Thumbs up 50i M-Sport pictorial of Carbon Black and Merino Ivory white.

The sun kinda came out for a few hours so I took my big camera out and took some pics. I know pics gave me comfort for my wait so I am returning the favor.

Specs: 50i M-Sport in Carbon Black, Extended Merino Ivory white, Piano wood.

Ok - first, great photography. Nice quality pictures.

Second, elephant in the room. What are your lead considerations for a new plate?

Just a stunning group of photos. Thanks so much. That Ivory Merino with piping really looks nice. Your photos are by far the best I've seen to show off how they really look. Thanks!

I absolutely love the look of Ivory Merino, but the maintenance scares me.

Great pictures. Now I am glad I have changed the color from mineral white to carbon black (due to my neighbours white car).
I have a question regarding the tires. I can see that you have 20’ 275/45 r20 front and rear. I thought that rear tires are wider on Msports wheels you have?

Wow. That combination looks awesome! The only other combination I see frequently with Ivory is blue, but think it looks so much better with Carbon Black.

Great pictures - Congratulations!

It's the standard 20" wheels in the M Sport package. 20" are a square set up front and rear. Optional 21", 22" are staggered with wider rear.

Beat me to it. Only the 20” M-Sport wheels are suitable for 4 season use and I dont want to be wheel swapping in the winter. On the plus side, the performance is still uncompromised. One of our members with a full tank of gas still did a 4.3 second 0-60mph on his M-Sport 20” wheels. I want to start a sticky of what the factory wheels weigh in 20”,21”,22”.

Ha! I had the exact same thought as you; forget the watch, I didn’t even receive a lousy keychain!

Thanks you. I reported my journey on a previous thread but as a recap: We worked hard for a month together finding my 50i. The ordering codes were a nightmare and even most dealers couldn’t get a perfect order together. I was very picky and it was a emotional roller coaster. We both are car guys and he appreciated me helping the team so much and it was advantageous I get involved to assure I get what I want. We basically searched the entire country. No distance was off the table to go get one. Turns out the 50i M-Sport is only 3% of the X5 dealer stock of the entire country. Out of those 3%, the ordering errors were unbelievable. Errors like no adaptive cruise on a $96k optioned 50i?? Or no M brakes on a $98k vehicle?? Long story short, if you are after a 50i option perfectly, ride your build out unless you are ready for a frustrating search. You will have much easier time for a 40i but that doesn’t mean the dealer will give up a high optioned one on a dealer trade. The M-watch, M hat, t-shirts, and other swag were a thank you for being so patient and volunteering your own valuable time. I will be buying from them again. I would think at this level of vehicle and price point all dealers would give you the BMW leather flip key case.

They let me run around for a day in this clean preowned i8 while we searched for my vehicle. I have my eye on a M850 in the showroom. Being a long time Porsche guy, they want to convert all my rides over to BMW.

Too much time. I would have thought 60 days searching would have been plenty. Now I know. I have never had a problem before getting exactly what I wanted with Audi or Porsche 911’s. The BMW eventually came through but took more time. New vehicle 50i build times now are sketchy at best. My dealer is snatching 50i’s up from other dealers as the factory is retooling for another vehicle and it will only make X5 order times even longer. This dealer trades all over the east coast and has a heck of a top tier inventory in the showroom. Who would have thought a 50i M-Sport was harder to order right than a M850, M5, etc....?

its all about Supply and demand. x5 got a very high demand. Hence why its harder to find on what you want. 850 or m5 not as much and specially winter time in north east.
