today. That is where I drew the line. Here are a few outside pictures.

Congrats to you, dad! That proves two things (at least): 1) great car; 2) smart young man.

Can you give more info about how you blacked out the kidney grills? I also have night vision and afraid to remove them for paint in order not to "damage" the night vision camera
