BEWARE! The mod bug is very contagious.

Start on page 1 and work your way to the end, I’m sure you’ll find something that you can’t live without. HAH

Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm starting to change my stock car, starting with black kidney grills and coding with bimmercode. My F15 color is "IMPERIALBLAU BRILLANTEFFEKT METALLI (A89)" for this reason I feel it is more difficult to make a good custom.

I would really like to achieve something similar to yours.It is simply amazing!

Thanks for the compliments.
If I had the same color as you, I’d probably stick with gloss black for the stick-on bits/theme and CF on the interior.
In my opinion, the wheel choice can make or break the look of the vehicle. I recommend creating a thread and seek advice from the forum members if you are having a hard time.
I look forward to seeing your X5’s transformation, good luck!

Update on the RC XLR. Overall I’m still happy with its performance. I’ve put about 4K miles on it and have only had a few hiccups. There have been a few occasions where it was “jumpy”, I’m not sure why or what I did different to cause it. But overall it’s a great mod, and I recommend it.
Here are some recent shots from my daily driver.

Also I agree about the RC XLR, a very simple mod with immediate results.

My F16 was BSM, while living in Germany so I feel your pain.

I think maybe space grey might be best option for my climate. I've only ever had white or black vehicles though. Well, minus my first car, a burnt red/orange 1996 Pontiac sun fire 2 dr lol.

I dropped her off yesterday for a final check-up prior to my warranty expiring. They gave me a 2019 X7 with 430 miles on it as a loaner. The amount of tech in this thing is insane, I’m really enjoying the wireless charging and Apple Car Play.

Tech-wise, it's probably at different level, especially against the earlier years of F15.
Just don't know if I want so much tech in my cabin.
Body-wise, this grill is -still- killing it for me!

I dream of my younger years, where a nice radio would suffice!

Thanks for sharing!

How is the size of it? Is it substantially bigger than the f15? Also, would you trade your X5 for this X7? Just curious on your opinion, not that I can afford one right now lol

It is a totally different level, from the dash to the tailgate!

I’ve only put about 100 miles on so it’s tough. You can definitely feel the length of this SAV over our F15. But it’s not bad or too much. If I needed the room, if my kids were younger, I’d definitely trade it. The hardest part would be overlooking those bucktooth grills when walking back to the car. Once you’re in the seat, you can’t see them anymore.
If you need a true third row, or just more cargo room, it’s a great option, and I’d take this any day over a Suburban, QX80 or any of the other giant SUV’s.

Thanks for your opinion Violator

The carbon fiber interior trim looks AWESOME. I'm looking for a single source for all of the carbon fiber pieces you've got, as well as the black dakota leather OR alcantara knee pads. Is your contact Ben at RGSport the right place to go for that?

Thanks, I agree and it completely transforms the look/fee of the cabin.

No, I had the OEM CF bits added prior to delivery from Autohaus Schaal GmbH
BMW in Bitburg, Germany.
I have purchased numerous other mods from Ben / r33_RGSport. I recommend seeing what sort of packaged deal he can offer you and for the things he doesn’t carry, use your local BMW parts Dept.

Best of luck on your modding adventure!
Cheers,
V

Congratulation for the super mods.
Recently I bought a 2018 X5 35I, in the early 2000 I had a Ford expedition with a spoiler and that kept the rear end of the SUV almost clean no matter the weather conditions, I would like know If the M Performance rear spoiler manager to help keeping yours clean.
If so, is it a EOM or after market.
Thank you

The spoiler I have is the BMW OEM M-Perf spoiler for the F15/85. I’m not sure if it helps keep the rear end/lift gate clean or not.
Congrats on your new SAV, I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!

Hi, I would like to know if your spoiler is flush with the roof line, the one that I had on my old Expedition was about a inch or so higher and the back had a slight downward curve. The curve on it force the wind to produce the draft to keep the back end almost clean.
