Did you have to ask them not to mount the front plate?

No, not really, my SA left it up to me and sure I'm thankful for that, it cost me $400 on my previous car to fill those holes

Which bracket did you get? I'm in MA but ordered my build from Tulley up in Nashua. I might tell them not to mount it and do what you did.

Nice looking ride BTW. Looks like the one I ordered. AG with black leather, msport with brakes and shadow. Added executive, climate, parking and a hitch. In production now with a 2/21 prod date. I'm coming from a F15 that seized up on me at Breton woods MLK weekend. It was a CPO from Sudbury that had 6 days left in it before it went boom. I'm going to extend the warranty to 90k on this one.

Thank you! I got my first bimmer from Tulley (great place, many friends there over the years)

The bracket is from sly brackets, decided on it after some research, word of advice if you decide to order one also get leveling kit ($10 extra) to make sure plate seats leveled, I didn't know and had to order it after the fact!

Sorry to hear about u F15 but G05 is better and u'll see it soon enough!

I appreciate it

Any of you Massachusetts guys know a good shop to install H&R Springs on my G05 X5 for reasonable price?
Any help would be appreciated.

I was about to recommend Turner on NorthShore but looks like they relocated elsewhere (they installed H&R on my E70)
check out massBMW group on FB, they will tell you for sure!

Yes on my list (part of paradigm kit)

front lip
rear diffuser
side skirts
upper and lower rear spoilers

but it might take a bit of time before it gets here and gets installed, probably Spring time.

They are not far from where they were, they are now in Newton NH, just barely over the border from MA into NH (just north of Haverhill).

Thank you, yes those mirror covers are great, I wanted them forever didn't have them on my previous X5M E70

It seems car photographs usually darker and then a bit of editing also makes it bit darker

I'm not complaining, wanted something toned down, so I got what I was looking for

winter came back
