X5 M Engine Fault Reduced Power Warning

[jasonrhcastle]

Thanks bro. I like that... "Pulled a Brad Pitt". I am going to have to remember that one.

My wife kinda freaked out when I told her that I bought it. She called me at my office and asked what I was doing. Said, "nothing...just bought a Porsche". There were crickets louder than the other end of the phone. She was with her boss and some friends, and the her boss (a really cool guy, have a lot of similar interests) said "He just did it the right way, just bought it. No asking permission, nothing." and started laughing. Made the situation that much harder when she got home.

Funny thing is, now she wants a Panamera in a few years when our kids are bigger and we don't need the space of her incoming R class.

It would be nice to see some pics of your new Beast, if you don't mind ofcourse...

Sure... Will take some pics this weekend. Here are a couple teasers before tint and clear side markers...

x5m is cooler haha sry had too

[jasonrhcastle]

I have to agree that the X5M generally has a "meaner" appearance. However, I have tint and clear side markers installed. 21 inch D2Forged MB1 wheels coming in dark graphite, and steal skid plate for the front to install.

Should look really awesome.

I like the look of the new Cayenne but was going to make a comment that I didn't like the wheels. But the D2Forged MB1 will fix the problem. It will look fantastick with them.

This one looks great. Althought I think they are a little too big.

Jason, May I ask "how much for the wheels"? I really like them. And where are you getting them from?

[jasonrhcastle]

I am getting mine from Vivid Racing. They are being made now.

Price was $7000 with TPMs, Tires, mounting/balancing and shipping.

Should shave about 20 lbs off the total vehicle weight with these wheels compared to stock, and will then use the stock wheels during winter.

The ones in the pic above, if I am not mistaken, are either 22 or 23 inch.

Thanks.

They are 23" in the picture. What size and width are you getting?

And tire?

I will be in Cincinnati next weekend. Coming home for Xavier game.
