Ohhhh man nice!

Food in Vegas is typically very good!!!

Wait a minute!

Is this the 600 HP X5M?

I'd be in big trouble trying not to haul a$$ in that beast!

Yeah google maps say 4hrs 22min but been there before and guessing since the color of my ride is red I'll be there in about 3?

Your pictures look amazing without any filters. A lot of the pictures people post on here with filters look terrible (just my opinion). If you have an iPhone, you can edit it in the Photos app without making the picture over-edited.

Aside from the 300+ days of sunshine here in AZ, having no front plate mandated truly keeps the front end clean!

Congrats on your purchase and happy to read you're putting miles of enjoyment on her!
I'll be sure to give you a rev and head nod if I see you around the desert!

Luminor513 · 07-27-2021, 01:57 PM

Looks like a fun road trip. Definitely a bug destroyer. Toronto looks good w MSS suspension.

Spoolin Montego · 07-27-2021, 03:34 PM

How did it clean up? I have a red f95 just like yours. took it on a 1k mile roadtip and the paint is so destroyed now. tons of chips basically everywhere

I have it wrapped in PPF so no damage, but found it very hard to get the bugs out of the rad area's due to them being so closed off. No real easy way to access but I noticed hosing the bottom a few times with LOTS of water they eventually move out. But it took me about 3 washes.

For the main radiator area, take a mini shop vac and insert the hose from the kidney grills aiming down. I had 20-30 cicadas in mine that I was able to clear out. The smaller side inlets are harder to access.

Really nice X5M, never seen in Red before and it is amazing!!

And 20,7 mpg is not bad at all, for a +600hp (heavy) car!

Congrats

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

TheVazha · 07-27-2021, 09:55 PM

Amazing man, these are the best kind of miles to put on the ride. Loveeee road trips in a capable SUV!

MiamiFan13 · 07-27-2021, 11:15 PM

Love your truck. The Toronto red looks amazing along with the drop. Enjoy!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 07-28-2021, 01:39 AM

Tenac - That's a very beautiful X5M & I'm glad to see you actually enjoying it as it was built & intended to enjoy on long road trips. Now you just have to upgrade the wife's X3 M40i. You said you have PPF on the front quarter (so does that mean: front bumper, hood, side fenders & headlights)... ?

For the PPF yeah basically what you stated is covered. For the X3 M40i the wife would kill me if that got replaced or altered she loves that ride.

Not a lot of difference. If feels a bit more subtle over the bumps but also same time less body roll. For the trip it was a breeze, sadly I didn't get to take OEM setup on that long of a trip to compare. I personally only did it for the stance, the stock setup puts these things on stilts.
