It's nice to reed you enjoy the dutch soccer Eredivisie, at the moment many of us here can't get a warm feeling about the playlevel, it's getting more worse by the week
Perhapse we can trade it with your MLB Baseball is more my cup of tea |

Perhaps you and I should trade places altogether, because, except for the Cubs this last season, I find MLB a snoozer. I spend my early weekend mornings watching the Premier League. Go Spurs!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome 👍🏻
I don't know about the rails but as far I can see its a normal feture form Europe. I have some extra struts so I can put on a skibox. The extra modifications I'm not sure I want them. The callipers are red, angel eyes are led, have a electric towbar and themost important one is the M drivers package, right from the factory, so topspeed is + 280km/h. This blue animal eats porsche, mercedes and audi for breakfast. Have a winterset rims and tires Last edited by Blackbird535; 12-17-2015 at 01:41 PM.. |

After i saw some X5m from your side of the ocean i saw what you mean. Bottom line: i'm glad i live here on this side near BMW's place of birth and we have normal rails and not the strange ones you have overthere 😝 The look like some rain guiding things |

I know, but they have grown on me now! I just put my ski rack on and it seems to be holding up fine.
Enjoy your new car, the color is awesome.

Something to keep in mind when changing
Hey guys,
Today i changed the OEM grille for a all black, aftermarket one. I'm very happy with it ! I want to warn u about somithing i noticed while changing. It's about the air duct behind the grille itselve. Notice that the OEM-one has a extra longer rubber lip ( or something) on it, a piece that misses the aftermarket one. This extra rubber-lip makes a better connection with the grille and the air intake. So i had to change this piece as well (simple) [IMG][/IMG] I'll post an other picture in a minute.
