Last pictures before the new suspension components and spacers install late this week

Springs/links, 20mm spacers in the rear only and uuc brake lines...all stuff you can't see. I like that

drop looks great

BimmerBoy78 · 12-17-2017, 09:00 PM

Amazing what a drop does to the appearance of vehicle. Looks amazing!

Teh.brandon · 12-18-2017, 06:46 AM

Thanks gentlemen...thinking of going to a little taller tire in the front/back, maybe fill the gap even more. And hopefully I'll have the front spacer situation resolved in the next few weeks

I can’t wait to get to know the contributors here and hopefully even with my extremely limited knowledge about these vehicles I can contribute as well. I’ve got a few plans for the M and I’m sure I’ll be asking for pointers in the near future. Basically the only thing I’ve done to it so far is tint.

My future plans are pretty simple but hopefully it will give off the tastefully modified look I’m going for.

I’ve only got one half way decent cellphone picture but it’s good enough for now...

Picture embedding isn’t working out for me so here’s a link to the pic.

Congrats and welcome. What were the stats? i.e. Price, miles etc..

Well it's a 2011 X5M with just over 70k miles. Pricing is private but it was reasonable and on target for what these go for with that kind of mileage. It's Silverstone Metallic exterior and Bamboo (tan) interior. It has the cold weather package and ski bag, electronic dampening, adaptive drive (or dynamic whatever it's called) rear air suspension and the rear LED lights. I've replace all brake lines with UUC stainless steel braided lines. It has H&R 2" springs and links. It has 20mm H&R spacers in the rear and I'm currently working with ECS tuning to resolve an issue with trying to install the 12mm spacers in the front. It's got 15% tint over the factory 20% on the back windows and 5% on the front with 35% on the windshield. Black painted roundel trim and black/smoked side markers, IND distribution black front grilles, custom painted black diffuser area. Going for the OEM + look.

Got my replacement set of spacers for the front from ECS today. Definitely looks like the last ones were not machined correctly which is great because I really thought this was going to turn into a nightmare. Should have pictures with the new spacers and roof support system in the next few days. In the meantime I found an awesome deal on some 8/32 tread depth replacement tires for the rear. Had them inspected and they came back perfect so for $323 shipped for the pair (315/35/20 Bridgestone Dueler RFT) I can't complain

Well some bad news on the homefront the 12 mm spacers just aren't going to work with my vehicle I'm gonna head to bump it up to 13 or 15 I don't know what the hell the issue is with H&R and BMW not being compatible with these 12 mm spacers but it's turned into a nightmare
