High-gloss Black or Satin Aluminum
Hi all, I am new to this great forum and am eagerly waiting for my X5 production. I still have a few days to change my configuration, and I was wondering what you think about the M Sport design with Satin Aluminium window frames that I have selected.
If I am not wrong, this option is not available in many regions but where I leave it can be configured. Would you recommend that, or should I go for High-gloss Black? Note that the front grill will be Aluminium anyhow. |

It’s a matter of personal taste, but since you asked, I’d say go black, including the front grille

Never seen satin aluminum in person but if it’s an option I’ll always pick black window surrounds. As matowi said, black grills look good to and so do the black exhaust surrounds (which used to look even better before they made the insides shiney)

Thanks a lot for all your feedback! I see clear preferences toward black, which may indicate how easy it will be to sell once I want to replace it. I would go for black if we had picked a lighter color, but with the Black Sapphire, it looks too mean to me.
I was rather wondering if there is anything wrong with the Satin Aluminum. If it doesn't look cheap or something? |

Nah, Satin Aluminum looks good tho. It feels like a proper premium car/limousine. I hate all these 7ers with all blacked out details. Personally went with black frames and grill but only because it was included in the M pro package which has M sport brakes. If these two were separate I would go with satin aluminum definitely.

I thought aluminum could look more classy until I got to see a unit my dealer got here, and for me the satin aluminum looked kinda cheap, so IMHO I made the right decision there, although it is a matter of taste of course. Another important point, in case you pretend to sell it, you will always find it much easier to sell the one with the blacked trims rather than the aluminum ones. At least here in Spain, I don't think even 1 in 20 cars go with the aluminum finish. Just my 2 cents

Had her for 2 months now. Waiting for the new wheels to arrive (backordered), then it will get H&R lowering springs installed along with front lip splitter.
