Just landed 2009 Xdrive35D
 

I'm a new paid member and hope to contribute quite a bit to this forum as a total gear head and engineer. Own a total of 5 diesels currently from 15 liters to 1.8 liters & can never get enough of them. Owned various powerstrokes from 7.3s, 6.0s and 6.7s.

So I finally found the right 35D with basically every factory option available including rear air bags and adaptive drive which were critical to me. Never seen another 35D with these many factory options so I'm quite happy about that.

One owner car out of Houston. And I have all the service records up to the current 77,000 miles.

Time to start yanking everything off & tayloring her to my desires. She's 100% a project car so I'm blessed for that.

Would anyone be able to PM me the contact information for Ryan with BRR? He is #1 on my list of tuners but I can't locate any contact information across dozens of threads. I want to give him my money as he is apparently not only very knowledge but does right by his clients. As a small business owner, critical to me. Feel like the guy is in the witness protection program!! LOL

Anyway, I tend to do some out of the box modifications & hope to contribute in the not too distant future.

Her she is in 100% stock form. And I noticed my driver side air bag has a leak! So this replacement is forced upon me as my first project!

Sorry I don't have photos hosted for public view easily right now.

No image, but welcome to the forum

Sorry, I just posted a URL hosted pic above.

Very nice condition!

Looks nice! Welcome!

For the BRR info I usually see the guys/gals over on the M57 E90 forum with his info, unless someone here can provide it as well...

Welcome, nice 35d! Xbimmers has more action for E70 in my opinion

Link to photos do not work. And sorry to burst your bubble but it does not look like it has 'all the options' - most notably no Sports Package.

Sorry about the link not working, I did post a picture that seems to be working fine. Didn't have time to deal with all the URL stuff.

Actually my bubble is not burst...still quite intact...for now at least! Lol. Yes, it absolutely has the Sports Package or I wouldn't have AD. So only in 2009, if you ordered the Sports package, it came with Adaptive Drive. The sports package in 2009 consisted of: Active Roll Stabilization and Electronic Damping Control suspension, 19-inch wheels, heavily bolstered sport seats and Anthracite trim. Some which is easy to see via exterior of X5s but I also find it very difficult to know with absolute certainly which X5s had sports packages looking purely from an exterior pic. Or at least that's my experience after decoding nearly 100 VINs over the last 6 months while trying to find this gem.

The only thing that I've found not optioned on the car is Comfort Seats. Not sure if those were offered in 2009 but absolutely assume so. So I'll swap out the Sport seats for them. Already can't stand the sports seats. Never liked them in my M3 but never drove that car on long distance trips or I'd be carrying a case of oil! I can't take em longer than about 1 - 1.5 hours. Horrible seats if you ask me and after the ABC delete....first thing I do for the interior.

For reference here were the options on this thing. Sticker was over $74,000 but I paid about 1/7 of that.

My favorite option? "COP CONTROL"

Welcome!

Quite impressed with your nuanced understanding of the 2009 sport package!


US dealers hated that BMW put it all in one, making it a $6500 (?) option. They pressed BMW to take AD out of it, saying 'we can sell the trim shit for $$$, but that weird AD stuff is too expensive" So they split out a $4500AD and a 2200 trim pkg.


So BMW did. The "Sport package" became "Sport Activity Package". If I recall.


15L? Hmm. Not 4 wheels.


;)

I stand corrected then, I thought those were 18 inch wheels not 19 inch
