The red button was super easy to install. I used the stickie method. I have a video showing how it was done.

The Small M emblems in black turned out pretty good. As for the rear badge, it was longer than the OEM X5 badge. Not sure if I like it or not... but its on the car for the time being.

Lastly, the M puddle lights. Cause why not?

Looks good!
Did you have to take out the center console trim for the red button install? Or did you just use a pry tool?

Kinda liking those puddle lights .. might just do that for fun

It arrived quicker than I expected. I'd like to thank Matt from RW Carbon. 3D Style Spoiler/Diffuser

If anyone is interested in getting this kit, I also made a how to install doc.

There was something missing from the X5 MSport bumper. And I think this kit addresses that. Seems complete now!

Looks really aggressive now. How long did the install take ?

I'd say two hours. Working slowly.

Super easy to install. Fitment is outstanding.

I wanted to update this ongoing thread. Just hardwired the Escort today. Super easy using the MirrorTap wire. I followed a forum members (@NVRfollo) write-up.

Plug the red MirrorTap where the green/black wire is. Then plug the black MirrorTap wire to the black/brown wire.


My results...

Is that the Passport Xi? Can you share the mount info? Where did you purchase from? Is it blend mount?

Thanks

Space Grey Metallic is the color.. My editing might enhance the color a bit

[daytonaviolet]

Looks great 👍🏽. What mount is that and will it work with a V1?

It's the Escort 360C. Mount is the standard mount from escort for the time being. However, I do have the BlendMound coming. With the BlendMount all you are really doing is removing it from being attached to the windshield. You still have to take apart the escort magnetic piece and attach it to the blendmount.

Purchased the Escort 360C from BestBuy.

At the moment... currently using the mount that came with the 360C.

But I will be utilizing a BlendMount just to get it off of the windshield.

Good stuff thank you for posting this! I have the Redline and just bought the M1 dashcam to piggyback it. I use the sticky-cup currently but want to maybe do the Blendmount if it isnt to obstructive. Could you maybe please post some more shots? Maybe some side shots and some different angles? Also, which part number?

Sure, give me a minute or two and I'll post more pics.

Which part number..., for the MirrorTap Wire?

Thx! No the blendmount. I use the mirror taps already. Thx!

Well, it depends on your mirror stock. Apparently, there are two types.

If you have the stock that is circled in red, then you need the one I purchased.

Yeah that looks great, I'm going to debadge mine including the the "X5" on the rear when I get around to it.

What the best product to get the excess glue off with?

Awesome! Confirmed fitment with blendmount and they also sell the adapter screws to piggyback the M1 dashcam on as well. Ordering this badboy. Thank you again!
