Doctor///M's X5M Journey

The F80 wasn't cutting it for space no matter how hard I tried to make myself believe it would. Picked up this fully-optioned low mileage beauty recently and as much as it's a blast, the perception of speed is completely gone (80 mph feels like 60) and the suspension needs some beef to feel anywhere as close as the M3. May consider it down the line, but black side markers and kidney grille surrounds are first on the list. Looking forward to the journey ahead!

Yeah I've come to the acceptance that it's a futile effort, but I may consider getting a track car in the future and using this as the tow truck!

Ah Awesome! I, too, went from an F80 to an E70 M, except i kept the f80 as well.

This car is a whole new beast, and definitely is a level above the F80

Thanks all! Any recommendations for larger (80-ish mm) muffler tips that are chrome or gloss black and slant cut that can easily be slipped on?

Decided that the stock tips had to go. At some point I'll get to the exhaust mod in favor of a full exhaust upgrade because priorities. Found a set of 4" tips that I liked and bit the bullet. Some forum searching on 4" tips yielded no results, so the decision put me in unchartered waters.

For the tips that I got, there are rivets on the carbon fiber bodies that end up touching the adjacent tip when installed. It still however wasn't difficult to mount. Without rivets there should be around 3 mm clearance between adjacent 4" tips. After getting them installed, I couldn't be happier with the look... the tips are now better proportioned with the huge back end!

Looks great! Where did you get the exhaust tips if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks, picked them up on eBay. A search for carbon fiber tips brings up a ton of designs.

Well done on the vanity plate and exhaust tips. Maybe some ADV10s in your future?

Thanks, the plates are a carryover from my F80 which suited the car better but is still usable! I'm looking into beefing up the suspension with the Dinan kit. Depending on how that goes wheels will be next on the list... city roads aren't very forgiving to larger rims and lower tire profiles. Especially on a 6000+lb truck!

I bought similar tips on eBay, just haven't put them in yet. 4" really makes the stock exhaust look proper.

What part of Texas are you in?

Definitely get them on there. It transforms the look completely. On another note, I'm in the market for a cf diffuser if you got one! I'm in Houston.
