Hope all goes well with the production/delivery/ownership experience.
Thanks GSG5, I currently drive an F85 in Donington Grey. I rarely ever see another X5M on the road in Fort Worth. I love the Marina Bay Blue with that interior. I'm an Aggie and have two kids there now. I can't wait to pull up to the Aggie hotel across from the stadium in my (basically) fancy red metallic flake maroon X5M. They love my Donny but are gonna freak with the Ametrin. Good luck with your build too.

You just mentioned two kids, and I have two boys and thinking adding rear seat entertainment.

I only have one more day before is looked out and can't do any more changes.

Also thinking changing interior to black

Miko M, If your kids are young and you are gonna travel in the F96, maybe the rear entertainment makes sense. With today's iPads and even iPhones, I think this is much less necessary than it used to be. I personally like the combo black and tan interior a lot. I also like the Sakhir Orange interior a lot. Not sure it's gonna go well with Ametrin--would either be killer or horrible. lol.

I'm struggling with the wheel choices...right now I have the standard 818Ms selected.

PS: you can never go wrong with solid black leather though.

Just to throw in my unsolicited opinion, I don’t love either wheel choice...wish I did. I do like the 809s a bit more though, so I’m going that direction. I’ve considered some after market replacements but options in this size are limited and I think it makes good sense to live with these for a while and see if I like them better in person.

Mike - for what it’s worth, I would be going black if I didn’t have in my last 3 cars. I needed a change. I doubt you’ll regret it either way though.

Thanks, mine kids are 10 & 12 so they loved it on mine previous X6M

I do plane at least 2-3 trips a year which is not much but I am sure they will enjoy it and that's all it matters.

So I just added this to mine option list before it's to late.

I will keep the interior because I love it on mine X3M

Rear seat entertainment is cool, I have 2 kids and I am sure they would love to have it.
I see you had night vision on previous X6M and Will have on new one too. That is cool to have if you live outside town like me.... I hit the deer 3 times already

Tell me about it, where I live is a must have Option!!!

I made this couple years ago and you can definitely see it on screen but not outside

One picture is taken from dash, which you can't see the deer or the person, another one is from the screen

Yeah, it's from the dealer.
Is your SA not giving you production info?
They should also give you start of production date.

Car arrived at the dealership but I am considering let it go because of current situation.

Work is dead slow and I don't know if I should risk and take it home.
I have this weekend to decide

My friend, if it is ever a risk, wait for another day to keep the stress away. Stress is not worth it.

You are absolutely right, I did say no this time just to be on safe side.

It was very hard, but It's the best thing for now.
