New to the G05 family

masab321 · 03-15-2024, 12:40 AM

I recently purchased CPO 2021 X5 40i.
39K miles. BSM over coffee extended merino leather.

M-sport pkg, Executive pkg, DAP, Parking Asst pkg, Luxury Seating and Harmon Kardon sound system.

This is going to be a family hauler and so far I am impressed with B-58 smooth power delivery and overall ride comfort even with 22” wheels.

Interior condition is perfect but the exterior paint does have imperfections: swirl marks most likely from frequent and automotic car washes by previous owner. I am thinking about getting it paint corrected and ceramic coating.

Congratulations and enjoy your ride!! I have a very similar build except for the color. I’ve owned it since new and it has been flawless.

masab321 Congrats. Beautiful X5. I've had many a black vehicle and unfortunately swirl marks come with the territory. Every one eventually started to show them. Find a "trusted" detailer and he/she may be able to remedy it. However, it'll never look like new.

This is my first black BMW. I always had white and greys in the past. I got all the options I wanted in this spec so no regrets. Setting up an appointment with a highly reputable detailing shop in my area for paint correction and ceramic coating.
