Pics! Just Picked Up And Tricked Out!

HEY EVERYONE! I finally got my 2017 X5 xDrive 35i Msport. It took just over two months from the time I placed the order to the time I got it due to getting an individual color. So worth the wait though. Once it went into production it was literally at my dealer in Minneapolis in two weeks! Once it got there they needed to keep it for another four days to install some stuff I wanted. Tons of pictures below! Let me know what you think! I was afraid to drive it off the show floor! Its too pretty LOL. I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR!

My build and pics below

The Individual color looks nice against the black wheels and other M Performance parts. Very well done.

Why did you go 15% front and 20% rear?

With the rears already having dark tint the 15 darkened it a bit more. The fronts already have tint too. so the 20 percent made it a little better too. Have to have a prescription in Minnesota for less than 30 on the fronts.

I bought them from the parts department at my dealer. They are pretty neat. They come with like five different lenses to choose from. One was black and white BMW symbol another was the M logo etc. I forget what the others are. You can change them out as you wish. Oh another was an X5 logo or just an X i think.

Normally my default input here would be to replace the amber reflectors with color-matched units, but since you ordered an Individual color... you'd have to have a set custom painted vs buying a pre-painted set from a vendor. Would look great though if you want to spend a little $$. You already went all-out with the other bits, so I'd say finish this off.

Nice looking ride. Cool color. I agree, at least debadge the side 35i emblems. 21" or 22' wheels with a slight drop in suspension would really look sharp.

Amazing. I would paint those reflectors, immediately. Also you need to debadge that side "35ixwhatever".

Plasti dip the X5 logo and round-emblem surrounding gloss back. And you can paint the exhaust tips easily gloss black with a spray can. That would look Perfect!
