I know how you feel work wise, they have me working split shifts(80 hours a week)

Glad to hear she's running great, which tune did you go with?

maybe we can finally get together this year
Thanks bro, make sure you throw a trickle charger on it if she's gonna be sitting all winter or you could kill the battery and possibly damage the IBS cable

Yea bro, we gotta get together this year and do a little MCB photoshoot ...I have 10 weeks of furlough I need to use up. Maybe we'll hit Bimmerfest this summer

Nothing worse than thieves!

The one day I decide to take the beast to the mall, some lowlife steals my front tow hook cover. It's a good thing I parked 100 yards away from the closest car...gotta love NY

Last summer I ordered rear tow hook covers from IND and they sent me both front and rear covers by mistake...that's $120 I don't need to shell out for once

Went with Velos since I already had the programmer from my 50i. So far so good. I got the price way down too.

Nice! I was unaware you can use the same programmer from a 50i...now you got me thinking if I can tune my 50i with AA I used on the X5M lol

You shouldn't have any problems with Velos, from everything I've read they have excellent customer service

Not sure if it can read multiple VIN's at the same time. Mine had to be reset to clear my old VIN. The process can't be done by Velos or AA. I think they had to send a request to the company who makes the units in Italy and pay a fee. Give them a call and ask though if you are interested. Maybe there is a work around for multiple vehicles.

Weren't you thinking about selling the 50i?

I was just thinking out loud again lol. My wife wants me to sell her 50i because she's bored with it and it's not fast enough for her

Looks so good - updates really improve the look but it still has an almost OEM+ look (it's not over the top).

You and Boneca have the same setup mostly? MCB, LED retrofit, CF bits, BBS SV? You guys have great taste

Thanks brother, I didn't want to over do the mods and keep an OEM look, to a majority of people it's just another X5 driving down the block...the only people who notice the mods I've done are other car enthusiast...funniest part is every time I start the truck everyone either jumps out of their skin or give me crazy looks thanks to the straight pipes

Thanks brother, congrats on the new beast...it's in good hands at Enthusiasts Detail, they do great work. Once my schedule clears up we can head out to a cars and coffee meet on Sunday mornings up in Yorktown(about 35 min north of the Bronx) with a few X5M's and M3's I usually roll out with

post up some pics of that new ride brother
