Had her a month now and 700 miles driven to date. Love it

We test drove one yesterday. Nice car but I was amazed as to how little legroom there is for back seat passengers especially considering the car has been lengthened.

Any problems so far? The salesman was a bit embarrased when the car's "hold" button didn't engage after numerous tries. The car kept on rolling down.

Also, I did a voice recognition for a nearby Sam's Club and the infotainment gal never got it right.

Comments please as I'm negociating with the Sales Director as I write.

Thanks

I find the voice recognition the best so far of any car I have had and actually works well enough to be useful which has never occurred in any previous cars. Requested guidance to many locations and it has understood and found them all first time for me.

Here is mine

- 40i with M sport exhaust.

Glad to hear this, thanks!

Nice ride BigCactus.

I just emailed my final offer on a build to our sales director. Wish me luck.

Your car is stunning. I'm getting the same trim, color, and wheels so I'm pretty excited about how its going to turn out. I have to wait another 45 days and I'm sure its going to kill me.

In looking at your photo, I noticed there is black trim on the side of the of the rear window. I think that black trim looks great. I just never noticed it before. Did the previous X5 have black trim there or was it body paint color?

Ok feel bad as I have had the car 2 days and have not taken a decent picture, rained like hell the first day, was busy today and needs washed, but here are some poor quality in the garage pics to start. Phytonic M-Sport, Ivory extended leather with Anthracite Brown Poplar Matte trim.

Aooooo! Been holding off on calling you out about pics due to the bad weather. Looking good!!! The more I see Ivory with the piping, the more I wish I had gone that way. Rims and M-Sport brakes look really well matched to the exterior color. Congrats!!

Yes, pretty happy with that, saw the trim live at the dealer before they built the car, i like that it is much more grey than brown and it really looks like real wood unlike the matte trim in the f15, hopefully won't show the scratches like the glossy stuff on did as my wife is not exactly careful dragging stuff over the console.

Thanks, meant to pull it out today and get some nice pics in the sun, but time got away from me, was chasing the dealer around trying to get the registration done as my insurance wouldn't do the RMV-1 because the dealer scanned it not straight and it cutoff some of it and finally had to do it myself to get it done so I could get an inspection sticker. Will take some improved pictures tomorrow hopefully - I have a Montego blue E93 that is very similar in color, would like a picture of them together.

I have chosen that trim with black leather. That is a really nice trim. not a fan of glossy stuff haha.

That sits low. Is that the air suspension all the way down or is that how it looks normally?

This must be Black Sapphire; looks great.

Like G05 looks in dark colors as it hides the bulk of the back better.
