Specs Finalized; Dealer Negotiations Starting

[Full Court Press]

F15 Gurus,

Following weeks of research, my wife and I have decided on the F15 35d as listed below. As many have observed, the feedback on this site is invaluable. BMWs are in our family for over 20 years though this is a first X model we are selecting. The other two finalists were Cayenne Diesel and next-gen, 2016 Q7.

Mineral White was not my pick though wife is going to drive this car more than I thus it's a compromise choice.

Would appreciate thoughts and driving experience on the options. TrueCar valuation is $73,150.

Cheers and Happy Holidays.

The only suggestion I would make is to order DHP if is in the budget. If not order the Adaptive-M suspension (which is what I ordered) it makes a big difference in the ride and handling.

I agree with Turbo but you cannot get DHP and the third row in the M Line. Take a look at my car and you will see you can get a similar look through the Lux Line. I will tell you that DHP makes the biggest difference in how this car drives. Turbo is right that you should at least get the Adaptive M, but DHP is a game changer.

Great build otherwise. Except for DHP, I have your exact build except in Black.

I would also strongly suggest the 20" wheels. It makes a big difference in the appearance.

Thanks. The vehicle is primarily for my wife's daily commute and transporting two small kids on weekends. As much as I wish, firmer/sportier ride is not a top priority. That's why we opted for the 19" all-season wheels (467-m style). Does Adaptive M Comfort compromise ride comfort?

Not all. In fact it is more comfortable because of how it is designed
