Nice and shiny! Black is a major PITA but when it's clean and waxed, it can look stunning.

More info on your wheels and E90 mustache grille please. The grille is an interesting mod.

Wuzin, X5CA, swesson, villajoe - thanks for the ego boost guys!

Hal72 "Have you thought about smoked taillights!?" - Yes, i'm actually going to smoke it...but not too dark. I'm also going to be installing the OEM Aero Kit sometime in June. And planning on purchasing the underride guard and having it done in "black chrome" to match the exhaust tips.

blueeagle - Thanks for the compliment bud! Let me guess....you went to ATENEO university?

Major04 "Nice shoes! Get rid of that orange reflectors and your good to go, just distracts from your overall theme that your going for (IMO). Other than that nice ride! See - some Flips have some taste! - Yes, i'm actually looking for a shop/online store that sells the euro-type clear headlights.

Q: What year is your ride? - its an 05 with all the packages except winter. (Since I dont need it in LA)

Jumbosushi, dr.jay -I'm actually not too crazy with the black grilles....as dr.jay said, its very e90-ish. I checked everywhere and the style I wanted are only for the 00 - 04's. I'm going to have the grilles painted soon so its more of a natural look. dr.jay the wheels are LM style 9.5 front and 10.5 in the back. Tires are Michellin Diamaris.

(dirty pics of wheels - just got it back from the shop)

Definitely don't smoke the rears too much. When they're done too dark it looks so cheap. The Euro headlights can be found on eBay. I think the typical seller is RoverActive. They aren't cheap though. :(

The Aero kit will look great. I was going to suggest that. The underride guard is a bit much, IMO. It almost takes away from the more sporting appearance of the X5.

Overall, looking good. :thumbup:

Titz Looking!
A MadMax look, well done, imo!

=) Hmm. So it's just for look? It's not connected? I thought that washers were a part of cold weather package...
