The 21" rims are sweet and with the M Brakes, it really pops!!

I'm jealous of everyone that took delivery today, but I'll get mine figured out soon!!!! Enjoy!

I might pass on my order too...not sure. Only other option would be to order the 20"'s with a winter set up...wonder how much THAT will set me back. Anyone know when those wheels might be open for accessory orders?

I do have to say that the false exhaust tips are a total bummer. They need to address this. You walk behind the car and you can see the actual exhaust inside of the false tips and it just looks stupid. Not sure how you could even mod without replacing the entire rear bumper with whatever new "M" bumper and exhaust that they eventually put out there in 2020.

The 21" rims are sweet and with the M Brakes, it really pops!!

How does it work when you build a car and don't like it when it arrives? Do they just put your would have been car in their inventory and put it out in the lot???

Yes it does! side molding and size, of course, help distinguish the two... probably other little things I haven’t noticed...

Thanks guys, panic over

I drove by Freehold, NJ BMW and they had one with the 20". Sad to say looks very nice. Should have went with the 20" myself. Plus they had it in the blue exactly how I ordered it and it looks Fantastic.

Get the 20” msport star rims. The euros have a setup with the same msport rims, but offering a 305/40/20 rear. Buy the rear rims from BMW and swap them to get the staggered look. Best of all, all seasons make sense in this size. Good luck finding a 315/35/21 all season tire that works.

I just took delivery - they checked it with the various updates, fixes, etc.

See attached pictures.

Slowly drove home... with utmost care.

Did you get a citation for driving too slowly? (your photo)

Congrats on the new ride! Looking forward to hearing your driving impressions.

I was stuck in traffic - drove 5 miles -> I took delivery at 2 miles and added 5 miles so I am at 7 miles... and avoided the crowded freeway.

I have zero regrets changing my order from mineral white to arctic grey.

The black vernasca leather w/ brown contrast stitching looks great - brown contrast looks more white.

Fit and finish is solid - no problems noticed as I put everything unloaded from my prior X5 to the new X5.

The technology is reminiscent of my prior X5 and the interface easy to use/learn - zero learning curve. I cannot comment on the drive, nor comment on all the customization, etc. until I spend more time - need to go back to work. I will report back later this weekend.

When you get a chance can you please post closeup pics of the black with brown stitching. I ordered it without seeing how it looks. Just didn't know if I made the right decision. Please post when you get a chance. Thanks

Someone had recently posted picture of it. That picture was accurate. I will post once I have the X5 outside in the sun.

That was me that posted it but I didn't think it was a true reflection. I was expecting brown as stitching but you did mention it looks white. What trim did you get?

black vernasca leather w/ brown contrast stitching with fineline strip brown high gloss wood trim - brown stitching looks white and the brown wood trim looks dark, really dark. Note the seats have a small m logo - very subtle, very nice.
