..::PSI::.. Project X
Project X
Hey guys, Project X came to us as a 100% stock X5 5.0xdrive with the client’s initial goal of making a faster winter time vehicle. As we delved into the performance upgrades, the X5 began to turn into more than just a sleepy winter truck and into a true all-wheel drive snow rocket. With the addition of every mod, Project X became an X5 with a new meaning and purpose - an X5 that makes more power than a stock X5 M, but with a dual nature that you can appreciate in the winter or summer months of the year.

Damn! I'd really like to do that mod. Somebody should really come out with modified X5M bumpers for the non-M models (..or at least make a front bumper similar to it). Will you provide a shortened synopsis of what needed to be done to make it work? To the naked eye, it would just seem that the X5M bumper and X5M front fender flares are all that is needed (..because the fender flares are shorter). Does the body work connect at different points on the X5M versus non-M X5's? Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 06-21-2013 at 12:01 PM.. |

Unfotunately, it actually is not easy to do this. It looks as if it would be from the parts alone, but to make it all line up and work together it takes substantial modification and finesse from an experienced body guy. The X5M has different fenders, which we did not use on this making it more more work for the body guys (making the front bumper fit and look OEM). Let me know if you have questions specifically on parts of the work. |

Looks awesome but not sure I understand the "snow rocket" premise.. Why do we need some bonehead going as fast as possible in the snow? I assume there is a set of winter wheels or are the low profile 21's in the pictures just to make sure it doesn't actually go anywhere in any real snow?
