Correct. Since the 20's are the base wheel now for the M Sport, you have to go to the 21" or 22" wheels for the staggered set up

Ok - thanks,

Do you know if there is a wireless charger with the heated / cooled cupholders? Thanks Jay, exciting to see the shots!

Wireless charging is included with ZPP - premium package which is required for ZPX - executive package. Looks like different wireless charging layout if you don't order ZPX.

Why would the xLine have a M sport steering wheel?

So was the pic of the steering wheel not for the gray car? I think I got the pics confused

Could you PLEASE post a video of the exhaust sound from the 40i M-Sport!?! I’ve been dying to hear it!

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.

It was a continuation of the white xLine photos:

Are you in a state that doesn't require a front license plate? Here in VA it is required. Is there a better option than a plate bracket?

You can get a frame that attaches via the tow hook. No drilling or permanent attachment points needed.

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.

You will love the color! Has different shades to it depending on how you look at it. When it was on the truck and I was standing inside it looked like black

Thanks so much for the info!

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...

Exhaust videos. Cold start, warm start, different mode settings , etc

F85MTuNED · 10-13-2018, 01:28 PM

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.

Chio · 10-13-2018, 01:29 PM

It was nice love the m sport. It felt a lot bigger than the previous x5

That’s interesting, because I feel the pictures make it look smaller!

Many thanks. I have to admit that I'm very underwhelmed especially considering how Audi and Merc have implemented there digital dashes.

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.

MashinBenzin · 10-13-2018, 03:39 PM

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
