[@EderSivers-eb1li]

Very beautiful! I have one with 35 tires and original engine and suspension

[@QRS365]

i will love to see an offroad bumper for the e53

[@mcmaus321]

Perfect 🫡👍

[@TwoWheeledDecaf]

this is fantastic!

[@ecstuning]

Thank you! 🙌

[@labbuilt]

I want these parts to come out so i can make them fit my x3

[@HiChrisByeChris]

I have an 08 X5 & I’m daydreaming of making this happen!

[@murat12377]

My dream car from now on. 😢

[@erossantoyo]

Can’t believe the build is over🥲

[@ecstuning]

Phase one of the X5 has come to an end 😔

[@user-jo6ce1sq4z]

is there an e70 locking diff option like this? sweet build.

[@leveluplife8585]

I have an e53 and I am curious how the mpg is with those big tires and do you still have a 6th gear that is usable?

[@csoell]

Super neat. Any idea when the roof rack will be available to order?

[@ecstuning]

We're still waiting on an ETA for the roof rack, but we'll be sending updates out as soon as it's available!

[@jwknight001]

@@ecstuningany update yet on the ETA?

[@Ryantravisaol]

how bad is a lift on drivetrain components?

[@Jmort93]

I feel like the 1st gen Touareg and Lexus GX’s would be better for this use case. The X5’s do not have 4Lo which really limits where you can go

[@adareone]

Why did you go with at V8? that engine is prone to failures. How many miles, how much did you pay the car?

[@dan1906]

Wonky editing and goofy music. Sort of nauseating. Generally, I really enjoy anything Mike is doing, but this video is not well done.

[@everardoalba]

You’re real soft if you felt “nausea” cuz of a video.

[@dan1906]

@everardoalba "nauseating" is an expression, not a literal symptom. Most relatively intuitive people can easily infer this without explanation. You, however, missed this simple concept. And, your use of "cuz", in place of "because" is in keeping with your general slowness.
You're not particularly bright, are you?
