Mods almost complete, my build

[Violator]

Update: The latest mod I’ve done was to wire tap my Uniden R7 to the rear view mirror. It’s such an easy mod, I regret putting it off for so long and putting up with the wire dangling down.

How much are you lowered in the front/back? Also, did you get CarPlay yet?

Thanks to you I just got the interior CF trim along with the shift and center console on mine as well. The center and door trims took a month to ship from Germany. But they really enhance the look. For the center, I left the Piano black trim that my car came with. The black matches the gloss black center stack.

The CF is high quality. I am tempted to upgrade my steering to the M Performance version but don't want to lose the heated function.

I agree, the M Performance CF Trim kit is high quality and a great upgrade to the interior.
As for the steering wheel, I’m sure you’re aware of the Coby option or other options for the upgrade and retaining the heated wheel function. If not, send r33_RGSport a request or search for Coby steering wheel and you’ll find what you’re looking for.
The knee-pad mod is another one that I feel that really makes the cabin look and feel much nicer.
Cheers!

Violator, where did you get the wheels and tires? There are a lot of options to get in online, was wondering if there is a particular store/shop?

Looks great man, super clean and tasteful.

I never measured the actual drop, I used the Eibach Pro springs which are one of the smallest drops but still very OEM feel/comfort.
No CarPlay upgrade/mod for me. While I like the conveniences that it offers, I’m content without it.

I bought my wheels from the one and only @P1et, and my current set of tires from my local Discount Tire.

Thanks. I ended up doing most of what you have. Only differences are I kept my Piano black center trim with the CF Interior. I think it looks nice and works well with the shadow line outside and the black in the center stack. If I could match my leather exactly, it might be worth it. I also haven't put the outside vent cover - not sure if I want to go with CF or gloss black.

Aside from that, I have 469 wheels for Summer, but for winter got square 469. They are 19 inch rims, don't look as nice but are very comfortable. Still have them on. I also just ordered the front grill trim from RG Sports (the one from M50d) the silver should look nice with the wheels.

I really like your wheels. I believe they are 21-inches. I hesitate to get 21 inches because my friend has 21-inch rims and the ride is a little too harsh for DD for me.

I also have the MPBK and upgraded my speakers to Focal.

Your X5 is one of the two that really inspired me. I love the exterior lines of the F15 and with the M Performance kit it looks even better. I also prefer the more rugged interior design in the F15 to the G05. The new G05 is more refined, but the F15 looks better to me aesthetically. Glad I could see your thread here for inspiration!

My next upgrade will be Dinan springs and tune. There is a Dinan dealer right next to me.

P1et is now P1, but he's not a vendor, just happened to be selling a set. Unless of course P1 has a stockpile of OEM wheels in his garage that we're not aware of

Part # is for the front is 36-11-6-796-149, and I see 2 for the rear, not sure what the difference is, specs looks the same - 36-11-6-796-150 & 36-11-6-796-151. No longer sold as a set new so you'd need to buy individually ($$$$) or wait for a used set to pop up, which they do occasionally.
