This is actually shocking. I didn't order a 50i, (I ordered a 40i) but if they found metal shavings in my new $90K BMW, I wouldn't want a new engine. Rather, I'd cancel my order and get my next choice.

There are even some under mount electronic plates that can flip up or hide away. Those require drilling but in a much more inconspicuous area. |

Given the US m sport has the same exhaust as the x line, I suspect same sound? Still bummed only the v8 m sport has the m exhaust...

So I went to my local dealer to check out the new X5 and I must say they look better in person than in pics. With that said I'm 60% sure I'll be grabbing the 2020 or 21 X5M when it's released.

Thank you for posting the pictures. The xLine with the standard rims needs some serious help... I am glad I ordered the m-sport because the xLine without upgraded rims - sorry - just not my cup of tea.

Thanks for the thread Jay
Loving the new X5 the more I see of it and can't wait for it to hit these shores later in the year. Arctic grey looks lovely
