Yes, they're not always easy to find. Took me a little bit, but it was well worth the wait! My search radius was 500 miles though.

Nice looking X5! FYI the sport button means your car is equipped with one of the best handling packages BMW offers called Adaptive Drive. Only a $3500 option.

Luckily, all 2011s had the Adaptive Drive as part of the M Sport package. Granted, the M Sport package was very expensive that year!

Wow! Very nice!
Just picked up an 11 M sport for my wife. Looking to get it detailed as well. Just not sure I have the patience or time to do it. Great work on yours |

You really need a few hours if you want to do it right. The right products and materials make the biggest difference. Cheap products will just frustrate you. Or you can find yourself a good detailer locally and just pay to have it done...

The seller name on eBay was "tekimoka". He has newer PIAA bulbs now that have a higher K amount called the PIAA 5000K Stratos Blue. I think he has them in H8. I'd choose that over the 4800K bulbs my wife's 135i has.

Salute! You are definitely one persistent hands-on guy. Your car is lucky to have you. I have always planned to detail my own, just to give it a wash and wipe then back indoors
BTW, awesome looking x5 |

Thanks! You do need to carve some time out for it, but I have a good time just hanging out in the garage.

The floor in the garage is Racedeck. Love it! Just wish I wouldn't have bought the white tiles. Naturally, they get dirty quickly so I'm always cleaning them. |

I hear that; we spend 17 hours clay barring/detailing mine on a lift...
It was a lot of work, but totally worth it as it looks close to showroom new again. |

So the battery went bad, the evaporator core needed to be replaced on the A/C, had two new rear tires installed, and I think that is about it. Will post some pics later on this morning...

Looks Familiar
I might have to pick up some detailing tips from you as I need to detail my new, to me, 13' X5 MSport.
That things looks very clean, good job. |
