new guy 48i

[mik]

hey fellas, new to the site. been lurking the past couple weeks while searching for my new toy. just picked up a 09 x5. 48i, msport pkg, adaptive drive, 20's, premium pkg, premium sound, cold weather pkg, napa leather, leather dash, comfort access, comfort seats, hud, active steering, smartphone. my last few cars were 07 tahoe ltz, 04 x5 4.4, 04 745.

x5 is awesome so far. ive only had it a few days. but i love how smooth the powerband is. i dont remember my 04 going like this. this thing just keeps pulling. i wouldnt say its a rocket but it sure isnt lacking any power. seems just right. only gripe i have so far is the crappy backup cam.

so far i tinted the front 35% suntek carbon. put in for remote coding with alpinemss. trying to decide between the contis all seasons or pirelli snows, since these bridgestones will not work in PA snow. planning on adding 20mm rear spacers and maybe 10mm front, and a sub in the next few weeks. thats it until spring. Then factory hitch, magnaflow, and staggered 22's or 23's if i can find some.

heres a couple crappy cell phone pics from when i picked her up from the dealer and the tint shop. see you around
