I don’t get the crystal shifter, I’ll never understand the crystal shifter. The best quote I’ve ever read was somewhere along the lines of “BMW told us it was real crystal, whatever the F that means.”

I heard it might be Swarovski crystal, and the volume knob also has crystal in it. But the main reason for me is that it would be really boring getting this brand new SUV without the newest tech in it. And it's a part you always touch.

Apparently it lights up/glows matching the ambient lighting color you have set which would be "pretty" at night for the wives.

It was more important to my wife than the damn motor!

It was almost a deal breaker for me. I'm lucky I got it. It's not a lot of money for this option, so I just rather have it than not.

I saw the crystal and the regular one side by side at the dealership option tray and I would get the crystal not because I like crystal but because they made the normal one too simple and without any metal trims unlike the old sport shifter which was quite nice.

I was told it's real crystal but not Swarovski crystal. What that means it's not plexiglass or polycarbonate and basically that means it's impossible to scratch with anything except diamonds.

+1
I also think the crystal parts look better, especially the idrive controller (the non-crystal version is just an ugly plastic cap)

The crystal is brutal in sunlight. Lots of bad reflections. Also when i see it I somehow think "mother-in-law"

There is no such thing as a real photo of carbon black. You just have to see it in person. It's diff every angle and light. It's def got a lot of blue

You mean the Crystal gear shift + iDrive controller / volume knob? The light can reflect in off ways at times but it brings the interior together and certainly feels upscale compared to the standard plastic one.

Long time lurker, finally received my G05 X5 M50d in carbon black. I need a better camera and photos really don't do it justice...

When I talked to service manager she stated many complaints about the sunlight shining off the crystal knob. They will change it back for free from my understanding.

Here is Carbon Black in different lighting. It’s constantly changing hue from black to blue to purple.
