I did the rear reflectors from diode dynamics. Are the side ones worth it?

Steeda high flow filters , rip out the carbon traps and put in h-pipe. That’s it for now. Save your money for tune. otherwise a waste unless you like eye candy for $700

Yeah, good point , twin 6 is just not the same if you want that muscle car sound. CTS-5 BW puts you over $100k and with that $ I’m in another level car choice bracket. Don’t get me wrong, sick car but still a 4-door sedan. Dated as well. coupe and V8’s for me!

Would’ve been interesting to see manual versions. I considered the blackwing because it’s unique availabllity in manual. Otherwise it’s just a 4-door auto Cadillac. Not interested

We will see as our X5 is 4 years this Xmas. Problem is at 4 year’s warranty is up. No 5 year powertrain.. Also maintenance doesn’t include oil changes at 5k or tire rotations so that’s a bit shady when these German companies include “maintenance “ I have done my own at 5k. At the end of the day...

Oh, well unlike most others on here I do like the M2 and almost bought a manual. But V8 sound; Tremec manual, BMW cost of ownership and overall looks had me go with the Dark Horse few months ago. My wife has the 22 X5 m-sport and that’s enough BMW in one garage for me at this point in my life:

You’re lucky to be able to have both a 5.0 and M2!

Good question. No idea but not like we are good enough to tell right ? Lol

I was just saying find a 24 because the MSRP is $5000 less for same thing. As far as making HP better, I think Steeda can do that fairly easy for less than what a HP upgrade costs.

Agreed but I think our voice is important and noticed by Ford!

In the last couple weeks I’m seeing M2’s everywhere! It’s weird Ton of them in Chicago, and I was visiting friends in eastern Maryland, saw a couple there too. Still happy with my choice as I see way less Dark Horse’s

Buy a non-hp, 24 if possible and modify to better than HP for way cheaper

You’re lucky, that’s like striking gold!

Oh boy, awkward

It’s almost like something was laying on it, indented it. Tough break man. Sucks how these dealers will waste your time like it’s not worth a shit when you have to bring it back! They should compensate.
