We used 4" (100mm) double-walled tips. I'll post a thread with these pics and some video as soon as I have a sec to get some.





Very nice, IMO you should have gone with an Invisahitch.
They make an "invisahitch" cover for the X5M?

Added a set of HELLST AE's to the X5:

Here's the link to the ordering site. He'll have LUV as soon as they release their new version. If you order from here, tell Ross that Mike sent you.

Matte black grills to follow.

Well I had enough of brake dust from the OEM brake pads, so I went ahead and replaced all 4 brake pads with Akebono's and cleaned the wheels inside out and applied 2 coats of wheel Wax. I still have factory Waranty which includes brakes but I can't deal with the dust.

This is how badit used to get.



This is after I clean up the wheel

I gave my X5d a car wash for my birthday. That was the first time I ever washed it myself. It felt so good. Time to wash it myself from now on. The carwash places suck compared to the time and effort I put into it yesterday.
