Might be a few styling points for you to follow if this is the look you're going for.
Side exit exhausts on this 4.4 is an interesting move....

I actually like, I almost went with those tires too.
I'll be doing a Borla exhaust eventually, that I'll document in this thread.

Hope that E46 is not in too bad of shape

It's an e28 not an e34. But I did have a couple of e34s before. Love those too.
Let's just say the e46 gets well used by the wife.

Can't happen soon enough. The guys at Fluid are awesome too. They've responded to every inquire and question I have. Just waiting on the product to be finished.

I am puzzled by the oversized tires, rolling diameter is quite a bit bigger than spec?

Yes, it is a lot larger. I did check the calculator and it is a about 6%, I think, can't remember the exact number. But the X5 and these tires will be used off road, frequently. A sacrifice I was willing to make. I will most likely keep two sets of wheels. If I'm doing a long highway road trip, I'll have something closer to factory spec. I don't do a lot of highway driving now. Pretty much to the kids schools and back down to the sand.

Thanks! It's pretty damn clean and I have yet to get my hands on it with my detailing supplies. Once I do I'll post a few more pictures.

My 1988 535is, currently undergoing a euro bumper project.
My 1974 2002tii too big of a project for me to even think about.
My sons newly acquired 1991 318is 5sp.
The wife's 2000 323iT. This is a road tripping paddle carrying machine. She does outrigger canoe racing so it's full of salt water and sand!
This was our old 2004 Dodge Durango, which the X5 replaced. Pic was taken on the beach near our house and will be the X5s new play ground.
