My new 2012 X5M

I picked up my sex5 a couple months ago and I'm finally getting around to post about it...

So... i go downstairs to the parking garage to snap some shots, because, this thread is worthless without pics, and i notice someone grinded up on the front bumper as they were parking or passing by or whatever. SH1T

So I'm in Dallas and want to know where y'all would suggest to get this fixed- looks like it went through the full layer of paint, but no body damage?

To make this first post less gay, here's my mod list-

Current-
Tint front windows

V1 install

Future-
At 1200 miles Renntech tune. (625hp)

Midpipes / tips

Laser jammer

I think it's a load of BS that you lose the heated steering wheel function with this upgrade..
I paid for the cold weather package why would you take it away from me? Was it that hard to add the heating coil to the steering wheel??
BMW always making you give something up to get something. It's like they work hard at pissing u off.

They made the ///M performance steering wheel for the x5m so why would they not make it fully functional?

Try some of the steering wheels offered on classifieds - I've seen M steering wheels for X5 with heating and paddles.

I have the x5m so it has that already. The steering wheel I was talking about was the ///M performance wheel which is alacantra.. Really nice but I don't want to lose the heating function.
