I closed my wheel gap a bit by changing the tires to 21/295/40 and 22/315/35, same Pirelli P Zeros. Obviously this has other effects as well such as a bit of a smoother ride at the expense of a bit less road feel offset by less blowout anxiety with NY potholes.

Glenn, could you please post a picture after the tire change? Thanks in advance.

Sure...please excuse the dirty wheels. There is still a decent size gap...

Here is my X3MC after Xpel Stealth/Ceramic, one inch drop using MSS Urban springs and with Vossen forged wheels (work in progress). I think I will do the same thing with my future X5M.

Damn, that looks great. Nice wheels.

I’ve never done any mods to any cars I’ve owned, but lowering my F95 is going to happen...when I actually take delivery of the car and the springs become available.

Thanks. Just be careful when choosing lowering springs. Some of them make the ride too firm and very bouncy. With X3M, MSS adjustable springs proved to be by far the best option.

Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve done some research on MSS and it seems their customers are very happy with the ride.

All builds I have see all have the have the same black merino interior, including the F96. Looking to see a picture of the beige/black interior as I'm leaning towards that interior with MBB F95 comp when I place my order in a few months.

Yes the gap looks a bit better. The 4x4 look is horrendous on the X5.

love it, this was the color I wanted and my dealer got their HEA car just like yours. I assume you grabbed it off the lot as well (since the two colors of the HEA cars seem to be black with sakhir and marina bay blue with black). Made a deal on it yesterday and will pick up tomorrow to add to the stable. Appreciate your pictures and posts.

exactly, got the same car yesterday. There are only HEA cars right now and very few special orders. The factory shut down for a while and I think they are now just starting to build the special order cars.

Congratulations on your new purchase. You’ve already got some nice ones in the garage, so it will be interesting to hear what you think of it with some time behind the wheel.

Separately, what is “full ALP radar”? Is that a built-in system similar to the old K40s?

Yes the Anti Laser Priority laser jamming and integrated front rear radar. Will post a group pic of all the cars but here is us picking it up. My oldest and my CA
