Your X5 looks great! I am planning in getting my bumpers painted too. How much did that cost you?

Need better photos. I can't see much difference in those. Interior looks great though.

How and where did you paint the Aero Kit and the plastic bumpers? Any place in Los Angeles?

looks awesome, where did you get the roundels from - or are they overlays?

Yosemite_sam: Thank you!

Beefy: Thank you!

Wind Screen: It is actually pretty good, visibility is still great at night, but really helps during the day. I use to have 5% on my previous vehicle and that was too dark, that was difficult to see at night.

Roundels: That is the BMW logo, it will no longer be blue, it will be color matched with the vehicle (so it will be white and sapphire black, instead of white and blue).

golfer4life: Salamat po!

Stevev: Thank you! Sure thing, I will try to get better pictures this weekend.

dr.jay: Thank you! Amber reflectors are in the works, paint shop had difficulty removing them and did not want to break it. So I am purchasing an extra set to be painted off the vehicle.

calix5fan: Thank you! I definitely need some wheels, I will think about your y spokes and if I do decide to purchase, I will PM you. I was thinking about the wider flares, but I cannot decide until I get some wheels. I want the wheels to be flushed or slightly inside the fender, but if it protrudes, then I will be sure to purchase the wider flares.

janisX5: Thank you! By the way, I like your signature, haha!

Hans_ACS: Thank you!

[email protected]: Thank you!

nicedrive: Roundels purchased at bimmian and the pictures are right below the DVD pictures.

blueagle: Salamat po!

nicedrive: Thank you, yes they removed all plastic trim pieces, including bumpers.

R8DX5: Thank you for your opinion! I thought about those wheels for awhile and if I were to go 21" wheels I was going to opt for that, but unfortunately they do not make it in 22".

marks17: Thank you! For all plastic pieces to get painted cost me $1400.00. Do not forget to post pictures when your finished.

Amiricanmade: Thank you! Still debating, just depending on which wheels I purchase.

Mr.x: Thank you! That was one of my choices, I have been so busy lately I had to put the wheels on hold.

TopgunNS: Thank you! I apologize for the photos, I will post better pictures as soon as I get some free time.

CarLover2008: I took it to a paint shop, but for a place in Los Angeles, my cousin recommends Auto Network at San Gabriel (sorry I do not have the number), ask for Jon Jon, they do car show vehicles at a decent price and most cases are cheaper than other paint shops. Good luck and post pictures when your finished.

juicer: Thank you! They are overlays, I wish they were roundels, I tried looking, but overlays were the only choice. FYI, they were purchased from Bimmian, personally I do not think it is worth the price.
