What's your beater/daily driver?

[EthanolTurbo]

Hey what are your thoughts on the e70 x5m?

I have been giving serious consideration to selling my e70 35d for one. I don’t drive the 35d as much to justify having the diesel. Since I use occasionally, I was thinking of picking up the x5m so I can have fun with when I do drive the x5. The maintenance costs is what scares me the most, from the research that I have done. How has yours held up?

Don't do it. The X5M is not nearly as reliable as an X5D, isn't faster in day to day driving, gets half the MPG, and is the same chassis. For a lot less hassle you could just do R90 fuel pump + hybrids on the X5D and have X5M power with more torque, same MPG, and still far more reliable than the S63 engine. If you haven't tuned and deleted the X5D I highly recommend doing that.

2022 X5 40 msport. The M3 is still my favorite but this thing comes pretty close.

So far I’ve done:

Ceramic coating
15% llumar IRX to match the rear
80% xenith windshield for heat rejection
50% xenith over the remaining windows and sunroof/ pano roof to go over factory tint for heat rejection.

IND front and rear color matched reflectors (not yet installed)

Match 8 amp from Bimmrtech (newest amp available) they replaced match 7.

Focal speaker upgrade.

Oem floor mats/liners front and rear with rear trunk mat.


Photo attached is post tint and ceramic coating install.

My daily is a BMW i3s. I try to drive my m3 as much as possible, but for the cost of a single tank of gas for the e46m3 I can drive the i3s ~2000 miles.

Love seeing all the other Toyotas posted... Here's my '17 4Runner TRD Pro. These days it gets more mods than the M3.

This must blow away 99% of unsuspecting challengers that make an attempt.

F30 328d. 40+mpg. Oil changes and brake pads in the last 50K miles. Loving every bit of it.

My wife and I recently picked up a RAV4 Hybrid XSE, it's pretty sweet as far as "regular" cars go. Gets like 37-43mpg so far and you can throw a ton of shit in it. Barry likes it too
