I'm back! elisiX's 2018 Black Sapphire / Mugello Red X5M

elisiX · 02-18-2018, 04:28 PM

I've been back on the X5M forums recently, as I have been waiting for a new arrival.

I picked up my new 2018 X5M last weekend, but left the car with a mate of mine who details all of my cars.

The car has had a full paint correction, XPEL PPF applied to everything but the roof, and Gyeon inside/out.

Details:

Black Sapphire Metallic
Mugello Red

Privacy glass
Factory black 612M wheels

M Performance carbon mirror caps
M Performance black front grills
M Performance black side vents
M Performance Pedals
M Performance Steering wheel carbon
M Performance carbon DCT shifter
M Performance carbon console

Planned mods include:

Eisenmann Race exhaust
KW V3 Coilovers
and wheels in about a year...

The car looks amazing and I am so happy to be behind the wheel of the X5M again. My first 2016 X5M was Carbon Black / Mugello Red, but the black and red together are even more suited.

I had the option of going with the new Black Fire edition, with a similar colour combo, however there was a premium for that car here, and I also was not too keen on the piano black trim with Black Fire text across it.

That is a great combo. Wow!

One mean-ass monster. Definitely the lethal older brother of the F15.
How's the stock exhaust note on the X5Ms in real life? It sounds a bit odd in videos.

elisiX · 02-25-2018, 06:18 AM

Put it this way. I prefer it to my M3 with MPE.

That said, it’s not loud enough, so an Eisenmann Race is planned.
