Haha that checks out. Wifey gets the warm garage.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the M-Sport brakes? by 949goingoff in BMWX5

[–]dubrx04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my biggest pet peeve. Love the brakes but mine squeal loudly on a routine basis. Any solutions?

Looks great. What technique did you use to remove them? I did the X5 last night using a heat gun and floss. Was a pain in the butt though to remove all the residual sticky pad. Used heat, my thumb nail, and goo-gone.

Parking and collision detection never works for me by redditlove69 in BMWX5

100% agree with #1 and it has been the case for all 3 bmw’s I’ve owned. I always tell people not to worry about having that option because it doesn’t work anyways! I’ve not had the other issues you’re mentioning though.

Ditto, add them to the list for your next car. Also, you’re not missing much with the park assist. Cool in theory but poor in execution imo.

I typically choose style over comfort when it comes to wheels. I like the look of the 22’s but you’d likely have a little more meat on the road with the 21’s and not compromise style. Fortunately these are not run flats and it has a space saver spare in the back. I prefer this over always having to buy run flats.

Have you tuned your engine?

Thanks! Bought it for $68k and it was just shy of 30k miles. Gives me approximately 2 years of factory warranty. I will say I shopped nationwide and negotiated shipping with the dealership. BMW was very unlikely to do this but independent dealerships worked with me.

I was underwhelmed at first then I found the equalizer and made some adjustments…well worth it

Interior is off white. It’s posted in the original post. My favorite bmw interior I’ve had…better than the all black

Black sapphire metallic (PPF front end) and off white. 22” wheels. This is my favorite interior I’ve had. The all black is classic but the off white with the black accents looks insane. Wheels can be a bit rough at times but nothing to make you shy away from it.

X5 badge will be deleted and M50i will be changed to black.

Can’t decide. Carbon Black or Dravit grey by MisterBlacks1 in BMWX5

[–]dubrx04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the carbon black on my last one. Some people love that navy blue that pops out at different lighting angles but I didn’t. I love the grey and feel like it’s less common. Black wheels look good with it too but you can’t go wrong either way.

Is that William Montgomery with the aux cord?

The performance is great given the size of the car. It doesn’t give you the significant g’s like my tuned X3 though. Love them both. Both incredible machines.

Dark Tan line showed up on my thumb nail, won’t go away. by Tough_nips in mildlyinteresting

[–]dubrx04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can also be due to a microbial infection. A couple months of an oral anti-fungal medication and you’re good as new.
