Favorite Option/Least Favorite/Option you wish you got
I'll start: Favorite option- Massage Seats with ventilation (best thing ever)
Least favorite: tow hitch because they didn't tell me kick to open would be gone, also the WiFi hotspot with enhanced Bluetooth that doesn't work. Option I am SO MAD I didn't get: 3D because I never used it on my old one and didn't realize how much it changed.

How effective are the massage seats? I have opted for the luxury seating package and waiting period for the car to arrive is 6-8 weeks - I am dying of anxiety and excitement here but that's ok haha.
I bought the luxury seating package as a surprise for my wife as she is getting this car once our baby pops out this fall. |

It is EXTREMELY floaty and bouncy...specially in the back, even in sport plus.
I'm comming from an F15 with standard suspension and 20's and it felt a lot more sporty. I've had the car for two weeks and can't get used to it. I'm trying really hard but is getting difficult. |

also a reason we didn't get the 50i, exhaust sounds badass, but will bother the little one sleeping (driving and in the garage) |

Agree on the massaging seats. We made sure and sit in one with it before ordering, and it has not disappointed. It's our running joke to make sure and use them every time.. as at a $1600 option per 2 people.. at say a 5$ cost per trip.. it's still 180 trips.. silly I know... but they're awesome. I'm beginning to resent my 340 with lowly dakota leather and no massaging... Don't regret any of packages we got (all of them). I sorta wish we picked up 2 other options 1)leather dash and 2)m sport brakes.. just vanity. |

I think the Harmon Kardon is remarkably better in this car than my old F15. I don't see any need for the more expensive option. Love the massaging seats for sure and so glad i got the leather dash too. i don't think there's any option that i wish I had.

I agree the Harmon Kardon is amazing!!! (I am no audiophile) M-sport is a must for me! 3D camera's are awesome and super helpful. Tow Hitch for bike rack and small trailer for trips to Lowe's. The Tech is awesome. (I am a nerd 100%) Wish List; Msport brakes due to color from my understanding the 50i already has the largest option... Leather Dash. Wife has it I do not, wanting to see how they both hold up here in AZ. Didn't care for; Message seats, I didn't feel like I got enough out of it to make it worth it. Ventilated seats, felt like it wasn't helping at all. I did however come from a vehicle that pumped air in so I felt it more. As I understand it BMW is just pulling air out of the seat.

Love: massage seats, merino leather-super soft, leather dash, 3D
Lukewarm: 22’s. Maybe it’s the Continentals but loud at times and stiff over bumps and stuff. Contrary to the above but HK is also a disappointment. They sound similar at quiet volume but at louder volumes difference is noticeable and soundstage is much higher at ear level while HK sounds like it’s in the floor. My G30’s B&W system blows it away and also demoed a G05 with B&W after ours went into production. It’s even better. Wish we ordered: B&W system, IAS and Air suspension to quell the 22’s ride.

My wife loved the massage seats, our test drive car had them and she was hooked.
We also both strongly preferred the M-Sport's body colored look over the standard line and black cladding. 360/surround view camera is also a nice feature. We wanted the rear sun shades, but none of the cars in the area either had the Executive package with the right other options, or had the shades stand alone. We got some stick on ones from Amazon that mostly do the trick though. |

The message seats are not like a vibrating chair. They were designed with BMW by a team of doctors. The massage functions feel like a chiropractor is applying pressure with their thumbs working the tissue. It’s the most effective massaging seats I have experienced. I use them just sitting in my driveway. On long trips, it’s a must. 1100 miles driving in one day speaks volumes on how comfortable and supportive the seats are with the massaging function.
You want to impress a passenger that is checking out your new X5. Just say “Hey BMW turn on passenger seat massage”. |

I LOVE the 3D surround view and parking assist! I am also very pleased with the massage, ventilated seats as well as the Gesture Control, so cool!
Wish I had gotten the Leather Dash. |

Great post, glad I came across it as I have not ordered yet. However, didn't anyone get the optional electric cargo cover or the spare tire option?

I wish I got the leather dash. I thought it was kinda silly due to price but now I notice it. Really, I wish the 50i/M/Executive came with it standard instead of a cheap rubber one. At least use sensatec...
Very glad I got the 22's and 50i. The engine is crazy fun and the wheels look basa$$. Conti's do have too much road noise tho - glad for the accoustic glass. Still, they give the car the look that makes me happy every time I walk up to it. As I've said in other posts, ventilation is huge for me in Tx, just wish it was actually good. Still checks the "better than nothing" box but def is a "is this thing even on" implementation in this car. Edit: forgot to mention Driver Assistance is a must. Love it! |
