Is there any reason the M-sport package (bumpers and rockers) cant be installed on a d?

Congrats oh your 35D.....All M sport component should bolt up fine.....

BTW...In Sept. 2010 and earlier there was no M sport package for any X5 as the M package was not yet dreamed up.......the regular sport package was available for the 35D I think for the first time. I purchased in NJ a new 2011 35D with Sport Package (yes it was an available option with Sport Seats, 19" wheels Style 335.... etc) as well as the additional 20" optional wheels (style 214) and extended wheel flairs.
On another note.....Back then, BMW just figured out how to put a trailer hitch on the LCI vehicles ....people who bought the X5 the previous Spring and Summer were very unhappy as they could not trailer their Bicycles, ATVs and JetSkis....and the solution was cosmeticly not pretty....cutting the bumper cover......

Installed the JBD chip tuner set to 100% last week.
The install took not even 5 minutes.

Well my first impression was the thing is broken since I was not able to feel a difference.


However, I drove 120 miles yesterday.

My guess is that the ECU had to adjust to the new chip tuner since now I can feel a massive torque difference and the M57 is now way more powerful in high revs.

Unbelievable how this 5k pound car, wind resistance of a single family home and a 3l I6 Diesel goes forward.

Diesel owners, that is the mod to get.

Did I mention that I love the JBD?

Have it cranked to 100% with no problems. The instructions say 70 whp more and you really can feel that.
I'm stunned how a 5k lbs Diesel car can pull without an M badge!

Put the 128's on the X last Friday night.

I love the concave!
The perfect size and design for the e70 IMO.

However I finally got my 15mm spacers for the front but they shipped the wrong width bolts.

The pics are with 25mm spacers rear and no spacers in the front.

The sad part is that my wife, the primary driver, thinks that 21" are too "show off"

Go for it!

At the time we bought the X3, we also looked at the e53 X5's but you felt they were old cars compare to the X3. So the X3 it was.

When my wife had the X3, I was not really into the car.. I usually mod all my cars a bit but the X3 was just the Family hauler. Standard maintenance that's it.

The e70 X5 is fun, looks great and is a blast to drive! You will not regret it.

Actually I already had the idea to get a M for me...

The 128's are up for sale again.

Since xoutpost wont let me sell, they can be found on Xbimmers and bimmerforums.
