Installed the Ultragauge today! Haven't driven with it yet but first impressions are good.
UPS showed up early today with the package from ECS and an early out from work. Got the parking bakes changed out, new Hawk 5.0 pads and new Brembo rotors all in the rear, with time to spare before my Son and his girlfriend arrived frorm Northern Ohio.

cleaned all leather and plastic surfaces (especially rear seat that keeps getting milk sprayed on it...PITA getting it out of the perforated leather), removed and cleaned the rubber floor mats, vacuumed extensively, cleaned rear cargo cover and the cargo tray, vacuumed that area and cleaned inside of the windows on the X5...nice to have carpet and carpet floor mats exposed again.
The all-weather rubber floor mats from BMW did a great job of keeping the winter crud off the carpets

I am deleting the U.S. Spec tag/bracket/lights on the rear panel. I will remove the tag tomorrow. Weld up any holes associated with that assembly. Then rear is done with welding.

Did you leave the carpet floor mats in place and do rubber overtop?Quote:
