will be attending viewing of a new X5 today
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Thinking of going with Msport. I think I will stick to space gray (am one of those guys who love that color). Below I put some of my thoughts on the car, in no way an in-depth review, only what stood out in my opinion -love the idrive screen, the clarity is much better then before seen in BMW, looks great in person (unfortunately my poor quality iphone 4 photos do not do it justice) -love soft close doors function, they near perfected this option on the new x5 (compared to what I have experienced with previous BMWs). Was not a fan before, love this function, will I get it again, not on my priority list -I thought dakota leather plus ventilation is not possible, well it looks like it is (at least with black dakota), negative side is that I do not think it looks that good (black at least) -rear seats (non-comfort) still look too plain, general feel in the back not so impressive -ambience light stripes look great, especially in blue, i thought i would stick with orange setting, but blue looks great (perhaps it is the whole i8 influence in my head) -wheels (19" for M sport), design wise nice, but definitely look too small, I will still take them because 20" without dynamic package might be too uncomfortable, still those wheel arches are way too big for 19" -idrive touch, like it, looks great, very easy to use, have to look less at the screen to type something as it reads it out to you as you write -quality feel great, i noticed small plastic bits (frame) around the ventilation, plastic looks a bit on the cheap side. Even with ceramic as an option, I think those stay -M steering wheel and dials, look great -front, will take some time to get used to, back looks far more impressive (contrary to the very first photos I saw). -break calipers on m50d are pretty big, need urgent coloring before street use . Even gray color would make them look great Last edited by 1230vani; 09-16-2013 at 08:09 AM.. Reason: added photos and some comments (pretty unuseful) |

Get some brown color pics if you can. Are you considering xLine with mineral white? xLine looks great with darker colors.
