Well boys and girls, today was the day. 132s and Diamaris are on! I haven't really had the chance to drive 'em yet, just the local roads around town. The steering feels different, not sure how to describe. Noticed a slight skip on tight turns. I will find the ideal exit ramp this evening and report back tomorrow. I know - useless without pics - here goes...

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!

Sccccccccccccccccccccccchweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttt ttt

what r tha odds?!

Must be a MA thing :confused:

I know. Smart minds think alike. :thumbup:

I think the running boards look much better with those shoes. IMO.

A good test will be the CBX, Belt or the FDR :)

Congrats, they look good :)

Friggen awesome! That is a great color for the 132's and the RB's. Very tastefully done! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very nice..
 

I've got those same shoes and they really look great. Good luck:thumbup:

OK guys, opinion. Look at the third pic down, should I put on the titanium mirror trim?

nahhhh leave it, in fact, i think it would look better if you put the blackout/shadow trim (sport edition) around the windows. (not that it looks bad now, i just like the blackout/shadow trim better)

Looks Good :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow...it looks great! And very familiar for some reason...

:wow: Looks great! Titanium trim kit will add to it. Laura is dressing up her X5 for the meet. ;)

Tammy Faye, put that mascara down, girl!

I thought about it but the chrome trim grew on me, I think it sets off the color nicely. The Sterling in the sports package looks much darker.

Laura, I think it looks good as is.

Nah....

I think that it just needs tint.

Nice shoes! Hold 80+ in the battery tunnel I'll bet! :thumbup:

that would be something to witness :)

Your X looks really good overall!

Looks great Laura - finally! I vote for no mirror trim too - kinda like the black with your color. She looks nice & clean & shiny too! Also, if you really want to feel a positive handling difference, go for the camber plates - they really make a difference in the corners. I notice that the steering is just a tad heavier whenever I switch back to my summer tires - same as yours exactly, but I like the heavier steering feel - gives the vehicle a bit more substance. Enjoy your new shoes & congrats!

This is the reason I love sterling gray so much. Looks fantastic :2thumbs: .


...and leave the mirrors alone.

No more mods! I HAVE to stop now. I lease the damn thing. I justified the running boards, then my brother, Mr. BMW purist, said get the wheels and he'd ebay them for me when the X goes back. I can go on forever. And by the way, thanks, heavier is the word I was looking for to describe the difference in the steering. So when you coming down to wax and clay me...

My goodness - I'd love to wax and clay you - maybe we'll even have some time to detail your X a bit while we're at it! ;)

I suppose if it's leased the camber plates would be a loss when you turn the car in - wouldn't be worth the labor to remove them. Anyhow, those phat Diamaris on those sexy wheels make a significant improvement on their own... The car looks just great!

HAHAHAHAH!!! That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while!!


Laura....shoes look great!!!!!!!

Looks great, Laura! Congrats! :) :thumbup:

Your X5 is looking perfect! 132's, aluminum running boards, lucky!

And a special thanks to Juan for sizing my pics once again. :)

L: Fineazz new shoes! :thumbup:

Hey, I thought I was the only other knucklehead on the planet
with lil'convex stick ons?! :rofl:

Very nice looking...the car, too!:)
BR,md

"Baby, you can drive my car...yes, I'm gonna be a star. Baby
you can drive my car and maybe...
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Yeah!"

Laura you look awsome, amd so does the X5. Seriously. I really like it alot. I bet my X and your X would look good parked together in front of the W hotel in Manhattan. I think it would be a good photo op. What do you think.

Somehow I get the distinct impression the photo is not the op you're looking for..
me :slap: Dinanm3 :rofl:

New shoes look great! :thumbup:
You beat me to it, I'm put'n mine on this weekend.
If you use a few more coats of Zaino we'd be able to see your reflection better in the second pic.

MasterDavid: I'm willing to bet some of the young'ns don't know the song! I'm feeling old. :damn:

nice shoesssssq

I am still waiting to see the pics of those HRE's :tsk:

Is that a bandana hanging from rear view mirror?

http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/x...s-x5-132-8.jpg

.....You guys check out the reflection of those legs in pic 1??....Jeez....
......Looks awesome, Laura.....It'd look even better with a Cali Boy in the passenger seat......;)
....MD:...Was'nt that Paul McCartney's first band?:rofl:

Ray, I'm on your side on the first part, above...:thumbup:

And, I suspect few could name the group that line came from, (excepting some of the music trivia minded or JV!)

"MasterDavid", hmmm....I woulda been MissusDavid if I had used that xmas gift certificate to Master Rick's nutcutting salon, :rofl: .

And, yes I have no fookin idea how to use "sections" of a quote within a post! :confused:
BR, TheOl'FirstCutIsTheDeepest :rofl:

Very nice.......

Laura- looks great! I think you have set it off nicely. Custom look without too much :mantis: !

Don't forget to get your dash tag edited and send it to me for the meet in less than 4 weeks now:)

JV

Yowser, Marko!

I don't know whether to stare at the woman reflected with the flash, or the "woman who's shoulders she is standing on" ?! :)

You bloodhounds need some better lines, imo. :rofl:

When is McCartney going to LostWages for his 3 year gig?! WTF?
BR,md

Wow - great job, Laura, very nicely done. Now you got me thinking about some 132's.

