I really like the blue... is that Carbon Black or Tanzanite?

Tanzanite. Last two X5s have been CB so fancied a change. Love CB thought it's a beautiful dark dark blue that looks amazing when it's clean.

To be fair they've been excellent - part has arrived and will be fitted next week! The extra wait will just make it sweeter...

Let’s hope we can still collect the cars in lockdown
Mine is at Southampton.
Being a 3 series it was built in the USA or Mexico hence the 3 weeks at sea.

In our country we can, because services for cars are opened and all dealers cares about money so they will give it to you dont worry.

Mb problem would be to sell new configurations. But still its possible

Spoke to my dealer on Saturday - looks like they will remain open as an essential workplace - so lockdown-lite has some benefits! I really hope we can still collect!!

Over the moon with it - it really is quite something.

After spending some time with it this afternoon I cannot understand what the journalists are on about when they say the ride is too harsh. Even in Sport Plus its not even as hard as my GT4 in the soft PASM setting. It steers beautifully and does the magic trick all good cars do in that it shrinks around you after a few miles.

Will post some initial thoughts and pictures up tomorrow!
