Looking good gixxer! When you replaced the running boards, did you buy standard rockers or msport rockers? Been considering doing this myself...

How do you like the 22 inch replicas. They really are growing on me for my 2015 MSport 3.5

Quality ?

These are standard rockers.

I think they look pretty awesome and I get a lot of complements on them.

Those tail lights will look really nice on the white especially now that you have the headlights. They make some now that don't need coding too but oem ones are best.

The ones I bought are OEM Eurospec (w/Orange turn signal indicators). I was not aware of the orange indicators when I ordered them, but they look really nice. The Black line design is much more updated with the signal indicators only slightly Orange in color compared to the Red in the rest of the taillight. The color difference isn't obvious and the transition is nice. Pretty cool actually.

I hope to install them today, but they will likely need to be coded.

New pics with color matched trim, LCI headlights and tails:





Spacers needed now.

Is yours Cashmere?
I have to say that one of my most favorite show cars of all time is a Frozen Cashmere M5!
IMHO, I think your X5 would look awesome color matched.

Looks awesome. Could you measure from floor to bottom edge of your fender flares? Would love to see the #s compared to my Eibach setup.

It is slightly darker than cashmere so not sure how good it would look. I am giving it some additional cosmetic upgrades which should be ready by Wednesday. Hope it turns out as well as I imagined it to be.

Remember my friend Rodney's X5M?
Be sure to look close or you could miss it!

Gixxer - any chance you could measure your drop? Curious to know how low the H&R springs are vs Eibach.

Sorry, I haven't forgotten about this question..
My driveway isn't exactly level and my garage is taken up by the X5M and my wife's SL500. I will pull the SL out on the next nice day to put the X5d on level ground so I can measure the distance on both the X5D and the X5M
