After 5 weeks of waiting for delivery and 2 weeks in the body shop for the usual upgrades, here she finally is. She's a 2012 Alpine White LCI E70 X5 50i Sport - LOADED
People ask why I didn't do the M Kit and chose the new LCI Aero Kit instead... A few reasons:
1. Everyone has the M Kit and I wanted this to be different (not to mention, I already own a real M
)
2. This is a truck and I think the new Aero Kit gives it the look it deserves (I like the beefy, yet sporty and aggressive look of the new Aero Kit, over the old one)
3. I had the Running Boards on the X5 when I ordered it (the wife demanded it), but after installing the new rocker panels, I think they're going to stay off permanently.
Mods:

- Tinted Rear Lower Reflectors (sprayed, not film)
