Looks good, any plans to replace the reflectors too?
I am not going to be doing that, however next week I am replacing the exhaust chrome trim with IND's parts.

Are you having the dealer/a shop install them or doing it yourself

I'm not doing the install, a body shop is doing it due to the rear bumper has to be removed.

I want to see if it can be done without removing the bumper or diffuser because the would be ideal if not I'll go the same route you did

From the tech docs it looks like you can but I don't have my X5 yet to physically look so I'll have your word

Wishing you all a happy new year
I'm a bit jealous that we don't get the M50d here in the States. I'd be all over that if it were.

And boy, I know it's beating a dead horse, but your rear seats seem to be more "wrinkly" than most.

Let us know what become of your interaction with BMW regarding that issue.

Perfect outcome. I'm so glad they stepped up for you. Good luck with you other issues.

Show us photos of the new seats when they are installed.

Order this part number times 2 from your BMW dealership parts department. It comes already stenciled to install on the fenders.

I am really starting to like Phytonic Blue Metallic. this picture looks awesome. Great choice. I also am starting to lean towards the 20" 740M wheels. The beefier tire sits well. Congrats
