Did you get a hold of my to do mod list? Lol steering trim and reupholstering, paddle shifters.
How is the fit and finish behind the wheel/where there’s no stitching holding things in place? I saw someone with a similar kit and the leather was bunched up and or was sticking out behind the wheel by the controls. Is the added thickness that noticeable? |

glad i can help another member save and use the saving towards other mods Quote:
Fitment is perfect, and if done right the extra fabric tucks into the wheel controls thickness wise it adds 1.2mm-1.5mm thickness and it feels great. This my also help i created a thread on my thoughts of the wrap: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1740289 |

I got all alcantara with a single white stripe. I was gonna get white, black, white stripes but I figured that could be a little too much in the long run.

Yeah I thought about a white marker and white stitching and thread to match the exterior theme of my X5. Instead went with blue to match the blue ambient lighting. Yeah I know I can change the lighting to white but like the blue lighting.

test run
I was quoted $300+ to vinyl wrap my roof rails had some left over Plasti dip, so decided to give it a shot. Let's see how well it holds up.
Prep: 5th and final coat: Finished product with glossifier (2x coats): |

Added paddle shifters. Couldn’t find any CF that fitted for the M-Sport wheel would have had to remove the current and install M shifters decided to go with these for now.

M Performance Power Kit
I’ve heard good things and also heard it’s overrated. With that said, I just received my large white envelope (MPPK) in the mail.
Appt set for Thursday. Let’s see what you’re all about |

Price went up a few bucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-BMW-F22...9-d2f03e0b8196 |

Ordered the sides on Tuesday and got tracking that they will he delivered on 8/12, Fedex. That’s incredible considering it’s been 3 weeks and still waiting on packages from florida and California through USPS. I hate USPS so much.

MPPK installed.
here is a pic of the sport display dials showing 400 and engine badge First impressions: I already put on 40+ miles while on sport mode and gotta say I’m pretty happy with it. As NYC_X5 mentioned, the gear shifts feel much smoother. I also feel a difference in acceleration better response and power. Can’t wait to give it a go in sports +. |
