2021 X5 40i sapphire black

Got my 2021 X5 order in last week. Black on cognac. All I’ve done is Tints /ceramic coating and waiting on installing my maxton front lip. Love the car so far. PS I hope the pictures come out ok I haven’t used this forum before as well as posting from my iPhone lol.

Dealer sent me this a few days before I picked it up

Thanks good to know, I’ll check if am allowed on a lease first.
Curious how come this one seems more on the 300$ side of things and the other thread with AC Schnitzer I think it’s called quick search came up to 2600$
Is it a question of material?

I have used Maxton stuff before on other cars. Never had any issues and think it's quite well made for the price point you can't go wrong. I think other places just put huge Markup on there stuff. One thing to note is you will have go get self tappers and drill little pilot holes.

I’m not sure which brand but 15% all around even over the factory tint that the car came with and 50% windshield.

Oh I also installed IND color matched front reflectors. Here’s a picture from yesterday morning.

I had a body shop install the splitter. It took about 30 minutes and seemed fairly easy but the hardware maxton provided was not used. Instead the body shop used their own hardware along with 3M double sided tape.

Need a wash lol
