I was at game 5 and I can tell you that was a game to remember if you were a Blue Jays fan of course. That game had ALL the drama.

With regard to the tracking of production on BMW's website, I think we all agree it is woefully slow and inadequate. In fact, the website never updated my production, even after I took delivery. The (800) number as everyone has mentioned is much better and I found the folks who answer our calls are cheerful and courteous. They gave good, detailed information. We also should not forget that our dealer also has updates and the dealer can be pestered to give that data. My dealer printed copies of his updates on four separate occasions. I ordered my X5 on Saturday, October 31, 2015, and it was delivered to my dealership in Jacksonville, Florida on Friday, November 13, 2015, less than two weeks later (I picked it up the following Wednesday, November 18, 2015). There have been many comments about where to draw the line between an X5 50i and an M5. Like you, I wanted the ACC stop and go cruise and I do like the multi-contour seats over the M5's seats. Plus, my wife drew the line at $100,000 MSRP. I can't wait to hear your report on the Night Vision. I did not get that option and now I wonder if I will regret that decision. As for my planned additions, all I need are some floor mats, a cargo mat, the invisihitch, and the all-important coat hanger. Other than the invisihitch, I plan to do no other modifications. I am happy just the way it is. |

I plan to get some all weather floor mats, a cargo net for the back end, and maybe a cover.That is about all I plan on doing except maybe having it wrapped in clear film. I have heard it prevents rock chips and is invisible. what do you think about having it done? |

If you plan on keeping the car a while, I would recommend finding a good Xpel installer in your area. Take a look at my delivery thread in the X5M forum to see before/during/after photos of what the install looks like. Good luck! |

Here are a couple of photos from Bimmer Work that show my colors, wheels, and options. It should be finished with the assembly line portion of it's life the day after tomorrow.

Very nice build.
Off topic but funny - on iphone 5 if you open the interior pic in album mode or horizontally, time will show right in the middle of the rear mirror |

The photos above are not mine, but from Bimmerwork.com. I entered my last 7 from the VIN and it showed pics of the vehicle with the options, colors, wheels, etc. and it listed all the options I ordered. Pretty fancy considering BMWUSA never heard of the car. I will take some photos when I get the car and post them. In the meantime, here is what the interior color combo looks like.

Full Merino leather that is optional on the X5M would also be nice to have. But that Nappa is nice. I test rode an X5M last week and while nice, I couldn't believe ACC isn't available on the X5M.

I find it unusual as well. Sales people say it is because of the front bumper design. There is no place to position the radar unit. Seems like if they really wanted to find a way, they could.
