Thanks man! No rubbing so far. I drove home with the stock tires/wheels in the car and it handled the extra weight without any rubbing.

2012 X5 with diesel engine. I have been looking for low mileage examples over the past few weeks and was on the fence between diesel and gas engine. The one I am getting has too much junk in it, but the interior is gorgeous with my preferred color leather (cinnamon), leather dash, soft close doors, all the electronic toys and cameras.

Not sure how long this link will stay active but here it is:

And special thanks for the carwash coupon you sent me. It came in handy after a snowy drive back from Tahoe.

Installed my 18" OZ Racing Superturismo LM's a few weeks ago and earlier this week installed the VIP intake.

In a couple of weeks VIP exhaust and some other mods.

Pulled out my oil pressure gauge (didn't like the electrical connection to the sensor, pulled to tight) and replaced it with an ultragauge that I'm testing.

Tinted the windows, applied the bonnet stripes, and installed the roof rack / stubby antenna. (Done over the last week)

The side stripes will have to wait for a bit longer.

Ok have been driving with a sprint booster that was purchased from one of the members here... here is my opinion.

LOVE IT .. The car behaves a lot more responsive, have been driving while both in sport mode and without, also been using it with the green and red settings. The car is a totally different animal, it is just so much more responsive.

Im wondering now if i should do a tune... then think of my 19 year old or my 22 yr old not being disciplined and placing themselves in a bad situation. Eh will just leave it that way for now and make sure its switched off prior to them driving... the switch to change response and encourage bad behavior is hidden...

Outer stripe is 2 inches wide. The gap is 1/2 inch.
