Canadian X5 Packaging / Massage seats
Hi,
Will be looking to place an order in the next month or so. 1) Was wondering if anyone has the massage seats (if so, is it worth it?) 2) For Canadian packaging. Is it worth the extra premium to from the Premium enhanced to the Premium Excellence package for $7500 more? I am aware that the Excellence includes more features like glass application, sky lounge, extended merino leather, advanced driving package, ventilated seats, massage seats etc. Also know that if I did do the enhance package...I can add the advanced driving package for $2000 and some of the mentioned features a la carte. Obviously don't need all the features but can add up fast. 3) What type of discount did you get from Canadian dealers? Thanks! |

Is it worth it? Well.... I really think you have to try it for yourself to make that decision. I personally am on the fence on if it's worth the price or not, but I do use it frequently now that I have it. Just don't expect some incredible spa feeling. |

Agree with the previous post, you really need to try for yourself. I have them, and am a bit on the fence as to whether I'd order again. That said, I have finally found a setting that seems to help on longer trips.
As for packages, I stopped with the enhanced. The excellence is a good chunk more and none of it was really important to me. I thought enhanced with a couple of individual options was the sweet spot. My discount was around 4%, though the car was pretty new at that time so you might do better now. |

I use them once and awhile and enjoy them more than I thought as they do provide a massage that should prevent soreness on long drives. My wife on the other hand absolutely loves them and is always using them. I would be hard pressed to get another vehicle without them. On our 5k mile trip this summer neither of us were sore from the sitting so long in the seats and I think the massage was party of that.

It really helps in long trip and it is less tiring. Quote:
Save me a few thousand as I don't want Merino, Sky lounge, ventilated seats, fragrance air.... I also added trailer hitch and luggage compartment package. The latter is pretty nice and very convenient. Quote:
Also watch out of the factory sales event. They had one in Sep 19-21 with $2,000 factory rebate for the X5. Are you in the west coast? Heard that they are adding a lot of bogus admin fees there. |

I was looking at the same, Premium Enhanced with all the options you mentioned. Why I went with the Excellence Package is because I wanted the extended leather so it only made sense to spend a bit more and get all those other features included like messaging seats, sky lounge, etc.
In regards to Messaging Seats I like them very much. As for the sky lounge, driving back at night from the cottage 2 hours away made for an exceptional cabin feel. My wife adjusted the seat back, messaging seats on with the ventilated seats on and a bit of sparkle on top (sky lounge). I went M Sport, Air Suspension, Excellence Package, 22" Wheels and Luggage Compartment option. If the luggage compartment option is $500 you should go for it.
