Introducing me and my X5
Hey.
I've recently joined this forum, as I bought a 2004 X5 3.0d in May. My name is Rolf, and I'm from south west Norway. I've been owning and working on BMWs for about 9 years. All of my cars were stock when I got them. I bought my first BMW when I was 15, a 1981 E21 320/6 (M20B20, 6 cylinder). I learned a lot from that car. When I bought it, I had no mechanic experience at all, so I got myself a big tool kit, disassembled and then reassembled the whole car. It took a while and I didn't have a lot of money at the time, so I didn't put on a lot of new parts. It was mainly for learning purposes. I've still got that car. After that I bought a rusty E28 528i and a bad E28 525i which I disassembled and sold the parts from. After that I bought a 1977 E12 528, and shortly after that, a 1975 E12 528. Sold both of those. A couple of months before I turned 18, I bought the car of my dreams. A nice 1985 E28 528i. This was my daily driver for around 2 years. We went everywhere together. It failed the last inspection because of the lowering springs. There was a couple of other things that needed to be done as well, so I put the car in the garage. I have a S38B36 engine for it, and during this year or next year, it will be up and running!   I then bought a 1986 E30 320i as a daily driver. It was dirt cheap, so I did everything I wanted to do with it. Slammed it, wide 15" wheels etc. I used it for around 2 years, and I'm planning on selling it. This is a pic from early winter, with snow tires  Great for plowing!  This is how low I drove the last 6 months.  In 2010 I bought a E12 525 from Sweden. It's getting the M106 turbo engine, from a E23 745i this summer. Mildly tuned, so it puts out ~350-400 PS. I'm considering keeping it grandpa blue, just for the fun of having a real sleeper.  In 2012 I also bought a 1993 E34 525tds Touring.   And now to the X. Option List: Quote:

    I've painted the kidneys satin black since these pics were taken. I think it looks awesome. I've ordered the ebay 4.8is kit (recieving it today), new fog lights, a new door seal, new trim piece for the steering wheel, the heat shields for the 4.6/4.8 exhaust in the rear bumper, K&N air filter and a couple of other things. I'm also considering a full bilstein suspension kit. It lowers the car 25mm, so I'm worried it might be too low... One of the best things about the X5, is the height.... I'll update here when stuff gets done
