Just wanted to take a minute to say "Hi" to all the X5M owners!
I just purchased a 23 X5MC and I'm extremely excited to have it delivered next week.
As a M8CGC & X7 owner, there truly is no better brand out there. For me part of the amazing ownership experience is having access to this forum! No other brand does this better. I'm anxious to learn & contribute to the X5M group.
I've already ordered from Ben at RG MSS springs & spacers to have this lowered, but if there are any other must have mods please share your input!
I will update pics once it gets delivered.
(Also this is a 23 with 25k miles, comp pack, drive pro pack, executive pack, extended leather. I paid $80,500.00 which I feel like is a fairly good deal. If there is such a thing &#129315
Thanks for looking.

Congrats. This mod is almost free and I really think it add some pop and detail to black cars. I just removed the emblems, sanded and gave them a few coats of red spray paint I got on Amazon.

congrats. Get some dustless pads asap. Trust me it makes a world of a difference with brake dust. If you are OCD about keeping your wheels clean this is a MUST.

I regret not doing it sooner dealing with dirty wheels all the time and annoying brake squeal.

Thanks Alan!
This will definitely drive me crazy, any suggestions on which dustless pads to purchase?

If the pads on my car also squealed, I would also have replaced them to keep the wheels cleaner and the brakes quiet. My E92 M3 never squealed either.

Just a quick update: I just picked up my X5MC after getting the MSS springs installed.
Wow what a difference!! Not only does it look so much better, but the ride has definitely improved! If anyone is considering this mod, I would highly recommend this.
Here a few pictures when I picked it up, but will try to add more later.
Huge shot out to Ben r33_RGSport for all of his help!

No, these are after install. After getting it home and inspecting it, I realized that it's definitely not as low as I would've expected. I'm disappointed, and working with Ben to try and trouble shoot. The springs were pre adjusted prior to shipping, so I guess now it's back to the shop.
Extremely frustrated to spend $1k in labor and be without my vehicle for a full day, and now have to take it back and do it all over again. 🙄
