Hey guys, pretty new to posting. Bought my 2023 x5 m50i almost 3 years ago and haven’t done much since I still have my warranty. I love this car and once warranty is up this May, i’m excited to start building this car. So far, I’ve done:

- 15% tint all around / 50% Windshield
- RGB Drls
- Front Lip
- Carbon fiber m-style mirror caps
- Vossen HF-2
- Dinan Spacers - 12mm front / 15mm rear
- Exhaust Valve Controller
- BMC Air Filters

Would love to see other M50i builds

Love the spoiler! I have a 2023 x5 m50 as well and came very close to trading her in yesterday for a 2026 x5 40 m sport carbon black but I couldn’t. I am a little worried about the bmw 8 cylinder engine. Just sad how fast the valve drops.

thank you! been wanting to buy the x5m retrofit spoiler since i don’t like the other aftermarket options they have. Can’t go wrong with a big body b58, The newer v8s are said to be more reliable as they fixed the coolant issues with the previous n63s. The N63TU3 seems the be the most reliable which are in the 2023 m550i and x5,x6,x7 m50i’s

I’m in the same boat - warranty is up and now modding.

The stance on yours looks great. Have you noticed any difference in the ride?

Thoughts on getting mud guards since the tires will throw gravel and debris all over the side of the car due to the spacers?

Sick whip nice stance is it lowered and if so what suspension you go with?

what you have done so far? and i appreciate it, with only spacers and 22 inch wheels , i’ve felt no difference in ride quality. the tires do pick up a decent bit of small rocks but that may be due to my 10.5 wide wheel and tire setup being 1.5 inches wider than factory

not lowered yet, planning on going with mss adjustables since I heard H&R springs make the ride more stiff while also offering the lowest drop

Yes I went with h&r for the same reason that it had the lowest drop

Just the resonator delete and a valve controller for now. Aiming to powder coat the rims silver and get a lip kit in the near future
