Nice! Thanks for confirming that. I also found the E70 brakes to be randomly squeaky. The F15 only squeaks in reverse sometimes, but not sure if that's my Parking brake not fully releasing and rubbing to make the squeak. I have to take it in for service in the next month or two so I'll get the PB lubed or whatever. I'm glad BMW improved on the brake dust issue...it's great for guys with Car-OCD like me.

My lip sticks out too and although I love that look, it makes the lip of wheel so much more vulnerable to curb rash...there's zero buffer/protection between you and mr curb bastard lol...but not really lol.

DINAN Stage 1 and new Carbon Fiber / Black Wrap

Wheels will go black most likely soon.

Yes, orange deflectors too... and Black & Grey carbon fiber badges all around... I know, I know.... soon.

Thoughts?

mpowered5 · 08-09-2018, 05:05 PM

Built my own X5M. About the same horsepower and torque .. combined.

I like it, but I've been known to have bad taste lol. IMHO you are going with aggressive look and in that case you'll benefit from M performance kit: front lip, rear diffusor, fins and maybe even some side skirt add-ons. Just my opinion.

That can get quite expensive, and quickly too. Doesn't take long and before you know it you have thousands invested. And a pissed off spouse when they find out how much you spent lol

I’m sorry mate, but that’s downright awful.

I think I can be a new standard of tacky mods - if I like it - there's a good chance it is indeed awful

This is why i try to ask community lately for any cosmetic mods I like before I do them - some people like me genuinely can't see if car is tacky, until it's too late.

When you get a chance, please take a picture. Would just love to see the color even if it's not Yellow. Thanks

Iphonenl x pics

If the car were black, I could almost get it. But it being grey, initially while scrolling I saw it and said “damn...got in a crash and is mid repair”...

Then I saw you did all that on purpose....

Don't overthink it. I sealed my wheels once and if you just wash them each time you wash the car, they'll be in amazing shape. The only extra step I take after I wash the car, and dry the wheels with my shopvac, is give them a spray with the ole quick detailer.

I'll be honest I don't remember writing this lol
I put some carpro Reload on them for now. Once I take them off for the winter I'm going clean them compound and polish. Than I'm going to use some of my remaining cquartz on them.

No wonder I didn't remember saying it

The front looks like you installed a new hood and bumper but it never was painted.
