Thanks for sharing your photo. I'm ordered Phytonic Blue M-sport with 740M wheels too, but with ivory interior. Good looking car!

Welcome to the BMW family. This will be our 5th BMW over the years and I still get excited every time. Enjoy your new car and the BMW experience.

I'm not a fan of black on Pythonic Blue but the grill looks good. I opted against doing it on my X3 (also Pythonic Blue) but the X5 is different

I almost got the P blue but went with carbon black. I wasn't sure if I'd get sick of the blue with time or not.

Thanks! My last 3 cars were black, so I kinda got sick of black and the high maintenance cleaning it needed. Carbon black is an awesome color.

So good and should be standard - why does ordering an M-sport black out all the trim except the grill - make it look like such a design screw up and out of place when there is no chrome anywhere else on the car.

Picked my Phytonic Blue M Sport/Black Merino leather/Aluminum Dark Mesh with style 740M rims yesterday. It looks great and drives beautifully. The massaging seats are amazing! Here are a few rainy day photos.

is the massaging and ventilated seat option really good? I really wanted the ventilated seat but dealer told me massaging option isn't that great its not like a lounge chair. so I went with only multi-contour seats.
