Love it! I love those 20inch rim style the best too.

newbimmerx5 · 11-16-2013, 03:58 PM

nice. Those must be 20", correct?

chrisny · 11-16-2013, 04:33 PM

Congrats! I almost did a luxury line with those wheels but decided on the M sport and stuck with the 19's for practicality. These pics are giving me second thoughts!

JS919 · 11-16-2013, 04:39 PM

Nice! Thanks for posting pics.
I'm on the fence between mineral white and space gray. I just ordered a x-line mineral white with 20's this morning but I've got a little time to change my mind.

Shaw · 11-16-2013, 08:08 PM

congrats! I see that you are pretty much fixed on Space Grey (also the 3 series)...lol
Can you post some interiors too? what color is it? Black or Mocha?
Cheers

SoCal BMW Driver · 11-16-2013, 08:10 PM

Very nice!
Thanks for sharing the pics. Considering that color with the m sport package.
Congrats on your cars.

We have black dakota interior w/ burl trim. I will try and get a few pics in the morning.

TurboAL47 · 11-17-2013, 05:46 PM

Nice!! Another space grey. Luxury line looks great.

BMW Junkie · 11-19-2013, 12:43 PM

Added interior pics. Sorry, they're phone pics in overcast weather, but they should give an idea of what black interior looks like. The back seat is large enough that with a car seat (a quite large one too) there is still enough room to lower the arm rest, which conveniently provides cupholders for our toddler.

RickP · 11-19-2013, 06:28 PM

Are those BMW OEM all weather floor mats? Thanks for helping me visualize the baby seat too :-)

I know this is off topic to a lot of you guys and I offer thousand apologies....

Just out of curiosity, why did you put the baby seat behind the driver and not passenger? Isn't it safer to get kids out from the passenger side when parked on a street?....Also, easier to glance back at the child if the seat is behind the passenger?

It's much easier for the passenger to deal with baby this way. Driver shouldn't be "glancing" back at baby anyway.

I guess I should have detailed my question a bit more. As matter of fact, as I was writing the question, I kinda thought you might comment of "glancing" thing.

When you're taking the baby to someplace by yourself, wouldn't it be easier to check/deal/glance at the baby if the baby is on the passenger side? Of course, when the vehicle is not moving (i.e.: prior to leaving the house, at a stop light, in the parking lot, etc.)

I ask, because I am planing to install a baby seat myself and wondered which location would be ideal: Driver, middle, or passenger.

x5pilot · 11-20-2013, 03:27 AM

My (newborn) reverse positioned baby seat is behind the passenger seat as Im 6'4" and the car seat wont fit behind the driver seat without moving my seat forward... which I'd rather not do!
As he moves into a larger seat (front faced) I know he'll fit behind my seat which I'd prefer.

BMW Junkie: Love the Space Grey thanks for the great pics!

BMWMN1971 · 11-20-2013, 08:51 AM

Well, I have two kids so one car seat on each side of the back seat

Car seats are huge and I can barely sit anyone in the middle. It turns my X5 in a 4 passengers SUV.

Yes, those are the OEM mats. They're pretty nice, and the dealer threw them in for free, so I chose free OEM over paying for WeatherTech (spelling?).

As far as positioning, we chose behind the driver primarily because it's easier than walking around the vehicle when putting her in/taking her out. Our toddler just turned 3, so we don't necessarily need to keep checking on her. In that instance, you can lean closer to the rear-view mirror and still see the car seat. We didn't really deliberate over the location much, so we'll see how it works.

However, we did not choose middle seat placement for 2 reasons. First, it takes up more usable space for passengers as someone already mentioned. Second, and most importantly, the anchor system is only for side seats, not middle.

dn325ci · 11-20-2013, 10:45 AM

Is that back seat the standard back seat or the "Comfort" back seat?
