2024 X5 LCI in Nardo Gray Individual and M Performance Parts

junx · 03-29-2023, 10:12 PM

Now this is pod racing!

Another testament to the longevity of X5 design. Great car ... and extra carbon fiber is always welcome.

I agree that Nardo gray is a superb color. Looks nice in almost all regards. Simply wish that lower middle section of the front bumper was a touch less busy. Holy moly that's a lot of CF bits to get chipped up after years on these US roads. LOL

Flying Ace · 03-29-2023, 11:42 PM

Those wheels would look so much better if they spokes were the same color

cigaro · 03-29-2023, 11:45 PM

Man, I hate these wheels. Beautiful car though.

Meh....I think it looks like the X3 (and I wouldn't want to spend $100k to be confused with a X3).

It just looks less aggressive from the front than the pre-LCI.

The LCI tail lights will fit the pre-LCI. Looks to be the same size and housing, plus the rear as well as the tail gate hasn't changed. You will have to do some coding though since there is some animation for the LCI lights.

The X5 is the best vehicle in its class.

The carbon pieces on this thing are awesome, but not sure about the wing though...

Germanauto · 03-30-2023, 01:28 AM

Disagree with some of the others here. Nardo is the only tolerable grey in my opinion. It's interesting and sporty. Every other hue of grey is just drab and forgettable.

T_N_C · 03-30-2023, 04:05 AM

M performance cars are starting to look better than their M counter parts. More subtle and less forceful styling.

Strongly disagree here. The pre-LCI M-Sport bumper looks half assed aggressive and in between X-Line and what M-Sport should look like in my opinion. New M-Sport looks much more aggressive. That being said the nee M Comp just looks miles better than anything.

That would look something like this, which looks ridiculous IMO. Its like a clown grinning:

Nice looking vehicle. I do agree the line below the grill needs to be body color. And a luxury SUV certainly doesn't need that spoiler.

With all the disgusting trends from BMW recently, this is refreshing. Although the cheap ipad for a dash is still disgusting.

The lack of color choices has been infuriating and space grey is a perfect "medium grey" type choice that should have been available with the X5 G05 from the start.

I do think that the new Skyscraper grey is very very close to it though for the 2024+ G05.

Also, I vote Lime Rock Grey over Nardo, yet another color BMW should have made available for like $1,995.

I agree that Lime Rock looks better than Nardo. It's a richer color in comparison. Of course it is a taste issue. To me, they shouldn't have messed with space gray and offered it in all series as a classic color option like Mercedes does with silver, selenite and obsidian. I choose Selenite no matter what MB I get.

I agree that Nardo is a better choice between the two.
And I was thinking "dust-covered" for Dravit. It sure is not as good looking as space gray and not as easy to keep clean either.

That looks great! How did you get the flared metal wheel well inserts vs plastic? What dealer painted that ugly M scoop? Cannot wait to hear!! Thx!

^^

While Nardo looks nice, the thought of paying individual pricing for it when every single car company has an enamel gray would be a tough choice for me.

apw2607 · 03-31-2023, 11:45 PM

Yikes. Color is blah and those ratty plastic parts make it look even worse.

I wondered about this sticker. Is it just for show on this display vehicle or will be in the final product?
Think will not be in final product I hope.
