Nice. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the spoiler, and is it a stock M5 spoiler?

I bought it from a fellow member! Yes it's an OEM piece.

Wish there was a way to convert back to chrome or satin aluminum even for my touring via a wrap, that looks realistic. I really want to break up the blackness of it with some highlights and rails and trim wrap would do nicely. And yes I have a gloss proper shadowline but matte rails which look bizzare. So either I gotta wrap rails in black, or add some satin chrome wrap on the window trim.

Also, that site Shadowline has two cars crashed into each other with some poor photoshop, lmao. Guys gotta get that sorted.

Since i'm done with the exterior i kinda want to wrap the window trim with carbon fiber vinyl. i've see a few guys who have done it but not sure what it looks like in real person. i'm also thinking of wrapping the roof as well? just to get something new to look at

What wires did you connect to?
Are you able to dim them?

Looks good

I had the OEM ambient lighting so I just hooked up to the stock lighting wiring.

Upgraded the front brakes to 2-piece directional 374x36 rotors found on Euro spec 550i/M550d!

Colored my brakes

Ickdeep · 05-16-2018, 02:32 PM

Latest mod I came home to was my little brother installing blue tint over the fog lights. I didn't really like it at first but it definitely grew on me and looks pretty good. The lights are still the OEM ones so I never really turn them on.

Any recommendations for Fog Lights that are the closet in color to the low/high beams?

lsturbointeg · 05-17-2018, 08:01 AM

dropped off my car this morning at the dealer for an oil change and i'm rolling around in a 2018 X5 with only 59 miles on the odometer! this thing is a beauty! I might not bring this back and let them keep my car

They try and give me either a 3-Series or X1. I ask for a 5 (as that's what I bring in) and have received it all but once. I could have change it out for a 5 when it became available, but I ended up needing emergency open heart surgery before I had a chance. My dealer was gracious enough to come to my house to swap my car (when they were done) for their loaner.

Alimon777 · 05-18-2018, 08:57 PM

Installed this idrive control knob from eBay. Not too bad for the $20 price tag.

Thanks to you I went ahead an attempted this DIY. Very easy diy. Thank you. I thought it was gonna be STUPID bright but it's not... these f10's should've had this brightness in the 1st place. OEM tube is bullshit

Had some time this past weekend. Did all the trim pieces in Carbon Fiber.

Happy with the results. Attempting it for the first time not half bad.
