If those are really 2024s, why do the front ends look better than the 2024 X5M/X6M?

I’m in agreement… also Chalk by Porsche. Can’t stand it anymore.

If you want silver on a BMW- just bring back Titanium Silver. These gray flat and metallic shades aren’t as exciting as silver is for me. I know silver was overplayed. But an x5 in Glacier Silver would look amazing.

Its missing from the Canadian X6M pricing guide.

Unless you're talking about the Individual program, I know its still there, just don't know if I want to pay the extra $3k (vs Dravit) for TBII and wait the extra time.

I was talking about the US since your location is marked as Queens. TBII has always been a Priority 1 paint that required you to pay extra.

Yea I'm in the US, I was just looking at the paint options for other countries as an indicator. I didn't think paint options were one of the things that differed between regions?

And yea, with the 2023 X6M it was a +$2k option (like Dravit Grey). I don't want to pay the +$5k fee for a "true" individual paint. Also I might be misunderstanding the wait too, but I thought the individual paints offered on the configurator for the cheaper +$2k fee wouldnt have as big of an effect on build time.

In the past paint and required/allowed options have differed. They may not this year but you never want to assume something for the US based on another country.

The xline looks very elegant! Not sure M Sport is worth the premium anymore for a 50e.

Here is our Nardo - as many of said, common online but rare in person / at least on BMW in our area. It was individual when we built our 2022 - BG is has a blue hue, this is a bit warmer, we love it.

Well, it may not be available for the X6M, but is still available for the other X5 LCI models in Canada. Not sure about other X6 models.

Fair enough

Interesting.. thanks for pointing that out.

I guess I'm happy with either choice at this point. Might actually lean towards Dravit because it goes better with the red interior. Bah, I just have to be patient and wait a few more days for the X6M US pricing guide.

Is it safe to assume that M3/M4 LCi will get similar headlights?

While I would still prefer M-Sport, I completely agree about the xline looking night and day better. The old xline really had that base model look.

I'd love to see a black metallic with red instead of blue like the Azurite Black.

I miss that building. I know I could go there but taking delivery there is sorely missed.

He even mentions the victory lap when taking delivery.

The X line looks better imo. Here’s what they looked like next to each other preLCI. Wow the new look is so much more modern and sleek… now these look ancient

The quality of the picture is not good and moreover it seems is under a bad weather, the left car is disadvantaged due to the colour.
M-sport package is better even with the LCI. All these chrome xline is has been and it looks old for old people IMO

Just an evolution of the pre-lci in a good way. Really like the 'X' taillights, wish they changed cutout of the hatch instead of a chuck of blackout plastics.

Those arrow turn signals is interesting, feel likes those has been done in the 90s.

Glad to see no split headlights. Looks okay on the X7, the 7 Series is definitely different.
Yes headlights taillights indicator lights all look very good. Only small thing that irks me is that the DRL and indicator lights are shared - when the turn indicator lights are blinking that side of the DRL is off - annoying. I have seen this in some Audis as well. I much rather prefer dedicated lights.

You really thought about this! I’m old, so I agree. But to me X line is more rugged
