My New (used) X5 xDrive 50i!

lefty3292 · 10-23-2018, 09:13 PM

Hi Folks,

Picked this up a few weeks ago but never posted it on here.

Picked it up used, 27k miles, m sport package with black Dakota interior.

Coming from an E93 M3, so this is a bit of a change but so far I am loving it! Drives over the terrible Houston roads with ease

Looks sweet

r33_RGSport · 10-23-2018, 11:41 PM

Congrats!!!
Let's mod it to make it more fun to drive.

Interesting that it has silver roof rack rails... sweet ride

Nice catch, didn't notice that. I don't think I have ever seen M sport without black rails.

Congrats! Don’t forget to do a chip tune or flash!

puckybadger · 10-24-2018, 08:36 AM

About time you did something right.

Subiemmer · 10-24-2018, 08:53 AM

nice ride. Congrats!

lefty3292 · 10-24-2018, 09:52 AM

Thank you everyone!

Suggested mods, aside from a chip/flash?

- Painted front bumper reflector
- Driver side Front Bumper open grill with option of M50d Bumper Trim
- Lowering
- Spacer (if you are not planning to change wheels)
- Phone cradle removal (if you have it in the armrest compartment)

lefty3292 · 10-24-2018, 02:07 PM

r33_RGSport do you sell the painted reflectors?

Yes, I do.
Never guessed huh.

g0p · 10-25-2018, 02:06 AM

What is a painted front bumper reflector?
(Yeah... I don't know much)

g0p · 10-25-2018, 02:16 AM

Here is mine - bought 2 months ago at 18k kms.
I love it!

The Libertine · 10-25-2018, 04:47 AM

Mine is the same - black x50i m-sport with silver rails. I also picked mine up in Houston... coincidence?

North American spec X5’s have a orange reflector in the front bumper, yours doesn’t have it. Some see it as unsightly and swap the reflector our with a painted version to match the jumper and blend in.
See post #1 on this thread, the long orange reflector on the bumper stands out (purposely).
Congrats on the new toy.

Careful what you wish for, r33_RGSport can be a bad influence but yet a great person/company to supply endless mods and ideas.
I’ve completed most of the mods available for the F15, but not all. If you’d like to see them find my thread, “Mods complete” or something like that. Here it is; https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1403501
Congrats on the new toy!
Cheers!

Hmm interesting. Maybe it was a selectable option.

Congrats!

Looks like these X5 50i are getting really affordable. I too just recently picked one up.
