The boss has arrived!!!

CBBMWNA · 10-12-2018, 07:06 PM

we just had our X5 training car stop in today - 50xi trim with all the options - euro car so I couldn't take photos or I'm at risk of losing my job apparently. Nonetheless I am stoked for the new architecture that is going to be implemented on the future g chassis cars. You'll see the new iDrive 7 with very similar buttons that are in the X5 on the new 3 series! Same on the M850, and the new 7 coming next couple years.

What suspension did you drive the g05 with and how does it compare to non dhp f15?

Does your dealer sink screws/license plate into the front bumper of all the brand new cars? That would be a deal killer for me!

Required to pass inspection in the state. If it is a special order we ask the client.

Standard set up, it is a much smoother and comfortable ride.

Thanks for sharing the photos on the new X5. I gotta admit that the taillights on the X3 look better.

I currently have hk spec 30d m sport f15 with m suspension and rear air w/comfort seats (which I don't think is a configuration available in USA) and have a g05 m sport with 2 axle air (also not available in usa) and wondering if I will feel and difference at all.

I like it, I just purchased a Trackhawk last week but may need to go to a X50m in 2020 when the real motor gets installed. Refinement and tech looks awesome!

How do you like the non circular odometer? Not sure if I like it or not. Definitely going to need to get used to it.

THOR48 · 10-13-2018, 12:16 AM

Very cool! Can't wait to read & see more!

ron_jeremy · 10-13-2018, 01:59 AM

Wow, a leap forward from the F15, which was a weak model after the Great E70. This however, really a true X5 again. The X3 Looks Close, the X line up makes more sense, and it will be complete when X7 arrives.

jeffhoff · 10-13-2018, 05:28 AM

Rumor from my CA is due to a recall no (US) deliveries will happen before mid November.

That said I'm looking forward to getting the keys to one of these beauties in my hands soon.

mnx5er · 10-13-2018, 06:08 AM

Jay what was the build date on this car?

So the Msport does not have the right steering wheel again

Are you in a state that doesn’t require a front license plate? Here in VA it is required. Is there a better option than a plate bracket?

Why would the xLine have a M sport steering wheel?

I am right there with you. I reached out to my dealer yesterday and asked not to have the front bracket and plate installed. Here in CT we have the luxury choosing if we want a front plate.

Do you know if there is a wireless charger with the heated / cooled cupholders? Thanks Jay, exciting to see the shots!

It's darker than Space Grey. Kinda in the middle between that and Dark Graphite.

I was worried about my order - sight unseen. I am totally ecstatic!

You will love the color! Has different shades to it depending on how you look at it. When it was on the truck and I was standing inside it looked like black

Hey - this appears to be a square (vs. staggered) wheel / tire combo, correct?

Correct. Since the 20's are the base wheel now for the M Sport, you have to go to the 21" or 22" wheels for the staggered set up
