Gixxer's F95 X5M Tanzanite II build
Hi everyone,
Longtime carguy and forum member here... I have owned 4 generations of X5s through the years, starting with the e53 X5 4.6is, e70 X5M (see build link below), f85 X5M and NOW this F95 X5M. It is currently sharing the garage with my wife's e93 M3 convertible. *If you are curious and want to dig in to see what I have done with my other cars, I have added a few links below to some of my most noteworthy builds: Crazy Porsche 911 Turbo S/GT2 build https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...s-turbo-s.html e70 Pure Turbos X5M build https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1091089 F83 M4 CS/GTS tribute build; https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1371601 e34 Supercharged 540i/6 M Sport https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...B-thread-(pics) Ok, now on to the f95 X5M... I searched nationwide to find the right one. Months later, I finally located and acquired this 2020 X5M as a CPO at Brahman BMW in West Palm Beach. It is Tanzanite II over Ivory with a build date prior to locked ECUs. Here is the first photo: Bone stock. Taken at Jekyll Island on our 800 mile road trip back home from Fla. (excellent way to get fully acquainted with our new X5M): Within a few days, the mods began: I immediately had the side windows tinted, windshield tinted, black grilles and side vents installed, lowered on MSS height adjustable springs with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. Soon after, accomplished paint correction and full ceramic coating. I also have a RC Black series tune that I haven't installed yet? MUCH BETTER!: ...and of course, custom spec 22" wheels were soon on order: fitted: ...And just a few weeks later, I decided on ANOTHER set of wheels. More to come... |

Yeah man. I’m a fan of that color too. Haha. I stealth wrapped ours and it came out looking very cool. Tanzanite is like a subtle color that’s not flashy compared to Long Beach or Marina Bay. It’s like old money vs new money.
The ECUs sre unlocked? That’s very smart. I’d carry a pair of coveralls in case you gotta drive it with dirty clothes on with the white interior. Man, that’s gotta look good against TBii.

Yea, I'm a bit conflicted too...
Not enough garage space for 2 garage queens. It is an awesome truck and I love it, but the reality is that this one gets driven the least and it really should be enjoyed more. I originally bought it for my wife to daily, but she is freaked out about dealing with careless people parking next to it and other idiots on the roads. She doesn't want to drive it in the rain or in other precarious weather conditions... I'm in total agreement with her. It's too nice to deal with that. |

Dang, its a great looking one, but decisions are decisions. GLWS, I doubt it will be up for sale for too long, its just a great offer and vehicle.

Love the new setup. The concavity just makes it look aggressive but yet classy at the same time.

I still have the ad up at the moment, but I'm considering taking it down. I really love the vehicle, especially since I put the new wheels on it! |
