It was a bit harder than I thought it would be! And really by that I mean I had to use a lot more force to pop the original ones out than I thought I would. The first one I did took close to 15 minutes as I was trying to be as careful as possible to pop it off and tried every angle possible to attack it from. The second one though, I just gave it a couple of really good pulls and it popped out and had the new one in in under 5 minutes.

So were they just clips holding them (OEM ones) on or clips and 3M tape like the replacement?

Clips and 3M tape for the ones from the factory and the OEM painted replacements.

Phenomenal build, leaving every spectator green with envy. Thanks for sharing!
This is the only exterior color that should come with a free ride on Sikorsky HH-3E Jolly Green Giant. |

What a great color. It pops in all the sun you have where you live! Absolutely stunning
It’s great that there are ppl who actually go ahead with their unorthodox choices and make the world (roads) so much more interesting and fun!

Thanks! Yeah, it really pops in the Arizona sunshine, even if it is almost always dusty since we live in the desert.

Hey Chicago. You still glad you got rid of the m3 for the x5? I've been driving the wife's new x5 40i the last few days and I'm just in love with it. I would want the v8 for sure and dynamic handling package but the inline 6 is butter and plenty of giddyup. The refinement and interior is just miles ahead of our f15 x5 even though I like the old school interior it has.
I've had brief thoughts of getting rid of my m3 for an m50 or 60. I wouldn't go x5m I don't think unless I found a smoking deal on a pre lci. I think the m50 or 60 is the sweet spot. I just really love my manual m3 and not sure I can live without it. The performance and luxury of these suvs is just insane now though and I could use it everyday. My m3 of my choice is stored winters and only driven when nice or decent out. Just curious your thoughts. Thanks!

The one thing I do miss the most from the M3 is the exhaust note. While I did have the Remus race cat back exhaust on it, and at times it was a bit overbearing, it sounded way better than the V8 on this X5 due to the muted exhaust notes from the factory. I’d really like to get something out on the X5 to wake up that V8 a bit more but I’m also a bit hesitant as I did go a bit too far on the M3…and my wife was already not happy with me even making the comment that the X5 is too quiet for my tastes.

Yeah, I drove my M3 into work this morning after reading your reply. That is what puts a smile on my face is the visceral sound. I have the full Valvetronic exhaust, and the sound is awesome! Plus, the manual equals a great experience for me. One part of me says I wouldn't want to loud of a luxury freight liner suv but the other part would like it to act like the V8 it has under the hood. They are so well insulated though that not sure how loud you'd need it on the outside to be able to enjoy it on the inside and live with it on highway runs etc. Ahh, the little things we obsess over lol. I don't owe to much more on my M3 and then it would make things easier to own both which would be a great combo! Every time I get a twinkle to get rid of the M3, I drive it and say man I can't get rid of this thing. I look at what I paid for the M and the low interest rate as well a few years ago. To get into a new one or any sports car for that matter at current times I would pay way more than I did for mine. It really eases the mind what I have when I compare it that way. Anyways thanks for the response and listening to me ramble lol. Being car guys and enthusiast is a great but sometimes complicated relationship.
