Are you going to tint front windows to match the rear? Would look sweet.

Illinois, opted for no front plate. And yes, those are the 20" 740M wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season RFTs.
Way early initial comments after only 30 miles of suburban and rush hour traffic:
1. Ride in Comfort mode is sublime. Perhaps it's the 20" wheels and comfortable sidewalls.
2. For better or worse, exhaust is barely noticeable.
3. First X5/BMW, so can't compare to earlier models. Size wise, feels as large as our Ford Explorer, but drive difference is dramatic. Takes up a lot of lane width. This is a big vehicle, but it drives like a dream.
4. Given comments 1 and 3 especially (since exhaust is an addressable issue), having a hard time rationalizing a high-performance variant, i.e. a real M-car version (X5M). I would appreciate a V8, but a anything much more just doesn't compute for me, coming from an AMG background.
