Pics of my Carbon Black X5 30d MSport
I've had my Carbon Black X5 30d MSport for over a month now... options are listed in my sig. This forum has been a great source of info, so thanks to all! I thought it was time to share pics of my car...

I haven't detailed the car yet - waiting on supplies - so apologies if it's not quite up to standard. I will post pics of its first detail in this thread so these will make good "before" pics.

No mods at the moment except for window tint - Bolle MkII tint, windows 35%, and pano roof 20%. For next mods, thinking quad exhaust tips (flat or round...?), and some form of rear DVD entertainment system - haven't found one that I really like yet. The active headrests really get in the way of a good rear DVD system! Any suggestions for mods etc are welcome.

I love the color combo on your car. Very nice ride.. But what's the deal on the mudflaps?? It seems English and Australian people love mudflaps on their cars..

I didn't know that.. Is it an option to delete the mudflaps if you don't want them?

When I went to pick-up the car, the mudflaps were already supplied & installed "free" by the dealer. But I guess it would be possible to ask the dealer not to put them on.

I don't mind them... and it seems to be preventing chips/marks at the backsides of wheel arches, which some M-Sport owners in this forum have experienced.

I think it does a great job. Looks-wise it's definitely better than window sox. I'll take some pics and post here as soon as I can.

To me it looks like the unpainted surface of the mudflaps doesn't blend with the all-painted plastic trim - wheel arches (flares), bumper, side boards, etc.
I think BMW should provide painted mudflaps with the M-Sport package.

Btw, your car looks great!
