I’m replacing my 2018 540xi with an x5 40msport. Good stuff!

Updated today, production completed and awaiting carrier assignment!

Car is now at the dealer! Unfortunately my work schedule this week might make it hard for me to get it during the week and I might need to wait until Saturday to pick it up. So a little more than 6 weeks from order to delivery.

Picked it up on Saturday. Loving it so far, really pleased with the color combo.

Weather around here has been pretty blah, so the pictures aren't as colorful.

Beautiful car...awesome color combo, too!!!

I really like the coffee merino. I've had two cars with mocha which was darker, so was looking for something a little brighter this time.

Probably won't be able to get good pics for a week at least with the weather we are having in the northeast. Heavy fog on delivery day, rain today, snow Wednesday. Perfect timing to switch from a sedan to SUV though!

SWEET RIDE! Love the color combo. I’m surprised to see the glass gear shift. Did you order it separately?

My X5 M50i is waiting for me in Spartanburg. I pick it up on 1/19/21. Can’t get here sooner.

WOW. How can you possibly wait a month to pick up a new vehicle that is built and just sitting around collecting scratches, dings, etc?

I love the glass controls, really classes up the cabin. I know some don't like the look of it, but I love it.

I agree. When I first saw the glass controls on the all new 2019 X5, I didn't care for it. But then I saw the cheap black plastic standard shifter and I quickly changed my mind. That thing belongs in some old Chevy.

My wife, and it seems like quite a few other women, thinks the glass makes the cabin look cheap/gaudy. In spite of that I will be getting it in our next one.
