That’s a great looking car, congrats. I’m disappointed to hear about the lack of sound, my M60i is due to be delivered in a couple weeks.

The green is a beautiful color - congrats.
Yea - half the reason for a V8 is the rumble…sounds non-existent now from the posts here.

In my ‘22 40, I had the MPerformance exhaust installed after about a year - and am loving it. Not sure if that will mean anything to any of the MY24’s, but a thought…

[SwissBeemer]

Is this your car? (€dit: Just realized that the brake calipers don't match. So there's 3 BRG 2024 X5 already?! There's another video of a BRG one too.)

By the way when did you order? Didn't know that even customer cars with individual colors were out already.

Thanks and agreed. Definitely will consider the MPE if offered, although I know that'll be a hefty price to pay for the sound you'd expect to come with a car like this.

Thanks! Fingers crossed it improves once the "break-in" restrictions end... Will report back.

Great eye, it is not! But I definitely watched that video 30 times before buying. While searching, I found three (appears to be four now) BRG X5 M60i across the country already. I wonder if there is any way to find out how many BRG X5s have been made so far? Would be sick if they were numbered...

I actually did not order it. Came across it while looking and it was set up exactly as I wanted (except would have upgraded the rims) and the wife loved the color so we went with it!

Love the color as well and the rims are the easiest part to upgrade. It's crazy you were able to scoop up a 2024 X5 in an individual color already without ordering it from factory. Europe is getting the very first regular ones delivered to dealers right now. Lucky guy.

BRG was one of three greens that it came down to when we ordered that we looked at at the BMW Welt in Munich:

British Racing Green
Oxford Green
Malachite Green

We ended up going with Malachite Green. I just love the golden shimmer it has in the sun but feel like you can't go wrong with any of those. There's actually someone from Belgium if I remember correct on here that ordered his 2024 X5 50e in Oxford Green and another guy from Torronto with an M60i in BRG as well so there's all 3 of them.

Weirdly enough the only "real" individual colors on the 2024 X5 I've heard from so far are those 3 greens and no other colors. Seems green is becoming popular? And it also seems like BRG was the first and only individual color production run for the 2024 X5 so far?!

Very interesting, makes me feel much better on the pick up especially considering the decent discount I was able to get!

I agree all three of the greens would look great on this car. Garage looks fun next to the YMB M3. I hope colorful cars become more popular again, especially for nicer cars. It's nice to break up the sea of black, white, and greys.

I was initially thinking about going Nardo Grey (actually came across one available at a dealership in Illinois - so there's at least one other color so far: See LINK to BMW of Bloomington) but definitely think the green is way more unique and "worthy" of the extra cost. I've been surprised by how much attention it's gotten so far. As only the biggest BMW enthusiasts are likely to pick up the LCI immediately, I have to assume it's the color. So far, I say it's worth the price!

I actually reached out to "BMW Individual" via email to see if they can provide any info on the number of X5s in BRG so far. Not sure if they'll be able to or willing to provide the info, but it would be interesting to know. Will report back once they respond.

Thanks for the info and very interesting color! Be sure to post some pictures when you pick it up!

Weird that I can't even find this color in the BMW Individual Visualizer.

Don't know the reason but only available using the UK individual website. Strange knowing that I've ordered mine in Luxembourg...

[BMWFazhaM60i]

I have the M60 and it sounds great after break in period and definitely in sport modes.

[BMWFazhaM60i]

Thanks ! I love it so far!

[BMWFazhaM60i]

Love the color Dravit it changes with different lighting.

[Hockeydad76]

I picked up my M60i yesterday, got 25 km from dealership and check engine light came on….. in the shop Monday

What's going on? First year for new engine and upgraded transmission and it's made by BMW - we are all beta testers (and I'm joining this club in 45 days).

I feel the same.
Why could we not order with sound from exhaust, or silent like they will be?
I want a V8 sound and have to buy a new exhaust every single time I buy a car.
So annoying.
The Jaguar F-Face SVR that I drove is exactly that sound.

[alexzd]

Any update from those who finished break in period? Did they notice difference?

I see one comment above that it became better, but what about others?

Will I be able to hear the V8.
I bought the V8 to hear and to be heard.

Will definately use this site to see how others have fixed this issue. BMW deposit need to give us an option to have sound.

Marina Bay Blue is by far the best looking color on an X5M in my opinion!

[Bimmerfun82]

Better gas mileage or about the same?
Noticeably quicker acceleration?
It is crazy the prices have jumped 20% in a few short years.

Well, good, because that’s the color I picked!

Seems like better gas mileage in my M60i (vs M50i). My range upon refill is >500 miles (was closer to 400). I'll have to do some more precise measuring, however.

Initial throttle response is a little different (quicker), but I don't think it's any faster. And it shouldn't be -- the engine output specs are pretty much identical to the prior engine.

At least on the M60i, pricing is not much higher than in previous years. The MSRP of my fully loaded model is <5% higher than my 2020 M50i. It's as apples/apples as I could get, but there is some content deletion/unavailability. Even adjusting for that, I'd say it's less than 10% higher -- 4 model years later...so way less than inflation. The bigger issue is less discounts/incentives and worse lease terms, so what you actually pay is likely more than 10% higher.

Regarding engine sound, I haven't noticed any change past the break-in period.
