Correct 450 wheels which are a no cost option. I know the 19" are generally not loved here but my wife uses the car a lot for work driving all over the place including to some not great areas. I wanted as much rubber as possible on it especially with the condition of the roads in winter in the NYC area.

Took it on a 120 mile round trip to NJ and it feels smaller than its size. I haven't had a BMW for 20 yrs and really like the way this drives. It handles a lot sharper than the last gen XC90 that we're coming from. The car is for my wife and she loves it but did say that she misses the V8 grunt a little from the Volvo, however she was driving in comfort mode and hasn't really opened the X5 up yet. The X5 feels faster to me and it is on paper.

Car and Driver talked about it needing corrections when driving on straight roads. It definitely has a sportier feel with more precise steering IMO than the new XC90 and Q7 we also tested, which I like a lot better but for someone like my wife coming from a softer SUV it may be an adjustment. The base suspension is not well regarded here, but I'm quite impressed with it, ours also has air suspension. I don't find that it has too much body roll at all, it feels dialed in just right to me. I am going to drive this a lot and I had fun taking some turns with it. I've had several sports cars and find the steering and handling to be quite good, I've been driving in mostly sport mode.
Yes, I'm talking about silver color piece on the bottom. This is MY17.
I've ordered Glacier Silver color so not sure the bottom piece will be in this color or will match the body color-glacier silver. Yours looks way better cos it matches with overall car.

Agreed with 450, my CA gave me same explanation if you want to spend another 2k in next 3 year on tires. 20" doesn't come with all season tires.

If you don't select the Luxury Package the rear has that plastic silver piece, regardless of what color paint you select. With Luxury Package that piece is painted body color. On a silver car there isn't as much of a difference between the two but we liked the painted look of the Luxury Package better.

Yes, I have luxury pkg on my 2015. All MY except MY18, even with luxury pkg, that piece was tin color not exactly glacier silver body painted color.

Agreed on dark color car, it looks pretty good.

Was your production week #37 (09/11/2017)? if you don't know, your CA can see in DCSNET.

I'm trying to see when my production will be completed? I have OL which is expiring so need to do some dates calculations.

I'll find out.

You can call BMW Financial and give them your production number, they will extended your lease 7 more days if it's getting close to your return date.

Thanks!

It's not lease that is expiring, it's UDE event code (ude.bmwusa.com) (OL number) for $1000 voucher. My lease is still till Dec and build week is #43 (Oct 22).

I believe production is completed in your build week, and it starts 1 week prior your assigned production week number (as per other bimmer forum)...just wanted to cross check.

Just noticed individual wheels have a new look (20"), painted differently

New (two tone) vs old (very shiny).

Has one ever tried to change the seat or interior stitching while ordering a vehicle? I asked my salesman about it today and he said that it would slow down production and it wouldn?t be cheap.

I?m just looking to do a normal black interior with red stitching instead of the white stitching.
