How does the paint look? Did the PCD do a good job detailing it? No swirl marks??

PCD delivery detailing was spot on with none to very very limited swirl but in locations where it isn't noticeable - hood was swirl free. Had the opportunity to spend time and look over the vehicle fit and finished and I'm extremely impressed.

Driving around downtown Greenville and highways, my X5 has been squeak, rattle free.

Everyone should experience PCD at least once. The instructors, Genius and staff are amazing. The coordination and orchestration of PCD makes you appreciate all the work that goes in building and delivering the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Sounds like an awesome experience. Congrats on the new ride!

Grinning from ear to ear. I highly highly recommend it. It was a f'ing blast despite the rain and it was actually even more fun in the wet during the instructor hot laps... these guys are pro's and the M5 Competition is just a beast.

Off road course was a blast and especially the 360 loop showcasing DSC in the wet. I was doing 46-48MPH around the loop and the 3 was just tracking along keep everything in check.

You're going to have a blast.

If this is your first, you're going to have a blast. The staff is the best and we were treated like VIPs. We were lucky to get a tour of the X3 production line and museum.

This is my 3rd PCD and it just keeps getting better and better.

Got a lot of compliments from the staff and attendees on the combo. They don't get many orders of IW/NB interior but it was worth the wait. I wasn't sure if the blue on white/blue, laser light blue element, M Sport brakes blue but this is the best X5 I've owned to date.

Congrads on the new X5. I actually think that's something cool about the Phytonic blue with the laser's & sport brakes. The blue coordination
is unique. The Merino IW/NB also compliments the exterior color as well.

Random rest stop photo. The driving assistance pro package and luxury seating massage functions have been making the driving home incredibly relaxing.

Looks great. Question, you mentioned a long wait on delivery - how long did you wait after placing your order? I am waiting for a allocation for the same color combo M50i. Very glad I went with the Ivory/Night blue- that is fantastic.

Here she is X5 M40i MSport Black Sapphire Metallic Ivory White Merino leather!

[mrjoed2]

Ok, Thanks. I would seem all ordered X5 versions are taking quite a while. My dealer is telling me the M50i has very tight allocations, but it seems with the 40i is as well. Seems Spartanburg is running full out.

That looks really good. I've been considering having the rear diffuser wrapped in gloss CF to match the mirror caps (and future front lip maybe??)... but I may do the same thing and just have it painted to match.

Anyway.... just curious... My M50i is the same alpine white with extended shadowline..... is the portion around the tow hitch "black".... or is it a dark grey?? I've looked at several different pictures, and I can't quite make out if it's the same black used around the window trims, grill, etc...... or if it's a slightly different color.
