My X5M

BAKZOOM · 07-15-2015, 03:45 PM

Hello all,

I'm new to the site and was referred by a friend. Love the posts on here and I've learned a lot.

I had a 2006 Infiniti M45 since late 2006 and this past January I sold it and purchased the 2013 X5M below.

No mods have been done but first thing I'd like to do is lower it a little with the kit everyone on here is talking about. The 1.2 kit. Sorry, I'm new to all this and learning.

I love this thing. This is a great community.

M3 Guy,

Can you give me more details about the front lip you have on yours? That is sexy!

CANGRKE70 · 07-16-2015, 11:09 AM

Welcome! Love the red/black combo.

Sure thing! It's an oem mperformance front lip. I had the center lower section of the bumper wrapped in gloss black vinyl to help with the look as well.

Love the headlights!

Wow, you don't see many of these is that color. Love it.

Congrats.

BAKZOOM · 07-20-2015, 10:35 AM

Thanks all. Bad weather or else would have gotten a wash and pics for you all. Hopefully soon.

BAKZOOM · 07-24-2015, 01:11 PM

Ok. Here are so more pics.

It came with two sets of wheels. Black ones for summer and alloy ones for winter.

P1 · 07-24-2015, 05:53 PM

That color... so nice.

Gatoferoz25 · 07-24-2015, 07:40 PM

Very nice color and it flows with the black wheels

X Driver · 07-25-2015, 03:45 AM

Love the full red taillights, in Europe we have the slightly yellow turn lights. Nice truck!

AYF80 · 07-25-2015, 02:38 PM

Looking for one for my wife. What site did you use to find her?

BAKZOOM · 07-26-2015, 11:51 AM

I used a dealer friend of mine who found it for me. Would you like him to search for you?

BAKZOOM · 07-26-2015, 11:51 AM

Thank you all for the comments. I'm thinking of painting/coloring the side markers and kidneys black as the first change in it. Any comments?

do it, it's a eye sore as is. I say get the IND side markers and wrap your grill. On our 13 cars, the grill is different than the once that came before and the BMW performance black once

Thank you. Can I dip/paint the existing side markers?

Defiantly, but depends on if you are DIYing or taking it to a shop, personally I don't think painting them at a shop will be much cheaper than buying a new set from IND, and the side turn signal marker is a pretty difficult piece to deal with
