The other car is the wife's 2014 Buick Enclave. Great every day vehicle for running around with the kids. Much bigger interior specs than the BMW and has better interior space utility than even a Tahoe. Interestingly enough, the Enclave had the illuminated light strips in the dash/doors before BMW had them....but only the BMW allows you to change the colors blue/orange/white.

I did not get tint. The recent production f15's has 420 Sun Protection Glazing, good luck finding details. The 3m ceramic looks like smart choice, more so in warmer locations. Thanks, I will look into this.

I have talked with all the dealers in DFW, the problem is Plano had a car I want and they are offering the least amount off, $1000, Dallas $1500 and Arlington $2000, but I would have to order the X5 with everyone else.

@bothfly, are you looking to get an X5 in inventory or would you be willing to customize one? I could refer you to someone at a DFW who could probably beat your best offer, for a custom order. I was able to get a production slot for beginning Mar (est. delivery end of Mar). PM me if you're interested.

Gorgeous

I would seriously consider wrapping that in Xpel Ultimate....that paint just looks too good to be victimized by crap on the road.

Gorgeous ride.

Both E53 and E70, BMW offered an OEM hood deflector. I had it on E53 and it had no visible chips on the hood.

Has anyone come across the deflector for the F15?

jdfw75, new pic's are really nice. Other than wheels and grills totally black. My 50i is graphite metallic. Thanks for reassuring me that I didn't bite on the deep discount on the E70. For the 3 packages and options, I chose I love them all. Another reason to go with F15 why not get access to newer technologies. The running boards, I could have done without.
