X5M Southwest Roadtrip

Gents,

I recently moved from Hawaii to the mainland and the wife wanted to do a short roadtrip in the southwest. We went through Southern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. It was just under 3k miles total.

I only got a few pics since the wife wasn't about me posing the car for pictures. I took them whenever I had the chance. All but one are iPhone pics so not the best quality either.

Gorgeous shots! Desktop backgrounds in the making...

Nice stance, MCB is an amazing color. What size spacers are you running?

Yep, the wife insisted on white sands. I'm glad we went, it was beautiful out there. Somehow I thought the desert would be boring.

I've got 25mm front and back. The front stick out too far for me though. I used to have 20mm on them which are perfect, but was getting a wobble in the steering wheel. Had to take them off since they wouldn't sit flush on the rotor/hub. ECS brand, they were marked as fitting, but the interior bevel wasn't deep enough. I just ordered some 20mm H&R spacers and hopefully those fit.

Looks like a fun trip!

Have you done a good undercarriage rinse since you got over here, to get rid of any salt?

I haven't done a legit undercarriage rinse. I did a full wash after and sprayed/scrubbed out the wheel wells and suspension. most of the bottom is covered in plastic anyway, but I probably should do a good rinse.

Just seeing this thread now. That's awesome to see the beast continue the journey in the mainland. The X5M really could not have gone to a better enthusiast. Keep it up!

Just wanted to pop in and say hey. Saw the weather hitting the islands right now, and was thinking how great that your beast isn't there any more!

Hopefully all of your family and friends are doing well!
