2014 X5 50i Delivered -- First 100 miles...
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com One quick note about the "Hold" -- the Hold (according to my dealer) was BMW NA's hold on the 50i which was 11/8. After I got the text it was on the truck headed to BMW of Encinitas, I hit the road. 2 hours later...I got the keys. Get ready for a heavy key. There's a nice titanium border so no more chips on the 'ole plastic key fobs. Front to back...BMW nailed it. Grill is mean; the "stance" in real life is true to the forum responses...you need to see it in person. My initial response to the Napa Mocha interior was wow. Seats are a vast improvement on my M5 (Yes) -- side bolsters hug you...Napa leather is just unreal. Once in the cockpit, the feel for the F15 gets better. LED's add a nice touch. Pretty fun to play with the different color combos. H/U display includes much more than '13 MY (tel + media now!). Ceramic controls are mint...touch screen iDrive controller is awesome for entering the nav. You can also swipe up/down. My drive home was late at night so I haven't opened it up...and won't for the first few hundred miles. It does have that nice "pull" when you give it some throttle. Different driver mode(s) are easy access next to the shifter...Sport is a nice balance -- tightens up steering dampener and gives you more power at the floor. Now to some pictures of the beast... A final thanks to Darren, Ray and Ronaldo @ BMW of Encinitas. |

Gorgeous. We all drool with jealousy.
Question please re the mocha. I'm tempted to go with it in my order, but still can't tell for sure what it actually looks like in real life (it comes across a bit different in each set of photos on the web). How might you describe it? Would you say it is dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Or something else? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer, and congrats on your sweet new ride. |

Led ambiance? Pretty cool. I guess thats the new thing. The S class has ability to change colors. Start the club in the car on the way to the club!!
