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!

These have been the best mudflaps I’ve used blocking debris. I like that it’s long and thin and you barely notice it’s there. Secured with 4 screws and washers.

On the Vicrez website, which texture mudflap did you get? Where did you get it painted? Was it painted on both sides or one side before installation?

I bought the textured black. Had back side painted body color (Dravit Grey) (the tire side was left unpainted) at A&L Autobody.

This is soooo nice! How does the interior matte trim match up with the coffee colored seats/door trim? I have that combo on order. Also, the outside rear view mirror housings from IND. Are those genuine BMW parts or aftermarket and do you have to remove your inside door panels to install them or just remove the stock mirror cover? Lastly, the color of the IND's mirror covers, does the black match good with the rest of the high gloss black around the base of the mirror and side window trim?

Congrats on the car. It looks amazing.

Is the kidney grille stock or did you replace it?

Good catch, forgot to add that to my list. Here’s the link to it: https://ind-distribution.com/collections/x5-g05/products/autotecknic-g05-x5-lci-dual-slat-front-grille-gloss-black

Did you have the active grille? And if so did you remove it?

JLT I swear I have seen you around the schaumburg area. Just came across your post since I just placed an order on a manhattan/cognac 26 50e. I will probably have chucky at A&L paint the center sectio, looks so much better. Unless he is super backed up.


Hows the car ride with the suspension lowered on the links? Im assuming all pictures taken were on load mode so its at its lowest.

You added the air suspensions? I don't think it was an option on the 40i for 2025.
