Couple of shots from this past weekend....full detail....

-Oil Change
-new R1Concept Rotors
-Akeneebo Euro pads
-Switched from Vredestein to Dueler HP's ....hard decision but I am chewing through Sessantas a set a year....$$$$$$.....plus the Dueler's look way more aggressive in terms of how they wrap around the 215's....
-Complete Detail...from polishing the supersprint exhaust to the engine bay...clay bar..was...polish....etc...
-was getting p492/492...2ndary...air pump...pump works...replaced valve and vac line.....hopefully codes go away! LOL...
-some winter scratched were hit with coded paint and wet sanded....the magic of a true detail artist..at Endless Details in orange CT!
....and a bunch of other odds and ends......

.....on to the next.....

Rich:thumbup:

After all these years she still looks awesome.:thumbup:

Hows the HP's? i am getting the same rims 215 but ferric was wondering what kind of summer tires i should get with them

Hey Yii....I love the vredestein.....with my lowering and negative camber....along with the composite make up of the Vredesteins....well, I chew through them in the rear.....I do like the way the Duelers wrap around the wheel....very beefy, especially the 315....in the rear.

is that a decrotive skid plate with a 4.6 back bummper with no fender flares if so i love it lol:thumbup:

dskyers!!!HA!! why...yes it is....ya know...she is a 3.0....so I was not trying to make her a 4.6......so I went with the skid up front...streamlined the sides....no flares....and 4.6 rear....I unveiled that 2 years ago at the tristate meet....was not sure how it would go over....and everyone thought it was clever...THX for the Props!!

Rich:thumbup:

Yeah i heard about that in alot of members that bought them in the group buy. Performance was great just longevity wasn't. Seen alot of members use HP's and it just may be in my future aswell :D.

Looks great! Where did get the 'is' rear and how much? Also what kind of exhaust tips are those?

Thanks :thumbup:

Is your X lowered? Looks like 2 inches?

got the is rear few years back from drewx5 here on the forum....look him up...he still may get parts....that is a full supersprint exhaust....not just tips....i did CAI resonator delete..Xpipe.....then the supersprint.....no joke...sounds aggressive!

Rich:thumbup:

Lowered it is.....rather slammed!! LOL.....we did KW Variant III coilovers....no effin around..... I believe it was a 4" drop.....MRBMWx5 could tell u how many inches it was dropped.....

Rich:thumbup:

looks great Rich. Spring is a coming!!!!!

Thanks Justin....hey man....how many inches did we get with the KW's.....something I should know..just never cared cause it looks so cool...LOL..

Slammed ....
5 inches front and 4.5 inches rear .

She looks awesome, that thing is tucked!

Rich, she's looking good for sure! Nice detail but we're going to get up to 4 inches of snow today here in CT. :( You'll need a quick detail afterwards and the weather will be warming up soon. Hey, I'll see you around on I-95 & the Merritt Parkway someday, keep an eye out for me, same rear LED tails! :thumbup:

Rich, I wish you were my neighbor so I can stalk your x5 every morning and evening lol
she looks great man!

How do like the Akebono euro pads?

mrloren - Akebono - yes...very nice - i was running axxis deluxe before...thanks for correcting my spelling...i butchered in the post...lol.

ihyoo83 - cool man..thanks for the compliments - alot of heart and soul into this ol' girl.

msammy-I hear ya man....I was going to wait another week, but needed to get the duelers on..so I nailed it all in a couple of days..... its not so much the snow I care about - its the goshdarn salt and sand....hopefully they do not over due it!! I am always on 95 and the merritt.....mostly new haven area...but I do get down toward fairfield and up 91 to hartford as well. next time we have a meet - lets meet up and roll down together - we usually have 4 - 5 x's rolling....

dpg - thanks Brother! 'preciate the props~!

Tom - Thanks man - i knew you or Justin would know!

So here is to this snow storm turning to rain today!! :beerchug:

Rich:thumbup:

Your wheels look HYPER Silver.:cool: Very nice finish. I really like them and would love to see a close up of the rear with the new rubber when you get a chance. Thanks for posting up a sweet X5:thumbup:

BC....no sweat man.....when this crappy weather clears out, I will be sure to get a nice close up and a shot from the rear with the new skins!

Rich:thumbup:

Oh my.

dub-those are led tail lights.... very cool mod...
