Hi all,

New member here from Minneapolis. I've been lurking this forum for the past 6 months while heavily researching the purchase of an F15 X5. Thank you to all the forum members here and all the great insights you provide. It helped me greatly in the purchase of an '16 X5 35d m-sport!

This thing is an absolute riot to drive! Especially with the RaceChip Pro 2 installed. The 35d will likely dull the pain of storing my 987 Cayman S during the winter time.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi! I look forward to learning much more as I jump head-first into the BMW world...

Congrats on the new car.
Pictures would be greatly appreciated by the others.

I think I got the picture to pull from my Prime photos account correctly.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

That's a lot of lakes! Welcome, and let's see some photos. Remember: we'll push you to install LED headlights and 21" wheels!

OP did try to attach a pic in the orig post; it just doesn't show up.

Mitch,
Take that new ride to Brainerd Raceway to really feel what it will do. They will welcome you and your X5. You might see me with my X6, I drive up there from LaCrosse.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you. Although, when I head up to BIR I'll be in my Cayman!

Mitch567 · 12-01-2017, 10:10 AM

Anyone able to see either of the pictures in the original post? I can see both, but I'm not sure if it has to do with me being logged in to my Prime account or not? I don't think Prime photos is keen on image hosting. Drats.
