Anyway, looks GREAT.

thanks! yaa i know tell me about it..thankfully its my fathers DD and he keeps his cars immaculate...

but we actually went to see the car right when it got in to the dealer before it was detailed/prepped....and OMG it was gross inside..we were so pissed but didnt wanna say anything cause we knew it was going to be perfect when we got it...but wow i cant believe they dont cover things in plastic like the armrests/steeringwheel...the center armrest looked like a sweaty truck driver had rubbed his hands all over it...i was in awe that a bmw that was made literally a week before could get like that..its a disgrace

thanks a lot and ya im working on the side grilles, ill post a DIY once i figure it out.

as far as wheels we were thinking of getting the dealer to paint the stocks gloss black for something like $150 a wheel..i still have to figure out if the rims can take it (and wont just look like steels/crap from far) and if it will make the wheels look to small.

we have to buy winter rims/tires tho up here in canada so there are some options there, but would rather go 19" to save $ and traction and the only thing ive found that fit are the package bmw offers for like 5k...so were open to opinions/other possible options we can take.

as i said its my fathers daily driver, if it were mine we all know there would be 22's/23's on there lol

Camp-
Any word on the black side markers? I looked at (my future) AW X5M over the weekend. The white really makes the chrome bits stick out like a sore thumb! I'll need to change over the grills and the side markers ASAP.
