First of all thanks to Scott at Insight Auto for getting me an unbelievable deal on my wife's 2026 X5. She was set on Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic and if we hadn't ordered it when Scott suggested she wouldn't have gotten it, as they discontinued the color a week after ours was built. I had never used a broker before and it was well worth it.

Second, I can't say enough about the folks at the Performance Center. They bend over backwards to make your day one you will remember forever. The entire program was professionally executed and everyone was so accommodating. My arms were sore after muscling that X5M through the cones several times and it was great fun. Hi Seth!

Third, about BMW and the car. I recently bought a 2025 Ford Ranger and after taking delivery of the X5 and I can see where the extra money went in the building of this SUV. After having 3 previous BMW's but spending the last 7 years in a Grand Cherokee we had forgotten about the BMW fit, finish, ride and handling. The car is incredible and everything was exactly as ordered.

Fourth, thank you to the guys at Extreme Auto Spa for doing a great job on the window tint and PPF on the bumper, hood, headlights and mirrors. I haven't dealt with PPF in many years and it has really come a long way, but having the right installer is so important and Sheldon and the boys got it right. They also catered to my OCD in every way possible without a hesitation.

Congrats on the car! loved my PCD experience. I wanted to do it again for my z4 but was unable to for scheduling reasons but I was able to do the new owner test drive that they offer. That one gives you much more dedicated time just driving around the autocross track, its a blast to do and Palm Springs is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely something to keep in mind for your next BMW!
