I have a similar build.

A very idiosyncratic critique:

* I love black sapphire, but I also love carbon black, with a general black appearance, but in some lighting, a very deep navy blue. It's a unique color and you can only get it with M-Sport.

* Interior trim, consider the black fine line (again, only available with M-sport). The gray-ish lines really pop whereas the open pore, despite being 3D, is kind of flat.

* For me, the Merino Leather package is a let down, so I'd recommend you look at a car with it. For most, Sensafin is just fine -- go look at it in person. But for $2k, Merino is barely noticeable in the X5. I had Merino on my 45e, and I now have Sensafin in the 50e, mainly because of the Silverstone color. I do not miss the Merino one bit.

Overall, though, very nice build!
