I'm going with all season (although in Toronto...yes, yes,...) but I'm really tired of this tire change every 6 months on my current X5, especially that every time you take it to the dealership, there's a new dent or scratch somewhere to be found
I'm also not a M Sport fan, due to two issues: I don't like the steering wheel, and exterior colors are limited...
I'm inquiring about "Dynamic Handling Package"...whether it is orderable in Canada...it is not in the standard order guide...even if so, would it contradict with 3rd row seating...anyone knows?
There's a Dynamic Suspension package we have here that can not go with 3rd row...wondering of 2VM (if available has the same issue)?

Very similar to my build, really looking forward to the Nappa Mocha.

The Dynamic Handling is not available with 3rd row and MSport however you can spec all three on the Luxury and Xline which doesn't sound like a problem for you.

EDIT: Realized Canada Premium Plus includes Cold Weather items.

If fog lights are still Halogen for 2016 models you may want to consider LED package.

I do prefer LED, but It's a huge cost difference...with very little return IMO.
but thanks for pointing it out.

I presume the heated wheel is in here somewhere as well?

These new packages do make a lot of sense although I suspect that some of the US packaging makes it easier for dealers to have models with some of the tech included on the lot with a non-scary MSRP.

Good luck with the order!

I guess you can say the same about any other upgrade lol I would personally go for LED's, looks much better plus Xenons are old technology now Since you're not going for the 50i splurge on the LED's!

LED's makes your X5 look so modern But patrobX5 is right every upgrade is necessary when it comes to value...
