BTW... those are just PDC / Parking sensors... LOL!
Maybe cause the donut is lighter for the 4.8is?

Thanks for the compliments guys, the photoshoot doubled as a profile shoot for a friends business site - maybe that's why it looks like a for sale ad shoot. Also, I'm used to selling cars and I guess I shoot them this way. LOL!

I was using a small camera for this, don't really have much by way of camera settings. I did not break out the Big DSLR on this one

So... not for sale, unless someone has like $10K handy

Nice ride,
I think that MSport wheel looks great! Huge improvement over standard sport steering wheel!

You have really devalued that x5 with a Celery FC license plate holder.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys. I do genuinely like the car, it's becoming more and more my daily driver.

As for the "Celery" frame - does that translate as "Champion" in Scouser talk ?!?! LOL!

Now Dang It!!!! You guys got me curious about the X5s out there. There are a ton of them asking for crazy money that suggest FMV on mine is $10K plus. Gawd, I am so tempted to put it up and see what I could get for it. ARGH!

BTW - Should I add these to the car? What you think?

both of my iS had a 19" spare donuts...

now, i noticed that the jack is located at an angle on the left side of trunk, closer to the gate... is it normal location? i thought that spot was reserved for euro tow hitch...

What are you waiting for? Those Alpinas are VERY nice, even when they don't look like they are for X5 (not enough lip)
For your inspiration/motivation
