Common practice for BMW owners!! Ha Ha.... I'm constantly doing this.

A few years back I had a group of kids park next to my X5 and purposely threw to door into my car...... I think it was a month old.... Thankfully the dealer fixed it....
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Yep, I go out of the way to park in a safe spot. I’m installing a dash cam this week. Hopefully, it’ll never be needed in a similar situation. Between living in a small town with firefighter plates and a USAF veteran’s license plate frame, hopefully they’ll leave it alone.

Yea odd, it showed up when I looked at it on my phone. And yea I feel like you could probably get a little close for the curb with a little more effort. 🙂🙂

I’ll admit that I gave it a smile of satisfaction when I walked away. “ Yeah, that’ll do.”

Looks nice in white. There is part of me that wishes I'd have gotten white instead of MBB as the white is much easier to take care of and clean and doesn't show swirls

2025 BMW X5 50e  [9.50]
Quick and super easy DIY 🔧🪛

I really like the more discreet / minimal look of the bumper after installing this rear diffuser. This is not a plastic cover or 3M taped thingy, it’s an actual replacement trim, so the factory one comes off (easy).

Price was really good (bought it at a 70% discount), good quality too.

Link here if anyone’s interested.

Got this ride 3 weeks ago and still that excited. Thanks to this forum I was able to choose the best options for my new car.

Greetings from Sofia, Bulgaria.

Thank you for the post, it does look better than the OME diffuser, I've always thought it does look off on the M Sport package.

My wife stares at me all the times when I do this. One thing I miss from my pre LCI is the LCI no longer detects curbs in the front to bring up the camera view. I wonder if you let the car park itself, would it put the car in the middle or closer to the edge? I like to park at end spots or away from others. One time I was coming out from Lowes, a sucker intentionally pushed his shopping cart to my car and drove off.

Thank you for the parts & discount… r33_RGSport

Shes looking a whole lot nicer with the red nails ! Drive feel good, giving it a few days for the suspension to settle
How do you find these Contis? I’ve recently put my winter tires (Michellins / 20s) vs my original 22 P zeros, and Oh boy it feels like so much more comfortable driving.

I swear to God 22s tho look absolutely stunning but comparing ride now, Im super perplexed and not sure what to do in the spring will be changing to summer tires back, ie whether to replace P Zeros (to Conti/ or Michellins) or the problem is w 22s, so it would make more sense to go to 20s for the summer driving as well

To anyone who wants to hear a crazy story here it is:

I was leaving business lunch a few weeks ago and literally stumbled upon exactly the same vehicle as mine, same color and… even the same numbers on plate.

I swear, I looked into the mirror, pinched myself and first thought was “have I been drugged or something?” and “what the hell am I driving then?”

Second later, I almost did 180 police turn, managed to race the other car, only to find out that the look-a-like had exactly the same plate bar only 1 letter difference (but the numbers were exactly the same), believe it or not.

I don’t want to disclose my plates for privacy reasons but I had a chat w other lady driver and she was a shocked as me, insane experience
