After an excellent handover from my BMW dealer - have now had the car for a couple of days and wanted to share some thoughts and photos.
In short - the car is incredible - its a massive leap on from my F15 M50d and far better than what I had hoped for. Thoughts in no particular order:
Overall - love it! Its a great addition to the stable and looking forward to many years driving it. Pics to follow! Some Pictures!! |

Looks great. Enjoy it. Makes me even more eager to get mine. Looks like mine got loaded on the train today at Spartanburg for its long train ride to the PDC in Oxnard.

Did they forget to remove the shipping blocks? I know many, myself included mention the huge wheel gap but that seems to be excessive??
Outside of that, looks great and congrats

Yeah it is a big gap - but not in the overall context of the car. That said I can see why people will want to lower it.

2021 X5M Alpine White Black Full Merino Leather Style 818M wheels Carbon Fiber Trim Competition Package Driving Assistance Professional Package Executive Package Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System It departed Spartanburg by train on 11/07. Expected arrival at VPC-SB on 11/17. I have the Bill of Lading #, so I wish I could track the train. But looks like you need an account with the rail company to track it. Anyone have access to Norfolk Southern or BNSF tracking? |

Looks great - love the interior/exterior colors. Just a fantastic vehicle to drive everyday. I’m not sure what it says about me, but I feel better about my day after I’ve driving it...and generally the opposite when I don’t.
