Just picked up my new 45e at the factory.

carmstrong07 · 06-09-2021, 01:28 PM

I had an amazing experience with my dad at the performance center this week - picked up my new X5 45e. Could not be happier with the experience or the vehicle.

Great early Father's Day experience for my dad and so much fun for me (including spinning into the grass on the wet course).

Beautiful car and color combo. That Anthracite really pops against the Beige. Thanks for the pics!

misterbc · 09-03-2021, 08:12 AM

Looks awesome. Mine is in production and is very similar! You’ve helped me confirm the poplar was the correct decision!
