Morning photos. BMW performance/22"/Aero

dubsesd · 04-06-2014, 10:04 AM

i did a full detail this weekend inside out and decided to take some photos of my hard work. Platinum grey is a beautiful color in the sun and shade.

UnicornM · 04-06-2014, 03:07 PM

Looking sharp! Any before/after pictures of the detail? was it a correction detail?

Sylvan Lake V35 · 04-06-2014, 06:03 PM

Looks great

I like the wheels and aero finishes it off nicely.

larryv · 04-06-2014, 06:46 PM

Looks great! Sure did come out nice.

Yes. It was a correction detail. Touched up and wet sanded a few areas and removed winter swirls and light scratches. Also refinished the hubs and calipers. No before after comparisons though.

Wonderful pictures, and what a great garage to work in. I assume that's yours?

Also: what products do you use when detailing?

dubsesd · 04-07-2014, 07:03 AM

Thank you. Yes the house is mine, also has 22 double run florescent lights installed and it's sooo bright. I use mainly menzerna, colonite, mequires and pinnacle with a porter cable and makita

m5 guy · 04-07-2014, 12:28 PM

Keep it up!

upstate650 · 04-07-2014, 12:46 PM

looking good!

Awesome and clean look, love second picture! I just noticed you got rid of roof rails. How hard it is and what you have to do to fill the spots on the roof.

P1 · 04-08-2014, 12:01 AM

Just noticed the little "d" next to X5. Nice touch.

dubsesd · 04-08-2014, 07:55 AM

Thanks. I also removed the badging off the door and installed a larger font 35d in the same black without the x drive emblem

pauld · 04-08-2014, 04:57 PM

Looks great. What kind of wheels are those?

Lucky for me, it came with roof rack delete option from the factory. Looks so much better imo, especially since I never use the racks anyways.

what you said, really lucky, I saw some DIY and it seems like big pain to remove starting with head liner and then you need to fill in the holes...

Orange fever · 04-09-2014, 01:19 AM

very nice color

mikeross · 04-09-2014, 05:18 AM

Looks really nice... love the color and wheel choice. I have yet to see those wheels on an x5 in those sizes.

What size are the tires?

Is that x5 Lowered?

dubsesd · 04-09-2014, 05:37 AM

Yes, it's lowered on eibach springs and tires are 295/30/22 and 335/25/22 pirellis

Love the look of these wheels. I recently got them in 20".

EuroTra$H · 04-16-2014, 08:55 PM

awesome! great looking X
have you considered painting upper and lower grilles black

Singh97 · 04-18-2014, 02:21 PM

Looks flawless as always. I agree with EuroTra$H, black upper and lower grills will go with your black and grey them perfectly.
