First Post and First BMW
 

Well been lurking around this forum for some time now, finally decided to take the plunge and bought a 2006 X5 4.4i. I've had her for about two days now and I must say I'm totally in love!

Congrats on your new ride and,

GL, mD

PS: why aren't you over watching the Masters?! ;)

Not too much of a golfer here, well not unless I have had a few beers in me!

Enjoy) Looks pretty. :xoutpost:

You'll fall in love more after you drive it a little more :) Do not hesitate to pedal it.

nice matching tints. needs bigger wheels!

it's the weekend! get to drinkin!

Welcome to the board!

Enjoy your new ride. :thumbup:

Stealthy black. Nice choice. Enjoy.

looks clean, congrats!

now peel that "hughes" sticker off the back door!

Nice. Drive it like you stole it for a couple days. Then you'll be in love ...

Welcome, Congratz, and as Naz said start peeling!! LOL!....

Welcome to the gang!!

Naz, I agree it is quite atrocious to say the very least... Do you know of any good ways to remove it without damaging the paint paint underneath? I would take it back to the dealer and have them remove their shameless plug but I'm not too sure of the competency.

Nice choice on your first BMW! Now get out and drive this weekend - you are going to love it!!! :thumbup:

I'm not sure how it's held on. But I assume it's a cheap vinyl sticker. Just peel with your fingers carefully, and slap some wax on after to remove any residue. Simple fix!

Welcome to the boards, great looking X and GO DAWGS!

May be to make things easier, heat it with a hairdryer before to soften the glue. If some glue remains, use gasoline on a rag to remove it, then immediatly clean with soapy water.

Thanks to Turbo and Naz and some free time at work, the BIG A$$ dealer decal has been removed!!!

I took the time to drive around the country roads in the areas to find out what the X can and can't do and I must say WOW :wow:!!! This is one AMAZING machine!!!

fantastic car, can imagine how u feel :)

Welcome to another fellow Ga boy :thumbup:

Need bigger wheels. I say this as my 06 4.4i has the same ones.

I agree, I would like to change the current wheel setup out with the 20" 168 staggered setup. Possibly in something like Ferric black. Anyway, that'll be a late summer project or I may just give myself an early B-Day/ Graduation present.

Looking at that 4.4, something is bugging me..
4.4 with black window trim = sport package no?
Sport package = Staggered wheels?
Unless it came with 2 sets of tires.
