It took me about 3 weeks to sand this puppy down. I basically chipped away with the dremel then steel wool'd the thing for countless hours. I had to take the X5 completely apart, which is NOT easy.
Everything is very delicate and the plastic parts are attached to the metal ones on the front side. Sanding the back was very easy, but the front was extremely hard- lots of curves and plastic that will melt.
In the end, I'm happy with the result. Just wanted a brushed metal look, nothing pretty and shiny. Still have a little more work to do on it, but i'm done for now. Considering the amount of work, it was hardly worth the effort.
