What about the seats though? :D

Looks great!

Amazingly gorgeous!

Looks incredible. I just picked up a 2023 Dravit Grey M50i and am loving the color! My future mod list is pretty similar to yours.

Nice! Let's see pics of the mods in the interior. I do like the front bumper painted middle section. Is that center part removable or did you have the entire bumper removed to be painted? Hard to tell in the pics what you did on the rear bumper. Can't tell any difference on the side vent. Looks stock black.

Here’s a couple of interior pics:

I’m sure they removed the bumper to paint the center section.

Regarding the side vent, here’s a closer pic of it. The inside part with the horizontal slats was painted Dravit Grey.

Love the painted bumper! Nice job, she's a beauty!

Wow you don’t mess around! Beautiful! I have a mineral white m sport trim and I think I’d like to whiten that front bumper part. Anyone know of a good wrap product that would match and would work well for that?

Mineral white will be very tricky. It’s hard to paint match, let alone a wrap. If it was me, I would definitely paint match.

Thanks. You’re probably right. I was looking for an easy inexpensive solution.

Looks incredible! I'm still thinking about painting the front bumper. While yours is a different color than mine (MGM), it gives a good idea of what the finished product would look like.

I don’t like what BMW is doing with these large black trim in their bumpers. I always paint these parts body color and, imo, looks 10x better.

My X4M also went straight from dealership to body shop for the rear bumper trim.

It certainly make the vehicle look a lot more finished.

I went to a local shop when I bought the X5 and they said it would be almost $2k to paint that piece since they'd need to remove the entire front section and would need to have all of the electronics recalibrated. That seemed like A LOT, so I put that $2k towards other vehicle mods. Still on my list of things I'd like to do.

Yeah, I don't particularly like what they did to the bumpers either, but at 2 grand I will live with it and put that towards other stuff first.

The painted bumper looks much nicer. The black looks a bit like trying to save on costs by replacing proper painted surfaces with cheap plastic.

Looks great!

Does anyone add power to them?

My wife has a 2025 40i and we want to add power to it.

It is skyscraper gray and she wants to add some pink to it somehow. She wants to wrap it pink but I was quoted 12k for color ppf!

Such a great looking X5 JLT! Question, how do you like the Vicrez guards? I can’t find anything decent for my 25’ X7M. I came across Vicrez’s website but I was a little skeptical. Then I saw your build thread with them on and they’re exactly what I’m looking for. Easy install? Do they do a good job at keeping debris from kicking up hitting the lower panels?

Thank you in advance for your feedback, I appreciate it!
