Thanks EuroCarFan. How'd you track this down? I was thinking about getting RW Carbon come spring time but this looked great on Satish ride so now I'm wondering. I'm always concerned buying from a random company on EBay though. Any thoughts?

Was just bored and was browsing through eBay. hahaha I already have all the body pieces too but was just wondering what's out there.

I have no clue about quality and fitment of that seller so hopefully @satish1015 can chime in. I noticed the shipping fee is $1100 though. LOL

New Gloss Black Grills and Gills. Picked up from the dealer after and washed and waxed it using AMMO hydrate. Love that stuff.

I also put on the aftermarket brake pedals and foot rest. For $30 or so bucks I like it a lot.

Man I'm still jealous of that interior.

Thanks! No need to be jealous but I greatly appreciate the comment. It is an intriguing interior. My fav. I'm going to look for this mod next. This was from a BMW individual magazine.

I had saw a red one on eBay a while back but didn't get it cause I already have red shifter paddles, red M1/M2 and red Start/Stop buttons. Maybe you should get something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-BMW-F20...4AAOSwzcdfmvyR

Not sure if that one fits our steering wheel though.

Not really feeling that particular one with those other parts attached. I do prefer this one but not in carbon fiber. I have no CF in my car, it's all piano black gloss.

I did find just the red part but need to investigate a bit further to see if the red would match those red M1-M2 buttons or the interior.

They also have this product in several other colors. I'd shop around for lower price.

Yeah I just sent that one as an example and forgot you have piano black instead of CF interior trim.

The one you found on Amazon seems ridiculously overpriced since it's not even OEM and they even have a comment not guaranteeing fitment. The M Performance CF outer trim like the one in my pic below retails for around that price. And as you can see, I have lots of red bits so maybe I should find a gloss/piano black inner steering wheel trim to replace the aluminum.

Definitely over priced. In my search I believe I saw it for a lower price but may have saved the first one I saw for reference.

I'm sort of on the fence on the red M buttons. Not sure if it would be a distraction. The eye always goes to the contrasting color which by design is what you want regarding the M buttons. Still not sure if it's for me although intrigued.

Even a chrome delete on the emblem lettering! Looks menacing. Nice work

Yeah that was the final piece lol. I had the black chrome emblem from IND but there was still silver chrome on it. The emblems I bought were not worth the price unless you are obsessed with black like I am lol.

I'm new here (well, been on bimmerpost forever, 335i->F10 M5 -> and now this new to me '18 X5M).

Just dropping a pic in here for posterity after I drove it up to the mountains to take up some lumber & firewood, and then washed it the first time. Loving it!

But seriously how did that pic all go down if you have time to tell I'm interested in hearing.... seen many of your posts this is badass

Honestly is one of those u stop and have a photographer ready across the street and honestly. Plus in this act the cops actually passed us 2 times and didn't say a word nor asked us to move. Cars were able to still pass by so we was good. Lol
