Thumbs up CleanIsFast Journal: BMW X5 4.6iS
Surprised I don't see more of these journal threads, but I'll start one for my recently acquired 4.6iS. Picked it up last week from my local mechanic that I've known for years.

Background:
August 2003 build
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Sport Interior
Titan Trim
82k on motor
122k on chassis


Upcoming Maintenance:
[ ] License plate lenses
[ ] License plate bulbs
[ ] Rear trunk emblem replacement
[ ] Full Paint Correction
[ ] Headlight restoration
[ ] Cluster fix (terrible pixel issue)
[ ] Upgrade Steering Wheel

Other than that, no real modifications in the near future. Rather keep it OEM and keep it maintained.

A few more random photos. I knew there was a aftermarket rear camera installed by the previous owner, it wasn't working when I received it but I played around with a bunch of wires in the trunk over the weekend and got it to work! No delay when switching between drive/park to reverse. Also came retrofited with an escort 8500 radar detector system, pretty clean install.

Overall, very happy with the interior condition. Leather is fairly good on all seats, came with weathertech all weather mats, I'll probably chuck those and get the standard BMW all weather mats. Weathertech ones are bit bulky. I'd also like to get an all weather trunk mat.

Looks like carbon copy of my beast minus back up camera and radar. Lucky for me I don't need it here in NYC since I'm on the force not that I speed.

Can't decide if I like Styling 168 or 87 more

Do you have a pic where we can see your non-oem rear view camera and the way it was fitted?

Have you been able to sort out all the issues you've been having with your 4.6? Thought you were actively selling yours?

87 for the win!

Yea i'll take some pictures, it's mounted to the rear license plate frame. This writeup looks to have similar; if not all, parts: Backup camera install write-up...

I decided to keep her and will be eplacing wheel bearings next week. After looking around there isn't really anything out there that is this fast, sexy and spacious for this amount of $.
I have my commuter car and this is my fun car.
