Is that arctic or sophisto grau?
I'd say its Arctic Grey. Sophisto grey is not offered on the X5.
Yes it is but not om m sport only on x line or base line. Peter has one. It's called dark graphite in the US.

Thanks for the fotos. Looks really nice. The painted wheel arches made me chose m pack over x line. I prefer the x line exhaust pipes and really like your 20 inch wheels. Might have gone for the x line if they would have offered me the option to do that.

I personally prefer satin sliver around the window but I was able to configure that on m sport.

The black piece onder the rear bumper really looks better to than in sliver.

Ps just out of curiosity looks like a lot of work. Why didn't you go for an m pack?

When compared to each other visually, the msport looks so much nicer especially from the back. The reflectors on the rear bumper on the xline are placed lower and are in fact around 2 inches longer. They also emphasize the plastic black bumper which looks really cheap in my opinion.

Here are the pics i took.
Sorry to revive this. But 19 inch vs 21. Shouldn't the one with 21s sit higher ? Why they look same tall ?
Bigger wheels have lower profile tires. So same overall diameter (wheel + tire).

Looks great. I assume that renders the roof rails unusable, or can they withstand cross bars? Unless you leave the crossbars on the entire time I guess.

Is it a wrap or a tint?

I do indeed, only available on x-line and or base as stated above. Really loving the color!

I think it is kinda weird that it is not available on M-sport.

That's a very good question. I originally liked the silver trim around the windows more than the black, so I ordered the x-line, but then I saw an M-Sport on the road and realized I should have ordered the M Sport, but at that point it was too late to change my order. I like the X5 so much that I am sure I will order another one in 2-3 years (unless my condo gets electric chargers) and I will for sure get the M Sport package the next time around.

I think the thing that I dislike the most about the x-line is the plastic cladding. I never noticed it until I owned one. but I notice that BMW puts a lot of black plastic on all their x models. It looks cheap IMO so I learned my lesson, order the M sport package.
