You seem really invested in convincing other people that you "totally prefer" your old car. Its fine if you like your old X5 more - no need to try to convince anybody.

I also like the E70's, but to a non-X5 person, it's no contest that the G05 blows it out of the water - as it should.

I can assure you that the video does it zero justice. However, comparing it to the M5 Competition is setting the bar a bit high. Two completely different animals.

Cold start:
Now if only we could find a good 40i with Sport exhaust sounds... mmmm

The M5 Comp sounds really good so I used that as an example. I think the V8 sounds good from that clip, the I6 pretty much sounds like my X3 M40i which is a good thing.

Skalberti, how early? Nice ride. I'm waiting on MW/Black Merino/leather dash/anthracite-brown poplar matte/22's? Do you have this trim as well? So difficult to get a feel for trim options. My week 48 seems like an eternity away. Is it too early to talk week 48?

We got the matte anthracite as well. It's perfect in person!

I initially ordered coffee but just changed it to black when I could still make a change. I was worried about the color, there are so many shades of "coffee." How does coffee look in person with that trim? Did I make a mistake?

Pic of the trim
Couldn't get a close up of the trim. They were programming the car and letting it sleep so I couldn't open the doors.

We had Mocha on our F15 and loved it. We've had this Q7 for 2 months and with everything black there's no contrast. The coffee is almost like a milk chocolate, with the matte trim we love it. For some reason phone pics tend to make the cognac and coffee appear orange or redder than what they are in person.

Thank you for the pics/thoughts! I ordered coffee and the fineline trim. Have been so curious to see the trim you ordered bc I'd much rather have matte than glossy. If you get the chance to share more pics in the coming days, that would be so appreciated!

Mine is week 52 since I opted for B&W. MW with tartufo M sport 21 50i. Thanks for sharing similar pics since I was not able to get a good interior pic prior to ordering.

Is it me, or are those 22" wheel sidewalls t -- h -- i -- n ? As nice as they might look, those wheels wouldn't survive a week of driving around Chicago.

Except perhaps for the steering. The G05 is supposed to be better than the F15 in that regard but its still EPS.

I sure hope you guys that got the 22's get the tire/wheel warranty through BMW or go directly to Discount Tire and sign up for their tire/wheel warranty. You have rubber bands for tires.

Lots of people acting salty on here about the 22's. Isn't this a BMW forum? Have y'all never driven a performance vehicle with low pro's??? It's like y'all all drive big trucks with monster tires and have never seen low pro's before.

Chillllllllllll it'll be ok

Congrats to the guys with the 22's they look bad ass!

I couldn't resist the look of the 22's. It helps that I don't have a ton of potholes on my daily.

Window Tinting Restrictions in Illinois

If I lived in a much sunnier locale where there was more practicality to tinting the front, I might risk violating the law that limits the tinting of glazing through which the driver looks.
Here is a link providing more info on window tinting restrictions in Illinois:

The smallest wheel you can get now is 20" with the M Sport, but before you say the 22" tires look like rubber bands, look at the stats. There's just a 1/2" difference in sidewall height between a 20" tire and 22" tire.

There is a mistake with this data - tire size for 20'' is 305/40/20 not 315/35/20.
