2020 X5 MSPORT /// ARTIC GREY x COGNAC /// HRE FF11
We were in the market for a family car and ended up with an X5! Couldn't be happier, especially my wife.
2 weeks of ownership and it's definitely been a fun and luxurious car to haul the family around. Having driven the F80 for the past 3 years, it's a nice change for me as well. Between the ride, comfort, and just the features of the car are night and day compared to the M3 — which I still have by the way, with no intentions of selling... for now. We went with Artic Grey on Cognac interior, MSPORT package with the MSPORT brakes, and extended Shadowline trim. Was heavily debating on the air suspension but just ended up with the Adaptive M suspension.. will opt for KW v3's if I feel the itch to drop the car, but for now, the ride/suspension is great. It is an SUV (SAV?) after all. Anyway, here are some pics — just running 12/15mm Future Classic spacers and debadged the rear. My wife actually wants a front lip LOL but options are somewhat currently limited. Wish list would also include 22" wheels with summer performance tires and maybe KW V3 coil overs...

Congrats! The interior is such a nice place to be compared to the F80 right? lol
Every time i drive my X5M I'm just in awe of how special this thing looks and feels inside and out. BTW since i had a M50i on order i already started looking into mods for it and found out that 3D Design is working on a front lip/roof spoiler for the G05. They told me it should be ready really soon last I checked with them. Something to consider since front lip options is very limited at the moment. Alan

Thank you! Was definitely torn between Carbon Black and Artic Grey. Wanted to switch it up and went with the latter... really happy with that decision!

You would have to contact IND for pricing but knowing what 3D Design parts usually goes for it won't be cheap. Its high quality parts made in Japan with perfect fitment.

Next mods would probably be painted front reflectors, 22" wheels, and a front lip.

Although may want to skip any CF on the X5. Have more than enough of it on my F80 lol. May just do gloss black accents on this one.

Update: Just placed an order for a front lip, side skirts, rear splitter in gloss black from Maxton Design.
Should be here next week. In the meantime, more pics of the X5.

Finally got the Maxton Design kit installed. I ended up getting the front lip, side skirts, and their rear splitter in gloss black. Fitment is pretty good!
Also got painted front reflectors done.

Looks great. Trying to choose a color for my build, and leaning towards AG. Re the subtlety of the color...I love it when it shifts from dark to light, and even bluish in certain lighting. Not a fan of any purplish undertones...how often would you say it has a more violet hue?

I honestly haven't noticed any purplish undertones.. (maybe it's the reflection from our Halloween decoration in one of the pics?)
