Very nice.

That is one sweet ride. I have a Sapphire Black 2010 w/ M PKG. What shade of black is that? Carbon? Did your roof rails come black or did you have them painted?

krnnerdboy · 03-02-2011, 12:01 PM

dang, just picked up my x5 35i yesterday and I didn't think I liked the M sport at the time but now it's growing on me

should have got the M sport

Great ride!

Sorry for a stupid question: But is it higher or lower with the new springs?

Curious as my ride looks more or less the same and I have not seen it with the 333 wheels on yet.

Sapphire Black with a little DODO Juice (Purple Haze) wax on top! and the roof rails came black as an option.

Your ride looks good, but for real black on black, the chrome trim would need to be swapped over for black (gloss) and the rims should be swapped over to hyper black or gunmetal.

that would be the murdered look! trying to keep a bit of contrast with the wheels and trim may do the murdered look when i get bored.

What! I just bought one a day ago (X5 35d) and it didn't have the LED angel eyes. WTF!

Awesome truck OP.

How did you get to order roof rails in black? I got stuck with aluminum and am considering vinyl to make them black, i hate how they are aluminum....here is my ride (slightly murdered out)....

does anyone know how to make the roof rails black? I want to do it on my car, can you do vinyl? My msport came with aluminum colored and i hate it

X5HI · 07-26-2011, 03:18 PM

Nice!!! Did you have any code issues by lowering the car and any warranty problems with the dealer?

jp0974 · 08-06-2011, 05:34 PM

Very Nice, like it a lot!!

I totally echo the same sentiments, I just ordered a 2012 X5 Sport activity in black sapphire and was contemplating going for the murdered look but finally decided that a lil contrast would be nice. Do you have black / smoked reflectors on your front bumper?

I love the look your truck and gloss black grills would def set it off!

IMHO, I don't think there will be a problem if installed properly.

Mark's M · 12-13-2011, 02:36 PM

Perfect!!! Got a sister X5 a few weeks ago and had to bypass an "order" truck with the Adaptive Drive and make due with the stock M-Sport suspension. So my thoughts were the same as yours...Eibachs or H&R's. Can you elaborate a bit on the ride and or difference (if any) in the handling, etc (including "is it too harsh?/) once the Eibachs went on?? Would be much appreciated.

With thanks in advance, Mark

positiveions · 12-13-2011, 02:37 PM

looks really good

vladberca · 12-17-2011, 07:55 AM

Very nice one! Congrats!

Jasnb · 12-31-2011, 05:04 PM

Sweet - I have the same spec X5 on order - due to arrive end of Jan and time is ticking . . . s l o w l y

Gonna have to make due with your pics until mine arrives!

3s-a-charm · 01-04-2012, 08:30 AM

That looks REALLY good!

I love the painted trim panels around the wheel arches and how they tie in to the M-Sport bumpers so well. That's my biggest "irk" with my X5 which has the sport package but is pre-LCI so it has the plastic trim/bumpers.

I'd be interested in finding out what it would cost to swap out my bumpers and wheel trims all around for the updated look...