I feel bad for scooping you on the HRE's :stickpoke (NOT!:D)
I'll post pics on the weekend if the CEO and the board of directorettes cut me some free time. Just put the DPE's on the 330xi last weekend.

Laura, can you stand on the hood and take a pic of the hood? :rofl:

Looks awesome. :thumbup:

The Style 132's and aluminum running boards, combined with the Sterling Grey, are very hot looking. Not that looks matter...:D

I agree with the other folks: I'd hold off on the titanium mirror trim. Nice presentation, just the way it is.

Shallow Ken

That's L's Do/Dew Rag.

Yes Please. Pretty please. Oh man after getting teased with those legs i would pay money to see the hood shot. Laura i dont know how much more my heart can take of this.

Thanks everbody! I can't play with you anymore. I'm out of control. I was just looking at my gauges and thought those gauge rings are the ticket. Question - I read here that the install will void the warranty. What if the $tealer does the install...

JV - I will check the dash tag tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I already put 132s on there.

MD - giving old Rod a plug there too huh...my kind of guy. I was looking for a Faces CD Saturday, had this urge to hear Am I losing you. At least I know the music you guys talk about. I'm lost with the youngins...

so have you thought about the additional pics.;)

Beautiful Laura :thumbup:

p.s. I'm not the jealous type, go ahead and have one of the other boys wax "her" up before DC :D

i would love to wax her up. What do you say laura. It will be free of charge and i will spend all the time that it needs to get done.

Pushing for that photo op, huh Tony...Everybody wants more pics..Pics at hotels, pics on the hood...


Ok seriously now..I can feel the grab of the Diamaris, big difference from 18" Michelins that were stock. I also feel everything else alot more, seams in the road, bumps etc. Steering is heavier but not a chore, you feel more connected I guess.

Yea the steering is definately heavier with the larger wheels. But the look makes up for the extra effort.

Yeah, Phong's not around so you get shotgun without even having to call it..Have you heard from him?

Man im jealous. I wish i was comming to DC.

.....from rayxi's fingers to God's ears.....

Tony, Tony, Tony...you seem to forget, I am an older woman. There is no such thing as free. I attended Guys Lie 101....:rofl:

Damn your good. I need some new lines. Back to the drawing board i guess. I work alot better in person though. In my own defense. No really i do. And how about that wax job. I love waxing stuff.:rofl: :rofl: ;)

WHAT!!! I thought that was a replica of you dancing in the Avatar.

...Gee Laura, something's telling me SG does'nt know how to wax...I'd be glad to clean "her" up before the big meat....er....meet.......:thumbup: Cap'n Double E strikes again......with apologies to SG.....

Very nice! I just got my 20's in today too. Got to go get some tires and I am set to go!

I'm old Barry (not really, but feel that way compared to the ages I've seen here lately), not dead. I can still turn a head. And besides, I remember the Isley Brothers...I pay attention too.

Sweet!!!!!!!!! No word from Phong yet.

I already have MY ticket to DC, you? :D

p.s. Bring your cutest bikini for midnight cuzzi dipping too ;)

:flex:

You know, we should really post on the thread from last night about the 132s and the Diamaris. Is there such a thing as e-sexual discrimination..

Laura- you did add everything already- you're all set! Even got the bandana!

JV

I too say them are very nice wheels. But I am bias as my X5 has the same 132's. :)
I am happy for you that you choose the 132's - they are so nice and probaby the nicest 19" wheels for the X5.
ummm - I think I just wrote the above somewhere else. Sorry - But I am a cut and paste guy.

HOT DAYUM, girl!! that ride is shweet!

DC may be possible. is there a link with more info? dh and i love going for the weekend.


ETA: i.need.to.stay.away.from.ebay.

are your running boards OEM? i can't get them right now...darn. hehe...
also, i like how your front lights look like mine, yet, you have the clear side lights (i just ordered them for $18 bucks!).

i was a bit concerned since i purchased the clear tail lights & the clear side markers as well. for a moment i thought my front lights would look whack.

Thanks Black Beauty..
Yes the running boards are OEM, just got them a few weeks ago. This mod thing is addicting. As far as the clear side lights, she came like that. Not sure if it's a 4.4 vs 3.0 thing or if they changed them when they did the face lift, the guys could tell you.

SG - thanks for the link to DC

The challenged one

i know yours is factory. i guess what i meant is, your front lights have amber at the corners right?

mine do. i was wondering about the overall look of my truck with the clear side reflectors and the original front lights with amber...that is, until i saw your pictures.

and yes, the mod thing is VERY addicting. what's worse is the weather here today... making today an interent shopping day!:rofl:

Just wait, you'll be hooked on this place. I don't know which is worse, the mod thing or be addicted to X5 World. A lot of funny stuff goes on here. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and logging on to make sure I didn't miss anything. At least the only cost is dragging my ass in the morning from being on too late.

I'm in NYC, weather here is nasty too. It's pouring out. I had the AC on Thursday and back to heat today. Brrrrr

The side indicators became clear with the facelift, but they have the egg-yolk till you change the bulbs.:) There goes another mod.
