Weather unseasonably warm...circa 20c. I like driving the wife's car more than the convertible clk. I just took it for the day and cranked up the music.

Let's see what happens when she goes to the garage later.

You wanted random...cannot compete with California and 'the boys of summer' et al, so here's one from a wet, windy England in the winter.

Niko, you do have EXCELLENT taste in music

Waiting for your update.
Also, can't these be used with regular hoses and not with pressure washer? I mean most household hoses give a lot of pressure with right nozzle and you really don't need that much pressure to foam a car, right?

Removed those pesky visor stickers tonight. Wasn't too hard. Thanks to @Opasha for the help to remove the visors. After that it was pretty simple left a damp micro fiber over the sticker and then like thin plasti dip I removed it with my thumb by rubbing it and it came off as one whole piece. I used some Rite Aid brand cheap ass rubbing alcohol btw 70%.

Have a VMR wheels photoshoot tomorrow at 7am so had to sexy up the X5 for it

Slowly but surely we have a few X5 coming together on the forums. I just can't wait for a video of your air ride. I want to see it laid out once to see how low it would go
