  • Inovation Pack
  • 22" 742M Rims
  • Shadow Line Black elements

Nice configuration. Congrats.

I have fineline stripe too. Happy with it. I considered the matt wooden finish but didn't do it. Maybe with coffee you could consider Piano black (had it easy scratches and greasy fingers) or the new black one with inserts.

For what it’s worth, I drove one with coffee leather and fineline stripe at my dealer yesterday, thought it matched nicely (seems to be chosen a lot together)

No I didn't unfortunately, but if you search for "X5 2019 review" or "X5 2020 review" on youtube; a lot of the versions for the press had that coffee leather/fineline stripe combo as well.

I have fineline but with black Merino. I had coffee nappa with dark woord inlays a couple of years ago in a 5 series. It looked really good. Coffee is quite dark. It looks lighter in pictures than real life.

Congrats ! I have also the coffee/black and Fineline stripe brown.
I'm very happy with it. You think it is darker but its ok.
The waiting is indeed long but it's worth it.

After 8 months the waiting is almost over.
Pick up scheduled in t-48h

My VIN was flagged for the PHEV recall action, but after testing is seemed to be all OK. Fingers crossed

Some pics attached...

Nice ! Good luck on the final wait.

Good that your battery was ok. Would have been some weeks extra.

Have fun with the first drive.

Very nice. Enjoy the first drive. Your dealer made a lot of more work on your delivery. Mine was just there without any special things at 18h45 and they wanted me out as soon as possible. I got a free M keychain.

Maybe I should buy my next one there? I live in eastern part of East Flanders.

I always go to Vandeperre in Sint Pieters Leeuw, always very friendly and helpful.
Last year they were taken over by the Louyet goup. Until now, still the same service as before. Instead of a keychain I got 2 bottles of home brewed beer by the owner
