There are not to many vehicles that blend luxury, high performance and real utility like the range of BMW M SUV's. Enter the BMW X5M. Boasting over 560hp with huge brakes and space for 5 this BMW was the first SUV to dawn the famous BMW M badge. Eric Lopez is a long-time client of Butler Tire and a huge BMW enthusiast. He picked up this beautiful Long Beach Blue X5M and had some ideas on how he wanted to personalize it.

Wanting to enhance the looks without overpowering the OEM lines Eric started with front BMW Performance Gloss Black grills and side gills from IND Style and adding floor mats from the previous model X5M with the ///M on them. The biggest change though was upgrading to 22” Vossen HF-1 Hybrid Forged Wheels wrapped in monster Vredestein Tires. Measuring 22x10.5 up front and 22x12 in the rear the split spoke design offers a lightweight wheel that showcases those beautiful big brakes. Eric then went with H&R suspension upgrades to visually lower the BMW X5M to give it more of an aggressive look and enhance handling.

For added performance Dinantronics Computer and DINAN Exhaust were added along with a custom X¬Pipe by RaceIQ with their downpipes and flash tune. Eric’s X5M sounds amazing idling and ferocious at full throttle.

Eric is one of the happiest people and a long time customer that is always happily attending various car events around Atlanta. If you see his Butlerized BMW X5M in the Atlanta area be sure to give him a shout!
