Beautiful pics.
Interesting that the X6 M50d comes with power dome while the X5 M50d does not.

Great job!

Cheers

W.O.W This thing is amazing, congrats!

I have now the ceramic pads on the M50d as they arrived mid week so I had 4 days of driving with oem's pads.

I had been running Carbotech ceramic pads in my past couple X5's but on this occasion had to get EBC Ceramic pads as Carbotech could not get hold on the front blank brake plates. The front rotors are 385mm and since the US is not getting the M50d, Europe was the only place that had them.

Both the European X5 & X6 50i run 385mm rotors (as well the M50d)because of the Autobahn.

The new compound from EBC I would say is a little better than the Carbotech's, the brake force is less and the bite is greater, also up against the OEM's which while on felt soft and spongy also.

The dust from the OEM's was terrible to say the least, due to the front pads being so large, you can imagine how much brake dust there would have been. I would say the ceramics are 60% less dust but that will improve as they bed-in. (previous ceramics pads got better as time passed).

Wondering if the bonnet of an X6 would fit a X5, suppose you could put the bonnet off a X5M on?

Very nice! Eagle place?

X5 M and X6 M fronts are same, not sure of X5 and X6 M50d. You can try the facelift X5 M powerdome hood. Worst case, you will have to change the fenders and bumper piece too. ;)

Here is a front photo of the M50d, very simular to X5M front bar, lost the fog lights as did the X5M.
