You might consider getting your wheels and brake calipers ceramic coated.

When I had my X5 ceramic coated, I opted to have the shop perform all wheels-off-vehicle cleaning and brake cleaning (nice shinny disc hubs) followed by ceramic coating applied to the entire wheel, wheel barrels, and M Sport brakes and calipers. It was a $396 addition ($99 per wheel) but makes weekly wheel cleaning and touch ups easy.

Don't mind the jacked up look - air suspension was turned off.

Looking forward to seeing some pix of your new X5.
Cheers,

Helpful tip and thanks for the price breakdown!

Thanks! I guess I managed to just slightly slip ahead of you in taking delivery, given shorter distance mine had to travel. Hopefully yours is getting close to your dealer by now.

I'll definitely post some pics!

I would still take the blue brakes over red ones, especially with a white exterior color.

Will just look better, IMO.

Agree. Even if we had had the choice on our MY2020, I think we would have gone blue.

I don't think these pics really do it justice, but I'm a big fan of this poplar matte wood trim. I think the interior combo of black extended Merino, leather dash, anthracite alcantara headliner and this matte wood trim really came out nicely. But I guess I should like it, I picked it out, right?

I own the same trim. Pictures don't do justice!

The grayish trim gives the interior a sporty yet luxurious feel.

Here is mine.

Nice ride! Get a detail shop to run a double black pinstripe along the side creases. It really dresses it up!

It seems that those of us who live in the Northern California area have a few additional challenges. Here's the thread on what appears to be causing delays for "In Transit" and "At the Dealership" status:
