New to me X5 (and my M3)

[bmdubbayoo]

Hello everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself here since I'll be browsing and posting. I recently sold my '01 M5 and pulled the trigger on a '10 X5 48i. I also have a '95 M3 Active Autowerkes Stage 2 Supercharger. All three whips are pictured below. All I've done with the X5 is added the aero kit, lci side skirts, got new Continental DWs, spare tire kit, and powder coated the 214s gunmetal.

The front and back is the aero kit off ebay, but here's a front pic. I was never a fan of the aluminum running boards as it didn't flow correctly for me but I've always been a fan of the LCI side skirts so I wanted to put them together so the white trim flows.

Aero kit is such a nice touch on pre LCIs. By the way beautiful m3!

Great color combo.. white exterior with those gunmetal 214s.. how much did it cost to powder coat?

Nice! Do you have to have a completely level ground to install that on the floor?

Thank you! I have a buddy that owns a shop so my price is discounted. I paid $500 out the door and he usually charges right under grand for everything (dismount, sandblast, powdercoat, mount, and then balance)

Since they are 12" plastic composite tiles, I don't think the floor needs to be perfectly leveled, but I'm not for sure. They are very durable and they went together very easily.
