Are those chrome door handles. I dont think i saw those in your last pics. Must be recent mod. By the way i love that damn color onthe X5. I think i might sell my 87s and go with your wheels. It will give my X an updated look. And it looks alot better with the clear headlights. Congrats. By the way is that a rear view camera in your roundel on the liftgate. IF so how do you like it. I am thinking of getting one soon. How is the rear ward vision on the screen can you see alot behind you.

P.S. is it just me are are your side steps getting scratched up like crazy too. How can i prevent this?

Mine's are not that bad, I just tell people not to step on it !! The camera is good but if you go somewhere at night with low light you won't see much, other than for the fact it looks cool and different I would recommend you get the oem reverse camera!!! They are the titanium silver handles, I figured it would look good with the titanium trim kit, what do you think????

yea i like it. I think i saw that you can get the mirrors titanium too cant you. But you truck looks good just the way it is. You wouldnt want to sell your wheels would you.
I thought about the oem camera but i dont like the way it looks. Its really big and bulky looking.

It's actually just the rings around the mirrors and i got those on already!!!!
I don't think so !!! I'm not intereted in selling my wheels!!!
There's actually a better resolution camera made by nav-tv but it doesn't fit in the roundel on the x5, it's too deep and the trunk latch is in the way. By better resolution I mean better low light resolution!!! I think EAS has one that goes on the taillight but I wouldn't know about the quality!!!!

IT was either that or red like fulanitos. But i figured the cops would be all over my ass. and i got enough problems with them due to my M cars. Actually i went by a cop last night and got pulled over and he let me go. he said it soulded like i was flying. I had to explain to him that i redlined 1 st gear and never broke the speed limit and thats what he heard. So he let me go.
Black is hard to keep up, which is why I wanted something a little more easier to maintain. The sound of the 4.4 is intoxicating, not too mention the power, I regret not purchasing one sooner... shoulda got black, would like red also, but it's a little pricey
