Hi All! New Member, NYC
Hi Everyone!
Been lurking on this forum for over a year now trying to do research on what new car to buy and last month I finally decided to take the plunge and factory ordered myself a brand new 2017 X5 xDrive35i M Sport. Had it 3 weeks now and I am quite liking the car! Having been an Audi guy for 10 years, I was almost 100% set on an SQ5 to replace my S4, but the overall package of the X5 won out in the end. Except it's a little slow compared to an S4 and SQ5, so I've ordered the MPPK tune as everyone raves about it on here, so hopefully that'll have more of the power I'm looking for! Anyways, below are the specs; 2017 X5 xDrive35i Space Gray Black Dakota Leather Cold Weather Package Driving Assistance Package M Sport Package -20" M Wheels -Adaptive M suspension (love this) Harmon Kardon Sound Premium Package (Only wanted the Comfort Access from this....) Space-saver spare Surround View MSRP was $72,420 with a sale price of slightly under $65,200, how did I do on this deal? Pics below! and a pic of my 2010 Audi S4 |

Welcome aboard!
Over time, let us know how you would rate the overall fit and finish between BMW and Audi since you've switched over. I'm in the NYC area as well (most of the time) so if you ever get the chance to come out, the local meets that take place in the area are always a good time.

Fit and finish of the S4 was excellent. However, I do feel my previous A3 before felt better made. X5 is another class above and definitely feels on par with Audi products of similar level. Awesome, would be great to meet some new people, when and where are the meets usually? |

keep an eye out on the forum. when a meet is scheduled, usually a thread is created in order to get a headcount to see who is available to come out.
Glad you're enjoying to X5 so far. Hopefully the MPPK will add enough power to meet your needs.

Welcome to the forum, mighty nice looking x5 there, and good call with 20's instead of stock mSport wheels, although I must ask what's your plan for winter on those 20's, and post-winter pothole ridden BQE / BELT ?
PS: Great deal and amazing job getting 10% off MSRP, is this a lease or a finance? I hope they didn't jack up the APRs.. Unless you had some sweet incentives/rebates going for you?

Great looking car! My build is very similar to yours excluding the HK and Mineral White. I also got 10% off MSRP, and special ordered through BMW Bayside, so I think you got a good deal. Be prepared to change out those summers tires when winter comes. Luckily I was able to hold off and plan on picking up some DWS06 tires in December. I am located in Bay Ridge. I'll see you around! |

Definitely not using summer tires in winter, had a few close calls in the past with the A3 on summers lol. hyde Financed at 3.15%, pretty standard I think. Planning on getting a set of OEM 19" 449 style rims with the Pirelli Scorpions for winter. Was thinking of getting some DWS06 and just use 1 set all year round, but can't beat dedicated winter tires. The 449 rims look pretty sweet on an space gray M Sport, video in link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyH4PgzmR-Y Not too far from you splitsensetam , I'm just over in Bath Beach.

Awesome pretty close to me! I'm usually at the VW/Audi meets on Wednesdays at Caesars Bay. Come to think of it, I see you have a white X4, you weren't by any chance there the other night?

Welcome jlu88 !!
Comfort Access is the best, the keyless entry for locking, unlocking is so convenient. I also like the 4 zone climate control. Good choice, this is a must have option...

Another option that's worth every penny, one of the dealerships was trying to explain why I don't need it lol

Oh definitely, no more rummaging around my pocket for the keys. Only have people in the back like a couple of times a year, so 4 zone won't get used often.

Nope the X5M is my only car. We'll spot each other at some point. I'm in bath beach and bayridge very often. If you see a loud X5M its most likely me lol
