I have the same 22s and Arctic Grey - painted the grill black (a must). You do have to keep it very clean though as otherwise it looks purple when flat. Couldn't resist taking the below pic. Big brother, little brother.

I'd love to have it, and eventually we'll be able to code it, but AFAIK it's not enabled on my car....

Received my car today, very happy. A bit bits here and there, faint marks etc, and the washing crew didn't do a fantastic job TBH -- but apparently they are paid £3.5 per /car/ by Sytner!
They installed the front+rear dashcams and it's "ok" a bit fidly but we managed to get them working. I knew quite a bit more about the car than the CA, but he completely acknowledge that he just can't keep up with /everything/ and assume that 'knowledgeable' buyers will know more at the pickup date. One thing which annoys me a bit is that the car runs 04 software, not 07, altho I specifically asked for it. He said (true) the car doesn't show any update available -- but we all know the update IS available. Irritating. Also, can't seem to operate the Connected Drive App surround view -- tells me I need to enable it in the car, but it IS enabled in the car, to no effect. Other than that, pleasure to drive, fantastically quiet, ambiant light is excellent -- I'm going to have to tape up the dashcam LEDs tho, as it's really annoying at night. As everyone elses car is, it's "Artic Boring Grey" and there's definitely some hints of blue in it, as shown in this pic taken at sundown... Really happy NOT to have selected Shadowline tho, the mat Alu surround makes it a hell of a lot classier!

I picked up my X5 a few weeks ago. For about the first two weeks, the Connected App surround-view didn't work; it just got a failure when I tried it. Then, suddenly, earlier this week, it started working. As far as I know, I didn't do anything to get it working. My software level is 2019/7.35

Picked mine up yesterday from Sytner Newport. X30d M Sport plus package, tech pack. Loving it so far. Impressed with the exhaust note. A couple of gremlins - charging cradle doesn't work. Lots to learn in using the tech!

As far as using such a large car in london, I'd take the 45e you might stay on the electric motor all day!

I did manage to get the surround view working in the end; I just had to login to CD /from the car/ THEN go to accept the checkbox for data service.
It's not terribly reliable tho, it tells me the doors are open (they are not). But at least all my settings are now saved in the CD profile...

The Connected app doesn't connect with the car itself, it connects with the BMW servers, where ever they are, which connects with the car. So sometimes there is a bit of a delay between the state the car is in and the state the app is in. |

The Connected Drive app is generally hopeless - with my G30, it progressively got fewer features that worked correctly. It didn't say the windows and door were open or closed...just that they were unavailable!

Picked up my X5 m-sport 30D a few weeks ago and loving it! Carbon Black, msport package, sky lounge roof and the tech pack. We got a good discount because we took it as a 19 and one of the dealers pre-orders, so wasn't 100% our spec, but pretty close!
Which leads to a question. We keep discovering little things that were extras on a G30 that we now seem to have, but which aren't shown on our spec sheet - adaptive cruise control, being able to connect two phones, etc. Is there a comprehensive list anywhere that shows everything the car has...? I couldn't spot it on the website, and the configurator shows your options, not what is included by default. |

I like how you've gone straight to private plate. I had issues with feint marks on the whole body which they're taking in on the 2nd of October to rectify, they initially wanted to sell me the autoglym treatment to resolve it. The cheek of it, pay extra to fix the scratches they've put on a new car. No thanks, polish them all out and then I'll get the car ceramic coated. Nice colour that and does make a difference from all the grey ones

Dealer visit
Gents,
Loving the reading up on the X5 chat.... I have a visit scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday) morning to potentially do a deal on an X5 30d with tech pack...... they seem to have tech pack and m sport plus pack. What else is a must? This will fall in line with their 2.9% apr which makes a huge difference to the monthly cost. I have also been offered 15% discount overall on the one I choose from in the group stock...... But my question is, what extras can I ask for in terms of discount or throwing items in???? How far can i push this?? Could I get 18% discount maybe?? Should I ask them to throw in a as black grill?? The one I test drove had acoustic glazing. You guys got that??? If not , Is yours quiet on the motorway?? Thank you to all in advance Yans. |

Most of my driving is Motorway and the insulation is amazing, you still slightly hear the pitter patter from the run flats, but that's only if there's no music or radio on

Same here, got about 18% on mine, plus a very generous price on my X3 (which was in very good nick). Plus a few bits and pieces so overall very happy.
Load up the car. Make sure you got tech pack, comfort pack -the seats are incredible- didn't care that much for M-sport-plus myself, the 22" will /definitely/ make a difference to noise in the cabin, the one we tried was quite noisy. Ours on 20" and the car is incredibly silent, in fact a few times yesterday I felt I was watching a movie with the sound off, it's that silent! Also try to get High-beam assist -- not necessarily the Lasers, but the Matrix ones; that's what I have and night driving is incredible.
