There are plenty sitting on SoCal dealer lots right now.

If you're not getting 8-10 percent off sticker, you're paying too much.

Also kinda odd to judge a car that doesn't even exist yet. lol And this whole best of gen... X5s ain't no Porsche 911. Newer is better for mass produced commuter cars imho.

Enjoy! I think I have the same exact build as yours.

Best of gen, meaning they've worked out most if not all the issues over the years by the time they got to this point.

After putting in some work, I found a semi-local dealership that had an allocation available for an X5 M. Here are the specs:


Black Sapphire Metallic
21/22" M Star-Spoke Black 818M Wheels with Staggered Performance Tires
Black Full Merino Leather
Carbon Fiber trim
Driving Assistance Professional Package
Executive Package
M Compound Brakes with Red Calipers
Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System


The build is scheduled for June, so this is probably one of the last that will be rolling off of the assembly line or as I like to think, the absoute best of its generation. The dealership is providing a nice discount as well, one of the highest out of the 5 or so dealerships I've spoken with. As mentioned in my initial post, my primary driver was the current drive train and styling. I've been researching the next generation model and it just doesn't grab me like this one does. I've also never owned a V8 powered vehicle of any kind and my G80 M3, which the X5 will be joining in the garage, is the most powerful vehicle I've ever owned. So the wait begins...
