So, today was finally the delivery day for me. Long five months since the order, my M60i has arrived home

Not surprisingly, it’s instant love. Until the break in period ends, I won’t even complain about the castrated soundstage. And what happens later, time will show

I’m pretty stoked about how the car turned out and how well it looks in person. My doubts concerned both the paint and the interior… I was unsure about the paint, because of the difficulty of capturing Tanzanite in pictures. It absolutely always comes out badly. However, in person, in the sun it’s just jaw-dropping - like the paint was an inch deep. Really happy about that!

As for the interior, with the seats I optioned, the choices were basically two: black or tartufo (and I wanted ivory or silverstone; neither of which could be had). Since, in my view black interiors are too dark and solemn, I went with tartufo. And it’s nice - makes the interior pop a bit. But I’d definitely prefer a whitish interior, such as can be selected for the proper Ms. Anyway, zero reasons to complain

I already do!

[Ruyseart]

Congrats!
Awesome spec, I had tanzanite in my last M4 and was stunning in the direct sunlight.
Enjoy that V8!

[chicagofan00]

Congrats! It’s gorgeous and TB with Tartufo is a perfect pairing.

The (lack of) exhaust is the only thing that bothers me to this day with the M60i. Barely ever hear the exhaust and sounds nothing like a V8 should. I never wanted something over the top and the exhaust pairing on had on my G80 prior to this was obnoxious at times but I also don’t like having zero sound. The wife and kids are happy…but I’m certainly not! Hoping to pull the trigger on an exhaust upgrade sometime this year. Waiting to hear how the Supersprint rear exhaust sounds once IND has the chance to get one in the hands of a customer in the coming weeks. The Dahler is intriguing as well but I am worried that it might be a bit too far on the “loud” end of the spectrum for what I ultimately want…but perhaps that would only be if it gets paired with their DP.

I have a friend who runs a tuning shop. He’s installing a Dahler exhaust on an X7 M60i for one of his clients as soon as the car gets delivered. Most likely in late June or in July. Will go and give it a listen. If they let me, I’ll record a clip and post here as well

Nice, would love to hear a clip if you can get one! They have a quick clip on their site but would be good to have a few more examples.

Congrats!! She’s pretty, love the colors. Many happy miles.

Those seats looking awesome. They’re not available on US spec cars. 👎🏻

[grigiogirl]

Congratulations!! Beautiful color combo, love how tanzanite looks in the sunlight. Wish we could get those seats in the US models.

[matowi]

Thank you all!

[GB///M]

Beautiful! Congrats!

Well looky here, Congrats and awesome color, of course....!!!

Congratulations! I love the tanzanite blue exterior with full tartufo leather interior combo! Very classy! Super jealous that you have the M-seats, wish they had it available here in the US.

Enjoy your new X5 and post more pics especially if you do mods!

Beautiful ride! Congratulations!!! Love the M seats. I wish they offered them here in USA 😩

[matowi]

Yes, as I said in some other thread, I can’t understand why X5 destined for the US market can’t have some options. Clearly, it’s not for the parts shortage (they’re all built in the same plant), nor because of added cost (I bet many would happily pay up)

The seats are… the best I’ve ever had on any car - easily beating the comfort seats in my previous ride, the 7-series (I believe the comfort seats are called “multicontour” in US). I couldn’t be happier

Same goes for the double glazing (acoustic glass). The car is eerily silent inside (granted, we are in the run-in period and I only went as fast as ca 75 mph, but still the noise levels were impressively low)

Thank you. I’m so happy with the car, I might actually keep it in stock form. On the other hand, I’ve already asked for quotes on exhaust (Supersrpint, Dahler), lowering springs (AC Schnitzer), spacers, and ceramic coating / PPF

I won’t touch the engine with any piggybacks. The car doesn’t “need” more power or torque - happy with it as is

[trucheli]

Another option we don’t get in the US is model badge delete. I am debadging mine as soon as is delivered.

Is the speed governor removed in Europe?

CONGRATS!

Yes! I asked even for the side “vents” to not have the M60i lettering on them. Only thing that I couldn’t do anything about is the ///M badge on the grille. There’s no way to get that deleted

Speed limiter is present and can’t be removed (to the best of my awareness at least)
