Looks good. Since you didn't get leather did you also skip out on Premium package since that is included ? And hope you are going to ace those wimpy 35i tailpipes.

Just need to sell the stock style 209s that come on it... You guys by any chance know if If $1800 is reasonable for the set? They will be brand new since Ill be taking them off right at the PCD.
For wheels+tires, yes. For wheels only, no. Wheels only should be sub $1k; somewhere between $750 and $975 (+shipping).

Currently there's no mod to change out the round pipes to ovals on the 2011 X5s. The mod kit that works on the 2010 with a black bumper (with cutouts) won't work on the 2011 with a painted bumper (no cutouts).

I spoke with daripper's supplier a couple of weeks ago. He did a little research and called me back to let me know that something should be available for us in the 3rd quarter of this year. Excellent!

Actually on 35i Standard, you can't get leather and you can't get premium package (not even an option). I did get Convenience Package which included wood trim (choice), bluetooth, panorama roof, ambient lighting.

As barbja mentioned currently no replacement for 35i tailpipes since there aren't any cutouts but it does look like something larger would fit in there... I do think these tails look better (and bigger) than 30i though...

Wow you really got a bare bones one. It does have FM on the radio hopefully . I remember back in the day when I was little my Dad's cars it was a luxury to have AM/FM. But I bet you saved a ton--I bet you got it for under $50K.

Congrats! Nice work on the adds. I really like the clean look without roof rails as well.

Nice fender flares. Where did you get yours? Did you do the install yourself?

I am looking to sell the full set with BMW caps and the TPMS... I am planning to take them off the SAV at the PCD so they will be Brand New... So looks like I should have no issues getting $1,800 for them plus shipping... Thanks !!!

Thanks, got them from Keshav ([email protected]), some other forum users have gotten OEM parts from him - he was the cheapest price I found for these and he shipped quickly... I did the install myself, at first I wasn't sure about it since I'm not the most handy guy but a couple places wanted $150 or more to install them so for that price I figured it was worth me figuring it out.

The hardest part is getting the rivets OUT. The first one or two will take you like 20-30 minutes each because you're being really careful trying not to damage anything and figuring out how those rivets are set in there. After that it goes quickly like 1 minute to get out each rivet and 10 seconds each to put in the new ones. One thing to remember is that the rear flares have 4 plastic clips - you need to transfer those from the old flare to the new ones.

Looks great. Congrats. Are the new wheels staggered or all square? I would also appreciate a pm regarding the info on cost and supplier if you get the chance. Thx
