2024 X5 M60i in Java Green
Now that I got my X5 back from the detailer I figured it was time to create a proper thread and post some photos.
Some on here might remember my 2022 M3 Competition done in Twilight Purple. Absolutely loved that car and it was a blast for the nearly two years of ownership. However, back in August of this year I decided it was time for something different and started looking at the X5. This time around I was wanting something slightly less on the sport side of things and wanted something more on the luxury side of the spectrum but still with some good get up and go for the daily commute. I landed on ordering a 2024 X5 M60i. When I spec'd it out originally I had opted for Skyscraper Grey over Tartufo extended merino leather but a few days after the order was accepted and allocated I emailed my CA and said I wanted to switch over to an individual color. While Skyscraper is a great color, I just couldn't bear the thought of going from something so dynamic as Twilight Purple to being another grey SUV on the road. With the switch over to Java Green, my build was delayed by about 9 weeks in order for it to get scheduled for production. Apparently they batch the individual colors together in Spartanburg and have less batches throughout the year. When I did Twilight Purple on the M3 it only pushed my order back by about 4 weeks. Below is the timeline of my order for those interested in what it might look like for an individual color on an X5: 8/22/23: Build submitted to CA 8/25/23: Obtained allocation and production number 8/29/23: Scheduled for production 8/30/23: Requested switch to individual color 8/31/23: Individual color approved and back to a status of 102 9/18/23: Order accepted with a production week 49 10/26/23: Scheduled for production 11/21/23: Production begins 12/7/23: Exterior body assembly begins 12/7/23: In the paint booth 12/7/23: Entering assembly line 12/8/23: Assembly in progress 12/8/23: Quality check 12/8/23: Final assembly 12/8/23: Ready for transport 12/8/23: Awaiting carrier assignment 12/12/23: Dispatched from factory 12/14/23: Arrived at dealership 12/15/23: Took delivery The specs for my build are as follows:
My "mods" to date are all minor and cosmetic only. As usual, a big shoutout to Ryan over at IND-Distribution for helping to get all the items together!
While it is nice to have a BMW with a V8, the sound is definitely lacking so perhaps that will be one of my mods later on down the line once more options start to roll out for the M60i's. From the detailer aspect, I opted for using Hyer Quality Detail over in Tempe, Arizona. They did a fantastic job and would highly recommend them to anyone in the Phoenix metro area. I went with the following from them:
My first impressions so far after just over two weeks over ownership:
And now on to the photos! Photos were taken with either my iPhone 15 Pro Max or my Sony A7 III.

Fantastic build and an excellent color choice!
A year ago I sold my 2018 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in Mojito which is similar to your Java, although I think the Java is even better. Best color of a car I’ve ever owned. I still miss it. I did go with the Skyscraper but I’m jealous every time I see pix of yours on the board. |

Went out and took a few more photos this afternoon. Had every single intention to also take some photos and videos with my drone...but left the controller sitting on the charger at home!

Any interior photos, especially with the contrast between the interior and exterior? Is the upper doors also leather since you speced full leather dashboard? I considered Java Green for my MBB X5 M60, as my current X5M is also MBB, but don’t want to deal with individual wait and glad I didn’t with the rumored V8 shortage.
How is the drop off driving from the M3 to M60? I know it’s a tough comparison sedan vs SUV.

The upper doors feel like leather and have the same stitching in them as the dash. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The color bumped my order back by 9 weeks, was a brutal wait! Really can’t compare this to the M3 as they are so different plus I still haven’t passed 1,200 miles on the X5 so have truly opened it up just yet. I will say that I’m truly enjoying being back in an SUV though and it rides so smoothly with the air suspension. I’m sure I’ll be back to a sedan for my next vehicle though as I always seem to flip back and forth when I get a new vehicle. When I have a car I end up missing the high ride height of an SUV and then after a while with the SUV I always have the desire to get back to a smaller/faster vehicle. Maybe one of these days I’ll find a vehicle that keeps my interest longer than 3 years! Although I’ve already begun thinking about how I’ll be able to make a move to an M5 Touring… Quote:
I swear, I don’t think I’ll ever not order an individual color again on a BMW. The extra wait time is brutal but it’s a lot of fun having a more unique color and so far the two metallic individual paints I’ve done are so dynamic that it makes the wait and cost worth it.

Also and maybe you already mentioned it but did you get the adaptive M suspension professional? Is it worth the $2200?

If I’m not mistaken, the adaptive M suspension professional cannot be optioned in conjunction with the air suspension. It is an either or option.
