Great job of comparing the two colors...Donnington has silver particles...Space Gray has deeper texture and is less bright.
I recognize that both are good but I personally am left with Donnington. |

I think that's the standard side grille just wrapped in vinyl CF.

Correct you are. I was told the M Performace Air Breathers are still a couple weeks away from being available, so decided to try this look. Very impressed by pics. hoping it looks as good in real life...

BMW 2015 X5M in Donnington Gray looks more expensive just do to the paint color. But personally I am not into metallic paints.
Just went to look at a four series in Mineral Gray and it doesn't appear to be close to the DG. The MG is far too dark for my tastes and I still much prefer my Space Gray 335i. Maybe I could find something in the Individual exteriors that I like. |

The parts are available, especially the front grills and the side grills. I have them, unfortunately my dealer lied to me and said they will have them for me when I get delivery. Well BS! I called Joe from Century BMW in Greenville S.C., they are a Certified M Dealership, and he ordered them for me plus the carbon fiber mirrors and the carbon fiber center console. The mirrors and center console are on hold until April 7, luckily I paid for everything plus he gave me a great discount! Plan on buying my accessories from them from now on. His prices beat the two dealers that advertise here, which is a good thing for all of us! I'll post pics when I get my X5M back Tuesday/Wednesday.
Btw, please feel free to call Joe, I'm sure they will get you what you need asap! That's the right customer service from a dealership, especially when it's miles away and they give you that happy, friendly, southern hospitality with zero bullshit story! Joe |

Thanks for info. Will definitely give them a call. Need to get the CF console and shifter. Any idea what those will be going for?
Since the M performance kidney grill/air breathers are black I think I will wrap the chrome on the kidneys in CF film like on the sides for now. Hopefully one day someone will release those parts in true CF... All I know is both CF and black look better than the chrome! Quote:

Here's what it looks like on...
BTW, fender, rocker panel, and the door from beneath the character line have all been beneath character line have all been covered in Xpel ultimate. Upper door has not. Can't tell the difference. Love this product! Last edited by 2-cb; 04-01-2015 at 12:29 AM.. |

Also couldn't resist adding a little tint to the front doors...makes it flow better in my opinion.

Sorry you had some issues with your dealer. And I will definitely check with Joe. But I just wanted to be 100% clear that dealing with Adam @ Seattle BMW was super easy and we had a deal worked out within minutes. Obviously I have to reserve final judgment until car is delivered, but so far I have nothing but great things to say about this purchase experience -- despite them being a few days late with the M performance gear.

I will say this is a very weird way of getting accessories for a car that's out and on the road. Gotta love BMW! Joe |
