First time X5 owner

DerekX5 · 04-13-2024, 09:20 PM

Hi, I am new to the G05 X5, just picked up a CPO 21 X5, M sport package, coffee interior, 21 inches wheel and best of all, red brembo.
Took me about 3 month to find the 3rd row X5 with M sport package. Trade-in a 21 Lexus GX460 with sport design package.
Previously owned a 04 E83 X3 with 3.0L,
04 Volkswagen R32, 13 Volkswagen Touareg.
Was working at Volkswagen dealer for 8.5 years as auto technician. Happy to join the bimmer world.

Congratulations!!! Beautiful ride!!

Nice! It would have been great to have the opportunity to option a X5 with 3rd row seating. Can you fit adults in the 3rd row?

Very nice,and congrats!

X5 3rd row is mostly for kids.

Congrats on the X5 how is the ride compared to the GX?

DerekX5 · 04-14-2024, 08:16 AM

GX is body on frame, truckish ride. X5 drives a lot more sporty, handle way better

Nice! I hope to join the X5 family soon

Welcome to the fam! I had no idea the red brakes were made by Brembo?? I got them for aesthetic purposes because they look the best and happen to make the car feel lighter due to their greater stopping power. Would make sense if a brake specialist produced them.
