Hi all! New here and just wanted to share my new ride. Been wanting an X5 for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger! Glacier Silver 2017 SDrive (so cal) 35i, mSport, Premium Package, Driver Assistance, Driver Assistance Plus, HK and Car Play, Black Kidney Grill and Luggage Rack.

xdriverx · 04-03-2017, 11:48 AM

Very Nice! Is that the glacial silver color with 469M black wheels? I ordered mine in Space Grey with the same black 469M wheels. Black kidney, black roof rails.

This looks really good.

habsfan · 04-03-2017, 11:56 AM

Yes. Thanks! Never thought of the black roof rails but that's a good idea!

xdriverx · 04-03-2017, 12:09 PM

Do you have a shot from the rear straight on? I'd like to see the wheel width in relation to the body.

habsfan · 04-03-2017, 12:13 PM

nope sorry and i am at work now. I'll try to get one soon.

If his car is stock, then there thousands of photos on the photo of the day

I think the X5 looks the best with Wide ass tires.. it makes the X5 look beastly. 19" tires are just too skinny for these cars and doesn't give it the aggressive stance that these deserve!

Here are a few of mine.

The Saphire black in the middle is on 19" tires.

Thanks for posting those. I agree the wider tires give it a much beefier look.

OK makes sense now as I thought the BMW wheels came in 21" max size.

Colour looks fantastic especially with the black kidney grills

Having the same set up I'm not biased in anyway

Next on the list is the CF splitter and rear diffuser

Already got the diffuser and spoiler. Was in two minds about the front splitter. Didnt manage to find many pictures with it on a black car, so was unable to judge how it would look.

Hey guys, I just traded in a 6 month old 2017 X1 for a X5. The X1 was fun but a little small for me. I'm loving the X5 tho! Thanks.

alphaod · 04-04-2017, 02:36 AM

Congrats!

I completely agree, unfortunately photos never really seem to convey just how wide and aggressive the tires look in person.

Agreed! I think my night time photos shows it somewhat. But yeah in person I still sit back and admire how wide my X5 rears are haha.

It sort of reminds me of the batsman's tumbler rears

I agree aswell. I always look at them whenever i park but once i try to take a picture it doesn't look as wide anymore.

sward · 04-04-2017, 12:32 PM

Finally got my personal license plate

jkitsmiller · 04-04-2017, 08:16 PM

I just bought my 2014 X5 xDrive35d and love it. I can't believe the amount of torque it has.

Oh sweet. Didn't know they did personalized plates in the EU. I know you could "pick" plates, but didn't know you could fully customize.

Does it cost extra or anything?

Well. I'm not 100% sure but I believe Sweden is the only country in EU with personal plates. You pay a fee and then you have the right to use the plates for 6 years. You can move it between cars as long as you register it.
